How Google does ops

2010: In the beginning

I joined Google to work on Maps.

C++ engineer and Borg user.

Borg high-level architecture

Cell is typically 10K servers.

Cluster is one or more cells in a single data center.

Borg high-level architecture

job hello = { runtime = { cell = "ic" } binary = '../hello_webserver' args = { port = '%port%' } requirements = { RAM = 100M disk = 100M CPU = 0.1 } replicas = 10000}

Borg high-level architecture

Kubernetes, but maximise utilization.

A key difference is priority, quota and chargeback.

Developer experience

Microservices and testing culture is amazing

Microservices and testing culture is amazing

… but learning curve is steep

… and it’s easy to start cargo culting!

A Google internal meme on Borg

“Borg Kubernetes makes it very hard to run one of something, and very easy to

run 10,000 of something.”

2015: Culture shock!

2017: Community, storage

“Success, we moved everything to Docker

containers!

*Except legacy stateful apps”

2018: Joined CNCF

..so what does the

CNCF actually do?

Consider how you use projects

• Sandbox: lots of debugging, incomplete docs

• Incubation: understand the business value first

• Graduated: case studies and managed services

© 2018 Cloud Native Computing Foundation25

Challenges in 2019

• Increasing options => increasing complexity

• Storage, security, serverless

• Industry-specific best practices

• Best practices for open source programs

• Recruiting
