I don't think Apple has the kind of technical know-how's that Google has. Google develops their own tools to support their infrastructure; Apple is narrowly focused on a few areas in product/services, namely mobile and desktop, only and buys off the shelf-ware for everything else, from storage (EMC Isilon), to OS (Redhat Linux), to orchestration/mgmt (Mesos), etc, etc...
