K8s does not scale. Especially not to "Google scale".
First step to "be like Google" would be to ditch all that (docker-like) "container" madness and just compile static binaries. Than use something like Mesos to distribute workloads. Build literally everything as custom made on purpose solutions, and avoid mostly anything off the shelf.
"Being like Google" means not using any third party cloud stuff, but build your own in-house.
But this advice wouldn't sell GCP accounts. So Google does not tell you that. They telling you instead some marketing balderdash "how to be like Google".
They never did, they won't ever do that!
