Today we have the incredible honor to interview John Wilkes, Principle Engineer at Google and co-author of the Borg paper, about the history of Borg and how Kubernetes came to be.

And guess what, Mark is very excited! Francesc is excited too, though.

John Wilkes has been at Google since 2008, where he is working on cluster management and infrastructure services. Before that, he spent a long time at HP Labs, becoming an HP and ACM Fellow in 2002. He is interested in far too many aspects of distributed systems, but a recurring theme has been technologies that allow systems to manage themselves.

In his spare time he continues, stubbornly, trying to learn how to blow glass.
