Kubernetes对Docker的管理是通过一个第三方组件实现的。在Kubernetes1.2中这个第三方组件就是go-dockerclient,这是一个GO语言写的docker客户端,支持Docker remote API,这个项目在https://github.com/fsouza/go-dockerclient中;在Kubernetes1.3中直接使用docker公司提供的client来实现,通过这个client可以实现同Docker Deamon之间的通讯,这个客户端项目在https://github.com/docker/engine-api/中,感兴趣的话可以去看看。
下面是Docker版本同API版本对应关系:

下面表格第一列是Docker官网上API 1.24版本,第二列是API使用方式,第三列是Kubernetes1.2中使用到的Docker API,第四列是Kubernetes1.3中使用到的Docker API,从这个列表就可以看到kuberneters13都调用了哪些Docker API接口,以及可以实现Docker哪些功能。

从表格中可以看到,Kubernetes1.3中调用了Docker的Get the history of an image接口,调用这个接口的目的是获取镜像的详细历史信息。
另外从表格中可以看到,Kubernetes没有使用到Docker的网络接口,也没有使用到Docker的卷接口,原因是Kubernetes自己定义了Service和POD,自己实现了POD之间的网络和挂载到POD上的卷。
从表格中也可以看到,Kubernetes对Docker容器的管理只有很少的功能,甚至都没有使用到Docker的重启接口,还是因为Kubernetes自己定义的POD,Kubernetes以POD为基本操作单元,而且是Kubernetes从容器集群管理角度设计的,所以不存在对POD里面单个Docker容器的重启操作。
那么我们可以用下面这张图来把POD和容器之间的关系形象化,此图仅供说明问题时的参考,并无实际意义。
我们可以把POD看作是机器里面的操作系统,把容器看作是里面的进程,在操作系统内部进程间是可以通过IPC(Inter-Process Communication)进行通讯的,不同操作系统之间的进程是通过操作系统IP和端口进行通讯的,那么对应到POD和容器,就变成了POD内部容器间事可以通过IPC(Inter-Process Communication)进行通讯的,不同POD之间的容器是通过POD IP和端口进行通讯的。从集群的角度来考虑问题,Kubernetes基本操作单元是POD,不需要关注到POD中的容器,那么我们可以想象一下,如果我们要按照虚拟机的使用方式来使用容器,那样的话应该如何使用Kubernetes呢?可以看下面的图:
这样我们就实现了像虚拟机那样使用容器,我们可以认为POD就是一个虚拟机,只不过在这个虚拟机中只有一个容器。但是如果要对这个虚拟机进行操作的时候我们发现问题来了,从前面的表格中可以看到,Kubernetes对Docker容器的管理只有很少的功能,没有使用到Docker的重启接口,但是如果把容器当作虚拟机用,必然要使用重启功能,抛开Kubernetes的设计理念,我们自己可以扩展Kubernetes对POD重启的实现,实现把容器当作虚拟机来使用的需求。
