Cloud Wisdom Weekly: 5 Ways To Reduce Costs With Containers

“Cloud Wisdom Weekly: for tech companies and startups” is a new blog series we’re running this fall to answer common questions our tech and startup customers ask us about how to build apps faster, smarter, and cheaper. In this installment, Google Cloud Product Manager Rachel Tsao explores how to save on compute costs with modern container platforms. Many tech companies and startups are built to operate under a certain degree of pressure and to efficiently manage costs and resources. These pressures have only increased with inflation, geopolitical shifts, and supply chain concerns, however, creating urgency for companies to find ways to preserve capital while…

Google Kubernetes Engine: 7 Years And 7 Amazing Benefits

Today, as we celebrate seven years of general availability of the most automated and scalable managed Kubernetes, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), we present seven of the common ways that GKE helps customers do amazing things. Accelerates productivity of developers Developer time is at a premium. GKE provides a rich set of integrated tools to help you ship faster and more often. The practice of continuous integration (CI) allows developers to frequently integrate all their code changes back into a main branch, exposing failures faster by revealing issues as early as possible in the process. A CI pipeline typically produces an…

Why Automation And Scalability Are The Most Important Traits Of Your Kubernetes Platform

Today’s consumers expect incredible feats of speed and service delivered through easy-to-use apps and personalized interactions. Modern conveniences have taught consumers that their experience is paramount—no matter the size of the company, complexity of the problem, or regulations in the industry. “Cloud-native technologies empower organizations to build and run scalable applications in modern, dynamic environments such as public, private, and hybrid clouds. Containers, service meshes, microservices, immutable infrastructure, and declarative APIs exemplify this approach. These techniques enable loosely coupled systems that are resilient, manageable, and observable. Combined with robust automation, they allow developers to make high-impact changes frequently and predictably…

IP Masquerading And EBPF Are Now In GKE Autopilot

So you’re deploying Kubernetes and you’ve been ready-to-go with your containerized applications. But one problem you’ve faced is IP exhaustion across your diverse environments and your clusters need to talk to your on-prem clusters or hosts. Or maybe your workloads talk to a service that expects only RFC 1918 addresses for regulatory or compliance reasons. You can now translate your pod IPs to your node IPs on GKE Autopilot clusters with the latest networking features that are generally available: Our Egress NAT policy with IP masquerading for pod to node IP translation is now GA for GKE Autopilot, and Our…

How A Robotics Startup Switched Clouds And Reduced Its Kubernetes Ops Costs With GKE Autopilot

Don’t look now, but Brain Corp operates over 20,000 of its robots in factories, supermarkets, schools and warehouses, taking on time-consuming assignments like cleaning floors, taking inventory, restocking shelves, etc. And BrainOS®, the AI software platform that powers these autonomous mobile robots, doesn’t just run in the robots themselves — it runs in the cloud. Specifically, Google Cloud. But that wasn’t always the case. Brain Corp recently partnered with Google Cloud to migrate its robotics platform from Amazon EKS to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Autopilot. Running thousands of robots in production comes with tons of operational challenges, and Brain Corp.…

A Cloud Built For Developers — 2021 Year In review

2021 was a seminal year for software developers. Every company accelerated their digital and online efforts, while simultaneously moving to remote development. Innovation by driving developer productivity was top of mind for nearly every IT executive we spoke to. Many asked us about Alphabet’s long track record of innovation. From Google search to Waymo’s driverless cars, is there a secret to developing the next big thing? The answer is simple: 10X thinking. Look for solutions that help customers drive 10X improvements, through a series of smaller increments that compound to a large impact over time. At Google Cloud, we follow…
