This post highlights why many start disliking Google - its that vibe of superiority that comes across often. These days Google workload (e.g. qps) isn't that unique anymore... Moving Borg to Kunernetes will eventually happen because it doesnt make sense to help maintain two systems that solve the same problem. And because Kubernetes is open source it will eventually be superior, because of diverse group of contributions.

Huh? How is superiority relevant here? I don’t work at Google (I have in the past) and both systems come out of that company with some of the same people have worked on both. If anything, Google marketing department would probably prefer for people to believe that Kubernetes ~= Borg to help sell GKE, not the other way around. Kubernetes is basically limited to several thousand hosts. That doesn’t even register at Google scale. Other folks do have high QPS systems but none really use Kubernetes to manage the entire cluster; Facebook comes to mind, for example, with an in house system. I would bet against that prediction; I don’t believe such a thing is even on the roadmap internally.
