Kubernetes is an open source system for managing [containerized applications]
2018-01-23 16:16:37 +00:00
across multiple hosts; providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance,
2017-03-06 17:21:47 +00:00
and scaling of applications.

Kubernetes builds upon a decade and a half of experience at Google running
production workloads at scale using a system called [Borg],
combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.

Kubernetes is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation ([CNCF]).
If you are a company that wants to help shape the evolution of
technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically-scheduled
and microservices-oriented, consider joining the CNCF.
For details about who's involved and how Kubernetes plays a role,
read the CNCF [announcement].

## To start developing Kubernetes
2015-08-31 20:53:32 +00:00
2017-03-06 17:21:47 +00:00
The [community repository] hosts all information about
building Kubernetes from source, how to contribute code
and documentation, who to contact about what, etc.
2016-12-15 14:06:11 +00:00
If you want to build Kubernetes right away there are two options:
2017-03-06 17:21:47 +00:00
##### You have a working [Go environment].
2016-12-15 14:06:11 +00:00
```
$ go get -d k8s.io/kubernetes
$ cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kubernetes
$ make
```
2017-03-06 17:21:47 +00:00
##### You have a working [Docker environment].
2016-12-15 14:06:11 +00:00
```
$ git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
$ cd kubernetes
$ make quick-release
```
