Bare Metal to Containers to K8s: How We Got Here
summary
Timeline from punch‑card mainframes and a 2,000‑lb 5‑MB drive to VMware 1.0 (1999) then hardware virtualization in mid‑2000s, then 2006 cgroups/Borg enabling Docker containers and the shift from guest OS isolation to lightweight images. Scheduling layers appear because containers need restarts and scaling, and Kubernetes is a for-loop becomes the practical claim that wins: Kubernetes plus CNCF tooling runs replicas, restarts, and nodes. Shipyard is an open‑source ephemeral environments platform built to leverage that stack.
