Google runs NOTHING on Docker. They have their internal secret proprietary container technology.

The concept of containers is fine. The troubles lies in the implementation that is available.

Google does publish https://github.com/google/lmctfy at least, though.

Edit: did publish

You realize that the first line of the README says that this project is obsolete and they stopped developing it?

The line before that says they working on taking those learnings into libcontainer.

Meaning it's not done, it's work in progress, that will take a while.

They don't use Docker outside Cloud, true, but their container technology is the same as what Docker uses: cgroups. Brought to you by a couple of Google dudes a decade ago.
