As a Xoogler I'd say that Kubernetes is harder to use than Google's internal equivalents. It may not be harder to run, but that doesn't matter inside of Google unless you're on the teams responsible for the base layers.
My point is, Kubernetes isn't really "made for Google level complexity" - Google only uses it for a handful of cloud products, internal research stuff and not much else.

- zikduruqe 4y agoIt's a ninja smoke bomb to distract the tech world into thinking we are cool like Google.
- eadmund 4y agoI've long wondered if K8s is really a dastardly scheme to hold back the industry …
- amannm 4y agoTo loosen up AWS-entrenched customers and their much more varied use-cases, probably.
- tazjin 4y agoIt's basically impossible to release this kind of internal tooling due to the way Google works. You'd have to rewrite it, or open-source essentially the entire foundation, and Google probably doesn't want to do either.
