On June 10, 2014, the official Google Cloud Platform blog had a post from Eric Brewer, VP Infrastructure and Google Fellow. This unassuming post talked about Google’s investment in containers such as support for Docker in Compute Engine VMs and the release of a container resource monitoring tool called cVisor.

What was also announced in same the post changed the face of modern infrastructure forever. Eric mentioned about a brand-new open source project from Google called Kubernetes.
