    Yes, Kubernetes, in fact, relies on a number of other free and open source software packages. As a base, it relies on the Docker container runtime and the CoreOS Linux distribution, and it utilizes other open source projects for a number of its components, such as etcd for distributed key-value storage. The tool's core and control plane are both built in GO programming language, making it a completely Go-based application. Kubernetes itself is an open source project and has been used as a building block for other open source projects.

  4. gRPC

    The C based gRPC (C++, Python, Ruby, Objective-C, PHP, C#)

    Kubernetes can be thought of as a distributed system for managing containerized applications at large scale. Kubernetes clusters are made up of one or more master nodes that control worker nodes, which run tasks on behalf of clients through API requests sent over HTTP or gRPC protocols.

  5. etcd

    Distributed reliable key-value store for the most critical data of a distributed system
