Kubernetes is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts. It provides basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications.
Kubernetes builds upon a decade and a half of experience at Google running production workloads at scale using a system called Borg, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.
Kubernetes is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). If your company wants to help shape the evolution of technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically scheduled, and microservices-oriented, consider joining the CNCF. For details about who's involved and how Kubernetes plays a role, read the CNCF announcement.

spruce is a general purpose YAML & JSON merging tool.
It is designed to be an intuitive utility for merging YAML/JSON templates together to generate complicated YAML/JSON config files in a repeatable fashion. It can be used to stitch together some generic/top level definitions for the config and pull in overrides for site-specific configurations to DRY your configs up as much as possible.
spruce is available via Homebrew, just brew tap starkandwayne/cf; brew install spruce
Alternatively, you can download a prebuilt binaries for 64-bit Linux, or Mac OS X
Genesis v2 is the first version of Genesis to fully support BOSH v2. It is primarily geared to deployments that make use of Cloud Config, and Runtime Config. The BOSH v2 CLI is also a requirement of Genesis v2.
Genesis v2 builds upon the previous generation of Genesis, eliminating the vast majority of YAML files all over the place, leading to confusion and questions like "Where do I put property X - properties.yml, networking.yml, or credentials.yml?"
It also supports the next generation of Genesis deployment templates - Kits. In the old genesis, deployment templates were pulled in once, forked from their upstream, and likely never reconciled. With kits, you can keep upgrading the kit, pulling in newer versions of your deployment to make life much easier down the road.
