Ehm, that is simply not true. Google built it for themselves first. It is essentially the open source version of the internal architecture. It gets used.

I worked at google. k8s does not really look at all like what they used internally when I was there, aside from sharing some similar looking building blocks.

Yeah, but is the internal tool simpler? I'd be surprised.

Also Amazon definitely uses k8s for stuff.

Teams are free to use EKS internally.
