The container orchestrator landscape

My memory is a little feint after 15 years, but I seem to recall a handful of binaries (no more than 4) that could be manually provisioned on a desktop over lunch using a few kilobyte-sized argvs. That has not been my experience of k8s at all, Borg was a much tidier system that had (at least at that stage) not yet succumbed to enterprization or excessive modularity.
