Which gcp services run directly on borg? My understanding is at least bigtable, cloud sql and other dbs are within “hidden” VMs. I think loadbalancers and storage are exceptions but same is true for aws (except the classic elb probably)

Bigtable, Firestore and Spanner run directly on Borg.

Cloud SQL V2 runs in hidden VMs.

Are those not internal services that pre-date GCP that are exposed externally _through_ GCP?

Other thing AWS has going in its favor is the rest of Amazon uses AWS versus at Google, none of their flagship services run on GCP (though I think YouTube is moving, which is good).

The rest of amazon doesn’t run on aws in its entirety afaik. Also not sure it’s necessarily a good thing either.
