people were using Borg, and some of the issues it had with extensibility and scalability, and addressing some use cases better. And that motivated the Omega project, which was really a project trying to figure out how we could improve some of the underlying primitives and internal infrastructure in Borg. : One of the big issues was that Borg-- Master, in particular, the control plane of Borg-- was not designed to have an extensible concept space. It had a very limited, fixed number of concepts that had machines, jobs-- tasks weren't even really a first class concept. Just arrays of tasks, which were jobs. 参考 Kubernetes Podcast 「Borg, Omega, Kubernetes and Beyond, with Brian Grant」 https://kubernetespodcast.com/episode/043-borg-omega-kubernetes-beyond/ The master is the kernel of a distributed system. Borgmaster was originally designed as a monolithic system, but over time, it became more of a kernel sitting at the heart of an ecosystem of services that cooperate to manage user jobs. For example, we split off the scheduler and the primary UI (Sigma) into separate processes, and added services for admission control, vertical and horizontal autoscaling, re-packing tasks, periodic job submission (cron), workflow management, and archiving system actions for off-line querying. Together, these have allowed us to scale up the workload and feature set without sacrificing performance or maintainability. 参考 Large-scale cluster management at Google with Borg」 https://research.google/pubs/pub43438/ 「Large-scale cluster management at Google with Borg」より
