Google open source projects in general are just shitty. The reason is that they don't open source the whole thing and the code ends up being full of assumptions that don't hold because you are either not running things at google scale or are missing certain key bits of the "secret sauce".

In any event google compute is a terrible user experience compared to the likes of AWS and other cloud providers. Heck, even the shittiest VPS providers tend to be better than google compute. So open sourcing their "secret sauce" as the article puts is still missing key bits so I don't know how many people actually fall for the good will part.
