Unfortunately we can't discuss the parts of Google's platform that aren't in Kubernetes on this forum. If we could, I think I could defend my statement reasonably well. But perhaps you just don't think that the pieces I would mention qualify as interesting.
go/-link or it didn't happen.
well my secret document says you're wrong and i'm right.

Partial information is better than none.

aphorism rejoinder:
disinformation is worse than no information.
This is not true. It throws out the Google-specific parts of Borg (like integration with Google's service discovery, load balancing, and monitoring systems) and improves a number of things compared to Borg. For a good reference on the evolution of Borg into Kubernetes, I recommend the recent Kubernetes Podcast interview with Brian Grant: https://kubernetespodcast.com/episode/043-borg-omega-kuberne...
> Google themselves don't use it
This is not true, and the reasons why it hasn't replaced Borg are related to the integrations I mentioned above (which will take time to integrate or replace) and the zillions of lines of borg config that have built up over the years, rather than concerns that people outside of Google would have (production-worthiness, reliability, etc.)
(Disclaimer: I worked on Borg at Google, and now work on Kubernetes at Google.)
