My (uninformed) understanding was that Google use(d) Borg [1] and that Kubernetes was a re-invention of that for ooen source release.<p>[1] <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg_(cluster_manager)" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg_(cluster_manager)</a>
Anything that Google runs on Google Cloud - acquisitions, corp workloads - uses Kubernetes.<p>Orbitera was an acquisition who ported to Google Cloud.

They use Borg for almost everything which is mind boggling. They don't dog food pretty much anything which is probably why their products are so shitty.
