No. They use Azure.
That's what the Pentagon said ๐
Itโs actually not that straightforward to answer. The products we have internally map well to the products we offer through GCP, but theyโre backed by more powerful infrastructure and different resource types. The thought being there may be no other company in existence today with qps nearing things like google search, so clearly custom solutions are needed somewhere.
It is not as much a matter of "more powerful infrastructure" but more so the fact that everything is tightly coupled together by design, in the similar sense of Steve Yegge's google+ rant.
Lol, poor Cruise boy ๐
I do not know about the status right now, but Nest was using AWS for a long time after acquisition because of transition difficulties and the fact that GCP was not ready for their heavy data load. Kaggle was using azure at the time of acquisition, but they probaby have moved to GCP by now.
nest is fully migrated to gcp.
Waze is using AWS
As far as I know, they don't, at least the big products don't, like Google Search, Gmail, G-Suite, YouTube ... etc
You can't just use broad strokes like that... YouTube does for a few things little storage. Think about it, each of those products are gonna have diff teams for things like storage, DNS and other networking, DDOS mitigation, CDN, etc. It's not like each of these teams collectively make the decision to not use GCP... They just move onto it as business needs require
That's the excuse they have been using for a decade, it doesn't work anymore, if your own cloud services are not running on your cloud platform that's a big problem, you can claim all you want that it depends on business or whatever lame excuse it is, it will still sound that you don't trust your own platform enough
This is a stupid question. Of course. Layer 7 SDN networking, Cdn, Borg and such are all google cloud products that are released as GCP.
This is not a stupid question - the answer could conceivably be 'no'
When I worked there, everyone used internal counterparts of their GCP tools (Borg instead of Kubernetes and other examples). Some engineers wondered wtf and agreed that this segregation was stupid. But I don't know if anyone applied any effort to switch internal tools to GCP. I only remember they started to support Cloud BigQuery for the internal data storage, but I don't know how this initiative ended.
Magic Leap, you guys still in business!
Yep! Still kicking!
Kicking or ticking!
No. We're too invested in legacy systems. Some stuff that doesn't matter runs on GCP, to everyone else GCP is a foreign world
We donโt trust GCP enough to run our Search, Ads and YouTube on it. Those three cover 90%+ of Google revenues
So what do you use then? Don't tell me AWS or Azure.
This is insightful. Thanks for sharing. Makes that plan to have GCP in top 2 seem less than likely to happen.
Yes. Why though?
