 Kubernetes is a portable, extensible, open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services, that facilitates both declarative configuration and automation. It has a large, rapidly growing ecosystem. Kubernetes services, support, and tools are widely available.
 
-The name Kubernetes originates from Greek, meaning helmsman or pilot. Google open-sourced the Kubernetes project in 2014. Kubernetes builds upon a [decade and a half of experience that Google has with running production workloads at scale](https://ai.google/research/pubs/pub43438), combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.

 Let's take a look at why Kubernetes is so useful by going back in time.

 * Dev and Ops separation of concerns: create application container images at build/release time rather than deployment time, thereby decoupling applications from infrastructure.
 * Observability not only surfaces OS-level information and metrics, but also application health and other signals.
 * Environmental consistency across development, testing, and production: Runs the same on a laptop as it does in the cloud.
-* Cloud and OS distribution portability: Runs on Ubuntu, RHEL, CoreOS, on-prem, Google Kubernetes Engine, and anywhere else.
+* Cloud and OS distribution portability: Runs on Ubuntu, RHEL, CoreOS, on-premises, on major public clouds, and anywhere else.
 * Application-centric management: Raises the level of abstraction from running an OS on virtual hardware to running an application on an OS using logical resources.
 * Loosely coupled, distributed, elastic, liberated micro-services: applications are broken into smaller, independent pieces and can be deployed and managed dynamically – not a monolithic stack running on one big single-purpose machine.
 * Resource isolation: predictable application performance.
