Kubernetes was evolved from Borg, which long predates docker, so no, it wasn't built around it. I have to wonder just how much Google knew they were going to squash docker from the time of that announcement, or if there's an even longer play going on here.

You may find this comment on a previous thread an interesting counterpoint: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17580793

Though, as a counter-counter point, a blog post from Kubernetes itself states that it's got a direct lineage https://kubernetes.io/blog/2015/04/borg-predecessor-to-kuber...
My guess is that the truth is in the middle :)
That is a common belief, and a regular Google PR talking point, but itβs incorrect. Kubernetes is only vaguely inspired by Borg, and was created by different people, using different technology, endeavoring to solve a different problem.
In fact you could say Kubernetes was evolved from Docker, much more than it was evolved from Borg.
