Another way of looking at things

Post by sharminsumu86 »

The Core, too, will be divided into different algorithms and functions, but with one big goal: to control the rest.


As strange as it may seem, I find it illuminating to think of Google as the Borg from Star Trek. You'll see that it's a good comparison.

For the poor souls who don't know, the Borg Collective is a species composed of individual drones, connected and controlled by a global system, who are busy operating the Borg Cubes (their ships) and subjugating other species. And then there is the Queen (the Core in our scenario) who controls and coordinates all of this. This is done automatically and over south africa telegram number database vast distances thanks to the communication systems built into each drone and their Cubes.

In fact, a queen must watch over all the parts and make them work in unison. Like an anthill. Like the Google Core.

A fun fact about Google/Borg
I said above that this comparison has a good reason to be. Indeed, Google has a large-scale cluster management system called — you guessed it — Borg . It "...runs hundreds of thousands of tasks, from thousands of different applications, on a number of clusters, each comprising up to tens of thousands of machines."

Additionally, some people at Google left to get into the microservices space and create a technology to connect different services into a coherent application. They codenamed this system "Project 7", after the famous Borg character from Star Trek "7 of 9" that was under development, and although I'm not sure, I think I know why the name of this product (Kubernetes) starts with "Kube"...
