The history of Borg influences the history of Kubernetes in many ways: Google has different teams handle “get traffic to a cluster” and “serve traffic”, so Kubernetes has a conceptual split here too. Tim Hockin, Kubernetes co-founder, Google principal engineer and former Borg/Omega team leader, joins Adam and Craig to explain the history and future of the Ingress API, why it’s taken so long to get to v1, and how it might evolve in the future.
