 | | Cloud Machine Learning gets to work. | | Cloud Translation and Natural Language APIs GA, GPUs on Compute Engine and the new Jobs API debut. | | | |
| TRENDING | | AI-first is what's next in computing. | | The shift from mobile-first to AI-first is happening. From new, hyper-speed GPUs powering neural networks to integration with cloud storage, compute, and security, artificial intelligence is pushing the envelope. | | The Transition heralds apps that program themselves. | | AI apps get smarter with use. As millions begin to converse with Google Assistant, it may be the first consumer system to mark "The Transition" to apps that better respond to users' needs. | | Help wanted: how the IT skills gap may slow cloud adoption. | | A new study of over 2,500 CIOs and IT execs in 98 countries reveals that as investment in cloud, ML, and AI booms across enterprises, the scarcity of IT talent is a problem. For GCP, new certification programs aim to change that. | | A friendship found in translation. | | When a new student's limited English language skills alienated him from socializing, a California teen used Google Translate to write a note asking him to hang out. | | GCP NEWS | | GPUs on Compute Engine supercharge scientific computing. | | Graphics processing units (GPUs) contain hundreds of times as many computational cores as CPUs. Soon, GCP will let you attach GPUs to your VMs to supercharge performance by tens of teraflops. | | Computer, teach thyself. | | Researchers have announced that Google's DeepMind AI can learn from its own memory—much like the human brain. Similarly, "cloud robotics" lets robots pool experience and learn from each other. | | GCP and Internet2: bringing the cloud to higher education. | | Google has joined non-profit Internet2. Combined with the expansion of GCP's Education Grants, the move will make big data and machine learning more accessible to the over 300 higher ed institutions served by Internet2. | | The one-two punch of Stackdriver and Stackdriver Debugger. | | Stackdriver's new service tiers, pricing, and features bring multi-cloud monitoring to all. Stackdriver Debugger allows engineers to debug production code without stopping apps—or impacting customers. | | Cloud Storage: more for less. | | With new storage tiers and reduced pricing, Cloud Storage has more options for businesses. From highly available, Multi-Regional storage to archival storage with the new Coldline, all share a consistent API and millisecond latency. | | How fast is the world's highest capacity trans-Pacific cable? | | With the largest Internet backbone of any public cloud provider, GCP will add another 12,800 km of undersea cable for the Pacific Light Cable Network (PLCN). And it'll clock speeds up to 120 Tbps. | | RESOURCES | | BigQuery Public Datasets: one-stop shop for geo and climate data. | | New geospatial satellite data from NASA and ESA, and expanded global historical climate data from NOAA are now available for anyone to explore. Play around with them yourself with 1 TB a month in free queries. | | Auto-healing instance groups in a Cloud Platform Minute. | | Compute Engine already offers autoscaling and load balancing—now users can also enable auto-healing instance groups. Learn how to recreate healthy instances of VMs that aren't functioning with just a few clicks. | | KubeCloud: a Kubernetes cluster made visible. | | To help universities keep pace with container innovation, two engineering students created KubeCloud. Their thesis has become a textbook for building a low-cost, small-scale cloud computing environment in a physical cluster. | | A survival guide for containerizing your infrastructure. | | Transitioning from another cloud? Starting a new project and want to kick the tires on Kubernetes? Read how one user cut costs by 75% and made the switch from AWS to GCP in seven days. | | Cloud Shell browser-based code editor. | | Edit code and config files directly in Cloud Shell. Follow this step-by-step tutorial to take the new web-based text editor for a test-drive—or this one to build and launch an ASP.NET Core app without leaving your browser. | | Want to try auto-healing instance groups, the new Cloud Shell code editor, or any GCP service? Go to your console now. | | | |
