does anyone know if Google Compute Engine also had to do unplanned reboots to patch the recent xen vulnerability, like AWS and Rackspace etc did? I did not hear anything about it. Does google use Xen or something homegrown?
I my mind, googles' infrastructure being so different from all the others in its internal functioning is one of their primary differentiators.
