Which gcp services run directly on borg? My understanding is at least bigtable, cloud sql and other dbs are within “hidden” VMs. I think loadbalancers and storage are exceptions but same is true for aws (except the classic elb probably)

An AWS engineer talks about this here: https://twitter.com/rakyll/status/1415170934609121285?s=20 https://twitter.com/rakyll/status/1415170934609121285?s=20

Other thing AWS has going in its favor is the rest of Amazon uses AWS versus at Google, none of their flagship services run on GCP (though I think YouTube is moving, which is good).

  The rest of amazon doesn’t run on aws in its entirety afaik. Also not sure it’s necessarily a good thing either.

Bigtable, Firestore and Spanner run directly on Borg. Cloud SQL V2 runs in hidden VMs.

  Are those not internal services that pre-date GCP that are exposed externally _through_ GCP?
