I recently gave a talk to the Philly Linux User Group regarding the internal workings of Google’s infrastructure. The slides are available. The presentation was created with S5 so all that’s required to view them is a relatively recent browser.

The talk was pretty well received. I was somewhat surprised at the interest in the material. I have never worked for Google, so I got all my information from their own papers and various other Internet sources. A considerable amount of knowledge is available just at their Google Labs paper index, although they seem to have pared it down in size recently.
