While the wording in the article is over the top, I think it’s getting at a concept of a near stateless web-app unit that runs with some RAM, some sockets, stdout/stderr for logging, and a static set of files. In that sense the app needs only a few of the other parts of the OS, benefits from minimalism, while Kubernetes becomes much more interesting to the web app developer, hosting copies of this in some distributed manner across a cluster.

Certainly some parts of the world are trying to make this the future anyway, though there’s a lot of room for misgivings (being a distributed system is hell)
