Which most complex technology is these days, even the most impactful. Docker is a fancy wrapper around Linux cgroups, Kubernetes combines that with etcd, and stuff like AWS EKS combines that with hypervisors (which I think were based on Linux KVM for a long time).
I think the fact that it's chunks of exist and work plugged together is what makes it so impressive to me in the sense that it means that we're actually building somewhat reusable modular architecture for doing this that people can actually repeat and build on separately and so on. And thanks for the future, I think. Also, I have to say, excellent article.
