Anything that Google runs on Google Cloud - acquisitions, corp workloads - uses Kubernetes.

Orbitera was an acquisition who ported to Google Cloud. I talked to them on the Kubernetes Podcast: https://kubernetespodcast.com/episode/147-service-level-obje...

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.
