The open-source Kubernetes container management and orchestration project was first started by Google in 2014. In September 2015, the project hit its 1.0 milestone and was donated by Google to the Linux Foundation’s Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), where it has continued to be developed ever since. While Google still remains a contributor and user of Kubernetes, one of the big shifts in the last two years has been an expanded array of vendors both contributing to, and providing commercial support for, Kubernetes.
