Contrary to popular belief, k8s is not Google's tech stack. My understanding is that it was initially sold as Google's tech to benefit from Google's tech reputation (exploiting the confusion caused by the fact that some of the original k8s devs where ex-googlers), and today it's also Google trying to pose as k8s inventor, to benefit from its popularity. Interesting case of host/parasite symbiosis, it seams. Just my impression though, I can be wrong, please comment if you know more about the history of k8s. | ||||||||

Is there anyone that works at Google that can confirm this? What's left of Borg at Google? Did the company switch to the open source Kubernetes distribution at any point? I'd love to know more about this as well. > exploiting the confusion caused by the fact that some of the original k8s devs where ex-googlers What about the fact that many active Kubernetes developers, are also active Googlers? | ||||||||
