Kubernetes was first launched in the repo: <a href="https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes</a>.<p>It doesn’t use docker as container runtime. And also the pods were also called `tasks`.<p>From: <a href="https://github.com/boddumanohar/kubernetes-first-commit/blob/first-commit/api/kubernetes.raml" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/boddumanohar/kubernetes-first-commit/blob...</a><p>```
The Kubernetes API currently manages 3 main resources: tasks, replicationControllers, and services. Tasks correspond to colocated groups of [Docker containers](<a href="http://docker.io/" rel="nofollow">http://docker.io/</a>) with shared volumes, as supported by [Google Cloud Platform’s container-vm images](<a href="https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/containers" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/containers</a>) . Singleton tasks can be created directly via the /tasks endpoint. Sets of tasks may created, maintained, and scaled using replicationControllers. Services create load-balanced targets for sets of tasks.
