Google Cloud could have easily dominated the market if they were willing to share their internal technology instead of knock-offs they offered. Now it's too late, competition improved their mediocre offerings and outside TPUs there is no advantage anymore.
- codingslave 7y agoFrom what I have heard, a ton of google internal infrastructure is actually aging and not as nimble by todays standards. It was innovative in 2010, but has been largely commoditized.
- bitL 7y agoMy point was that had they initially released cloud based on what they had at the time, AWS would have had a very hard time competing. These days as you mentioned their competitors moved on and even K8S is surpassing Borg in some ways.
- yjftsjthsd-h 7y agoIt was my impression that the publicly-released versions are better than the originals. It's not that k8s is a knock-off of borg; k8s is a sort of borg 2.0, etc. Am I mistaken?
- justincormack 7y agoKubernetes still runs on top of Borg on GCP.
