- justicezyx 7y agoNah, Borg as a cluster manager way cooler and appropriate than Borg the backup utility.
- altgoogler 7y agoGoogler here. Borg @ Google predates Borg the backup utility by several years.
- Youden 7y agoBecause I was curious: - The Borg are a fictional race of aliens in Star Trek: Next Generation. They were first shown on TV in 1989. This appears to be the basis for the software projects' naming. - Borg, Google's cluster management system, was introduced at some point prior to 2006 (per [0], published in 2016, which states Borg was introduced "over a decade ago"). - Borg the backup system was forked from Attic in 2015 [1] [0]: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/gcp/from-google-to-the-world-the-kubernetes-origin-story https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/gcp/from-google-to-th...
