    Needless etymology:

    Kubernetes is Greek for captain (in the boatsman way).

    It is also the etymological base for governor, through Latin gubernarorem).

      OI WOTS AWL DIS DEN, GUVNAH?

      No, it’s Kubernetes.

      Edit: Also, that etymology explains the strange adjectival form, gubernatorial, for governor races.
