Kubernetes is actually getting a solid amount of large-tech and early adopter enterprise deployment. That's still pretty nascent, but it's picking up quickly. Happy to discuss in more details offline the adoption we're seeing.

The reason you don't bump into k8s while selling to Hadoop users is that Hadoop isn't something you'd run on a container-based stack (at least not right now and IMO it wont be). There are lots of Hadoop users who run containers for their application infra (as opposed to data infra). Pachyderm's whole pitch is that containerized data infra can be really powerful and that enterprises will want to unify their stack to all be containerized and k8s is THE answer for the orchestration layer.

P.S. Despite all my opinions above, I actually agree with your initial question around who zetcd is actually targeting. I don't have a clear picture of that.

Doesn't Pachyderm predate K8s though? Is this a recent development? Have they shifted focus then?

Sure! Feel free to reach out. I'm just commenting on a wider trend I'm seeing with parallels to the hadoop ecosystem popping up written in go that are container based. I agree you don't tend to run hadoop and co on containers. We tend to see the app side as well though. We do both microservices as well as hadoop infra.
