There was a great talk by John Wilkes (Google Cluster Management) re: Omega in 2011 at Google Faculty Summit [1]. Absolutely fascinating to see the scope of the problems they are dealing with.

Edit: remove error in my comment re: borg/omega order.
- nostrademons 12y agoOmega actually comes after Borg (hence the name). It's just that Borg was quite confidential until now. I'm pretty surprised they let the name slip.
- WestCoastJustin 12y agoAh, thanks! Updated my comment.
- tonfa 12y agoThe name was public since Omega was publicized. The paper itself is great, there's everything about Borg in one place (scheduling, quota, isolation, etc).
- tonfa 12y agoIt is the other way: Omega was presented as the successor of Borg.
- sylvinus 12y agoIf you want to see an up-to-date talk about this from John, he will be a speaker at http://dotscale.io http://dotscale.io on June 8!
