An Oral History of the Kubernetes Revolution with Brian Grant
Kubernetes isn’t just a platform—it’s a revolution. On this episode of Fork Around and Find Out, Justin and Autumn sit down with Kubernetes co-creator Brian Grant to explore the origins of this game-changing technology. From Google’s internal tooling to the cloud-native juggernaut it is today, Brian takes us behind the scenes of Kubernetes’ evolution, including its roots in Borg and the creation of CNCF.
Brian also opens up about his fascinating career, from debugging GPUs at PeakStream to improving Google’s threading systems. Along the way, he shares his candid thoughts on Terraform, GitOps, and the future of infrastructure management. We’re talking insider stories, tech critiques, and the cyclical nature of trends like AI—all packed into one unmissable episode.
Brian is a visionary who’s shaped the cloud-native ecosystem as we know it. We can’t wait for you to hear his story and insights!

Featured PRs
129119: Fix PodTopologySpread matching pods counts for constraints with the same topologyKey
This PR addresses a bug in the Kubernetes scheduler where constraints sharing the same topologyKey could incorrectly overwrite each other’s results. By updating the PodTopologySpread plugin to index data structures by constraint, it isolates each constraint’s results. Additionally, replacing a map with a slice in the PreFilter stage significantly improves scheduling throughput for pods with topology spreading, boosting performance by up to 25% on large clusters. This change ensures more accurate scheduling and better resource distribution across nodes.
