It isn't clear afaik. Maybe i'd like this as an alternative to CoreOS or whatever for my k8s nodes?
EDIT: Good point, you're right, it has no init system etc and is meant to be used in a container. Point conceded :)

On GKE, one advantage of using Ubuntu as the node OS is you can get access to Sysdig or OpenEBS.
Thinking about it - with Linux KSM the overhead of full-fat containers based on Ubuntu (for example) isn't massive. We may have to look at the metrics I reckon.
