Not a google dev but I looked closely at K8s in the early days .. in my personal opinion, I think it is complete fiction that K8s was Google opensourcing their actual code (in the traditional way). I think they rewrote the bulk of the initial code drop.
So agreed that K8s is not Google's crown jewels by any stretch. They were inspired by the Borg paper I'm guessing though the early scheduler in K8s was laughable IIRC.
- jeffbee 6y agoThis is confirmed by K8s/Borg devs on blogs and Twitter. k8s shares not one line of code with Borg. One easy way to tell is every line of Borg is in C++ and every line of k8s is Go. This thread is a pretty good explanation of how k8s is derived from the need to be compatible with some Borg concepts, while not deriving from Borg itself. https://twitter.com/bgrant0607/status/1131202013411176448 https://twitter.com/bgrant0607/status/1131202013411176448
