K8s forced industry to have a consistent open cluster API that will drive innovation and competition.

We can have multiple implementations of the same API, but what I am seeing currently from the "commercial" vendors is the base K8s with UI changes. I hope we will have multiple implementations of the spec. The specs also have to evolve with time.

Last decade, systemd had its fair share of criticism. But it provided a consistent API to run "Compute Units" locally. K8s can benefit from the same principles to manage "Compute Pods" across the cluster. The concepts of promise theory [1] provide interesting control loop co-ordination.

I'm quite confident that one day kubernetes will make use of systemd-nspawn. Let's see... :)
