I was at Google from 2006-2012 and like most Googlers, used Borg extensively. Since leaving, I've been generally impressed by the AWS ecosystem, but have been sorely missing Borg-like functionality. It's felt like the rest of the industry is about 10 years behind where Google is.

I think the crucial question for us is going to be adoption and support within the AWS ecosystem. It checks out (to me at least) as the the technically superior option, but Amazon clearly wants to compete in this space as well and they have the home turf advantage.

like @brendandburns, I just want the best technology to win and become the standard. It would be shame if the Amazon/Google rivalry got in the way of something that important.

Can someone from Amazon chime in on this? Is there anything the Google team could do that would make Kubernetes a neutral project that Amazon would support? I feel that there's a ton of raw knowledge that Google engineers have accumulated on cluster management, and Kubernetes is an opportunity for that not to go to waste.
