Then perhaps you could ask John Wilkes ;)

later edit: I'm referring to the fact that when Kubernetes came out it didn't have resource allocation and the answer to "how it compares to Mesos" was that it would run on top of Mesos as a framework.

John Wilkes gave a talk about Kubernetes at MesosCon in 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQAAkO5B5Hg and also answered the above question quite a bit while there...

Kubernetes was not designed with the intention that it would be a Mesos framework. But I think it's very cool that people figured out how to make it work as one!

From pre-1.0, Kubernetes did resource allocation for CPU and memory via its cluster-level scheduler, enforced on the node using the standard container isolation mechanisms provided by Docker.

Disclosure: I work on Kubernetes at Google.
