 Virtual Kubelet is an open source [Kubernetes kubelet](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubelet/)
 implementation that masquerades as a kubelet for the purposes of connecting Kubernetes to other APIs.
-This allows the nodes to be backed by other services like ACI, AWS Fargate, [IoT Edge](https://github.com/Azure/iot-edge-virtual-kubelet-provider), [Tensile Kube](https://github.com/virtual-kubelet/tensile-kube) etc. The primary scenario for VK is enabling the extension of the Kubernetes API into serverless container platforms like ACI and Fargate, though we are open to others. However, it should be noted that VK is explicitly not intended to be an alternative to Kubernetes federation.

-### Elotl Kip
-
-[Kip](https://github.com/elotl/kip) is a provider that runs pods in cloud instances, allowing a Kubernetes cluster to transparently scale workloads into a cloud. When a pod is scheduled onto the virtual node, Kip starts a right-sized cloud instance for the pod's workload and dispatches the pod onto the instance. When the pod is finished running, the cloud instance is terminated.
-
-When workloads run on Kip, your cluster size naturally scales with the cluster workload, pods are strongly isolated from each other and the user is freed from managing worker nodes and strategically packing pods onto nodes.

Brian Goff	4e399f93b1	Merge pull request #868 from cpuguy83/1.2_fix_missing_stats_route Add GetStatsSummary to PodHandlerConfig	2020-07-30 14:02:41 -07:00
Vilmos Nebehaj	c621acc8d2	Add GetStatsSummary to PodHandlerConfig If both the metrics routes and the pod routes are attached to the same mux with the pattern "/", it will panic. Instead, add the stats handler function to PodHandlerConfig and set up the route if it is not nil.

Thomas Hartland	df16317a89	After handling status update, reset update timer with correct duration If the ping timer is being used, it should be reset with the ping update interval. If the status update interval is used then Ping stops being called for long enough to cause kubernetes to mark the node as NotReady.
