Rob Pike interview

This sounds like him trying to do PR to get everyone thinking everyone else is already doing it so they try to catch up. Act like something is true to make it true when everyone jumps on the bandwagon.

Through kube and terraform? Are there other major tools?

A few fellow OpenStack developers and I half-jokingly suggested we rewrite some or all the services in Go. Python gets to be a bit hard to deal with at that scale.

What are the chances of Rust or another language coming to the fore for cloud infra?

What a wild generalization. I skimmed the article, and I see his point in "Go was designed by people working at Google to make it easier to write Google-relevant software, in particular network-resident servers", but that doesn't mean Docker and Kubernetes (and other tools that enable communicating with/usage of cloud infrastructure) being written in Go made it become the de-facto standard, and especially not "the language of cloud infrastructure". What about ALL the other components NOT written in Go?

Because of kubernetes, the "language" of cloud infrastructure is YAML...
