My thesis: Something like Borg or Kubernetes works super well inside a company like Google where you can dictate software architecture design requirements to developers.

Adoption in the broader ecosystem where you can’t is far more fraught.

Please call me an idiot in reply.

Ergo, the entire kubernetes movement + the CNCF is Google’s attempt to make the entire industry more Googley.

Cynically, so people build things that run passably on GCP.
