Google: ‘EVERYTHING at Google Runs in a Container’

Ad giant lifts curtain on how it uses virtualization’s successor TWO BILLION TIMES A WEEK Google is now running “everything” in its mammoth cloud on top of a potential open source successor to virtualization, paving the way for other companies to do the same. Should VMware be worried? Probably not, but the tech pioneered by Google is making inroads into a certain class of technically sophisticated companies. That tech is called Linux Containerization, and is the latest in a long line of innovations meant to make it easier to package up applications and sling them around data centers.
