Could you tell us how widely deployed Borg is vs k8s inside of Google? While I was doing research for this piece, I found some folks saying that Google was mostly still on Borg internally, and k8s was only used for a few Google Cloud offerings, but the most recent thing I could find about that was from 2018 and it seemed too out-of-date and questionably sourced to include in the article.

If it's not public, then somebody probably decided that it shouldn't be public, so I don't think I can go into much detail here without asking the mothership for permission. In general however, I would say that we still use Borg for a lot of things. Beyond that, I'm afraid I would have to refer you to Google's rather meager public k8s documentation.

(Note also that journalists can email press@google.com - I have no idea whether they would be willing to answer questions of this nature.)
