Google keeps saying that Kubernetes is a real world, κυβερνήτης, Greek for "helmsman" or "pilot" or "governor"[0][1], but its predecessor was called Borg, so in my mind, the true meaning of "Kubernetes" was always "a network of (Borg) cubes".

This way, I've already seen on TV what "Human Kubernetes" looks like. Resistance is futile.
