Not working for Google, but I think it's for multiple reasons.
- hardware has gotten a lot faster, which helps the second reason.
- Google giving away free GGC nodes to ISPs (if you meet their requirements). The distribution of these nodes has gotten a lot wider since container days.
- Google is building more smaller scale (a dozen racks or so) traditional data centers closer to ISPs.
I don't think shipping container design was never a very good idea, to begin with - it was an interesting experiment that didn't scale as well as they thought it would.
