Instead of the new Application Server, Kubernetes is the new OpenStack. A conglomeration of projects that support a platform for deploying and operating software in containers or virtual machines. Just like OpenStack, some of the components deal with storage, others with networking, and others still with service discovery or proxying.

Without getting too far into semantics, I think the author is using a well overloaded terminology. When I hear Application Server, I immediately think tomcat or some other jvm.
