Kubernetes' philosophy quite contradicts to OpenBSDs. Also, Kubernetes
builds upon Linux technologies. Porting that stuff alone to OpenBSD
would mean a great deal of work, and again does not really fit OpenBSDs
developers ideas. The resources of OpenBSD is just a tiny fraction of
that of kubernetes alone, so in my opinion and probably in theirs also
they should keep doing what they have done for a long time and what they
are good at: focus on OpenBSDs development (and of course their other
projects!). The good part: anyone interested in that could just grab the
source and start hacking together Kubernetes for OpenBSD, though that
work is probably overwhelming.

Being a heavy kubernetes user myself I would not choose OpenBSD in order
to run kubernetes, because I choose OpenBSD for different
reasons/requirements. What's the sense of simply putting tremendous
effort in copying a solution that is already out there, noone wants
OpenBSD to become a Linux-clone, it would be wasted energy. A metaphor:
while both systems are a kind of mobile housing, I do not want my
lightweight trekking tent to become a mongolian yurt overnight.

Hello,

I am a BSD user and also a user of kubernetes.
It seems the BSD community has no much interest in docker/k8s integration.
Is it true? and why?

Thanks.
