Google creates a mirror for the Linux kernel on its servers

Google and Linux

Everyone knows that the servants of Google are among the most powerful on the planet, so much so that even having recently launched such a demanding service as Drive You can still afford to give away some of that power to projects that are not necessarily part of your business model.

On this occasion, the company of Mountain View has announced the creation on its servers of a mirror for kernel de Linux that is hosted in git.kernel.org. The new mirror can be located at https://kernel.googlesource.com/ and will benefit users of Linux with the same infrastructure that is already used to distribute the source code of AndroidWhich serves more than 1 Terabyte of information daily and attends 2.5 million requests.

El mirror it is also supported by multiple datacenters located in Asia, the United States and Europe to ensure fast access from anywhere in the world.

This is the way you have Google to thank a project that has helped you a lot because it is the basis of your operating systems Android y Chrome OS and quite possibly from their own servers; and although it is true that Google, like any other company, many things can be attributed to him, it is also worth noting when he performs an altruistic act in favor of our beloved penguin.

      Neither do I, although it must be recognized that it is one of the few companies that pay attention to this platform, and even though it is no longer so Don't be evil as it seemed at first, he still has his lapses of generosity.

      Use everything that can become profitable; that is the position that any company has with any thing, person, product or food. Everything else, colors, logo, mission, vision, etc ... is "verse".
