I left years ago and there were serious services using Autopilot. The name is no longer secret, see https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/44095 https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/44095 or Tim Hockin's slides from two years ago, where he revealed that 2/3 of Borg users rely on it: https://speakerdeck.com/thockin/everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-resource-scheduling-dot-dot-dot-almost https://speakerdeck.com/thockin/everything-you-ever-wanted-t...
- h4b4n3r0 8y agoThe slide merely says "most Borg users use Autopilot", which could easily be true. Heck, I used it myself for non-production batch jobs. Those jobs were run as me. Any engineer at Google can spin up a job, and I'd venture to guess that most of them run at least something there every now and then. That's ~40k logical "users" as of 2018. The interesting question (which I admit I don't know the answer to as of today) is whether users that run search, ads, spanner, bigtable, and other shared service behemoths use Autopilot. FWIW my team did not use it at all.
