You cannot have both an organization that fastidiously protects the privacy and security of user data, and one that requires no process to build and launch software. It's just not possible.
Anyway the video is just a joke. I've never worked anywhere where it was as easy to just serve 5TB of static data as at Google. Googlers who want to just host junk under their own authority do not need to shop for quota, set up borgmon, etc.
Right like looking back, they're setting up a production, user facing service. If I want to just store a 5tb blob somewhere, I think that fits in freebie CNS, so I don't even have to provision resources, I just cat the file or whatever (granted, 5tb was a bit bigger 10 years ago).
Having a rule that "your user-facing service needs to be replicated" is a good rule. Replication being difficult was the problem.
