See how    PLATFORM NEWS Introducing PyTorch for Google Cloud. Launch a PyTorch Deep Learning VM instance to use the same tools as NASA Frontier Development Lab researchers. PyTorch joins other open-source ML frameworks integrated across GCP, including TensorFlow, scikit-learn, and XGBoost. Develop and deploy faster with Cloud Spanner and Cloud Bigtable. Check out updates including enhanced support for SQL data manipulation language for Cloud Spanner, and Key Visualizer, a heatmap tool for Cloud Bigtable that lets you see key access patterns to optimize your schemas. Store it, secure it, back it up: Cloud Storage gets major updates. Take even greater control over how and where your data is stored with enhanced availability, new dual- and multi-regional replication and storage options, and more security, compliance, retention, and key management features. Spinnaker boosts CI/CD support for Kubernetes. Kickstart your continuous integration and continuous delivery pipeline with a range of new features for Kubernetes. Learn to use open-source Spinnaker, developed by Google and Netflix, with our Continuous Delivery to Kubernetes Using Spinnaker codelab. RESOURCES Machine Learning Crash Course: Strategies to spot algorithmic bias in your ML models. With ML, the danger of "garbage in, garbage out" has the potential to impact millions of lives. Learn to balance the scales with our "Fairness" course. AI in motion: designing a simple system to see, understand, and react in the real world. Gather data, choose a model, and use TensorFlow to train a bot to assess its environment and take action in real time. Or just watch it at work. Serverless from the ground up: adding a user interface with Sheets. Learn how to scale a custom content management system using Cloud Functions and Sheets to create a dynamically updated, collaborative user interface. Firewall rules logging: a closer look at our new network compliance and security tool. Track every connection that's been allowed or denied in your VM instances – in near real time – to audit, verify, and analyze the impact of your firewall rules. Google's AI-powered Piano Genie maps 8-button input to a full 88-key piano in real time. Never touched a piano? The AI wizardry behind the deceptively simple Piano Genie lets you play like a pro using just eight numbers on your keyboard. Update embedded devices remotely with fully managed Cloud IoT and open-source Mender. Detect and remediate issues, and address unforeseen customer needs, with Mender, an over-the-air software update management service for IoT devices. The Halite competition returns to teach ML enthusiasts how to design for intelligent machines. Read the rules, then check out the game feed to follow this year's Halite challenge. Warning: Halite III has a branching factor that's many times that of the game of Go.
