Google 101

Google folks are offering a class in UWashington - CSE 490h: Problem-solving on large-scale clusters: theory and applications.

What we study in the distributed systems classes is quite basic, and bit outdated compared to Google like infrastructure. This class might be pretty useful for people developing large scale cluster systems.

Also, see this talk on Google Cluster covering GFS, MapReduce, Sawzall and BigTable.

Thanks to Greg for all the pointers[1][2].
