I run into kubernetes a week ago. Found out this: https://www.udacity.com/course/scalable-microservices-with-k...

Sounds pretty interesting, especially all the part about service discovery & node health/replacement.

Anyone using it for production?

We (Google) are :-)

Otherwise, there's a list at http://kubernetes.io/community/, including: New York Times, eBay, Wikimedia Foundation, Box, Soundcloud, Viacom, and Goldman Sachs, to name a few.

Duh, that's a nice list of references. I'll try to get trough the documentations and tutorial. It seems to solve a lot of troubles when we (normal people) have to deal when deploying docker container (in aws for example). Among others service discovery and health of nodes.

Don't you guys use Borg that I don't know how close to kubernetes?

This course is cringeworthily shallow. Short videos that don't go into details 'why' stuff happens. and people screaming 'WOW this is sooo useful' all the time without explainin why it's useful.

I didn't find that Udacity course all that helpful. Especially toward the end, where it could really shed some light on the actually advanced Kube topics, the videos shorten to 60 seconds each and he just glosses over topics without any explanation why they matter.

after have seeing the whole course it lacks of the details. however, i think it's enough to get a glimpse of the tool and benefits. I don't think you can learn kubernetes and docker in less than 60 min.
