> From your example, K8s will definitely outlive Google. Hard to say about Android.

What leads you to say that? I wouldn't be surprised if kubernetes is dead in 20 years. I would be very surprised if google is dead in 20 years.

Frankly I'd be surprised if Kubernetes wasn't dead in 20 years.

Imho, K8s eventually evolves into an OS for running K8s, then gets productized on {non-x86-64}

not looking forward to the k8s-arm-soc enabled bootloader (tightly integrated to systemd of course) to run k8s-os to run k8s-system to run docker.

It’s just my opinion and I’ll be happy to be wrong (because it means something better will have supplanted it).

But I don’t think there’s a significantly-simpler, mature abstraction for doing container orchestration, than K8s.

K8s’ main advantage/stickiness factor, is how abstract and modular it is. It’s an opinionated Kernel that gets most things right and has a huge ecosystem of tools built around this kernel.

It has a very similar set of stickiness factors to Linux, imo, although the origin story couldn’t be more different of course.

I think if anything replaces K8s, it’ll take a Linux-like shape. But K8s gets enough things correct (licensing, api, modularity) that it’ll be hard to replace it wholesale.
