Found the resource I was thinking of:

- https://www.usenix.org/conference/lisa13/managing-macs-googl...

Unfortunately that was 2013, and https://github.com/google/macops only has a couple commits, so those devops processes are likely very outdated.

The mailing list is dead, but as of mid-2017 this statement was made:

> The main google/macops project is still alive, but there is more development currently going on in the other projects we link to (like santa).

> We still use puppet, as do our Linux and Windows fleet, but none of us actually use puppet infrastructure. We are all working with a standalone (masterless) model.

santa seems to be the only actively-developed macOS management tool on the google github profile, but other tools listed in the talk are actively developed (puppet of course, munki, etc)
