In case you missed it in August: Google Cloud Platform Live, security that matters, Kubernetes expands and Zync joins Google
Wednesday, September 3, 2014
Out on holiday in August? We weren’t. Here’s what we were up to:
Google Cloud Platform Live date announced
This month, we announced the second-ever Google Cloud Platform Live, coming to you from San Francisco on November 4. Earlier this year, thousands of developers from around the world joined us in-person and online to hear our vision for the future of cloud computing. In March, the event filled up fast, so register to join us - either in person or online.
Security that matters
To help companies and developers use cloud services, it is essential that cloud providers are transparent about their security and privacy practices. We published our updated ISO 27001 certificate and SOC 2 and SOC 3 Type II audit report, which are the most widely recognized and accepted independent security compliance reports.
The most simple explanation of cloud ever
As Business Insider put it, our updated security certs gave us the opportunity to provide “the most simple explanation of cloud computing ever.”
VMware joins the Kubernetes family
We are very excited to welcome VMware to the Kubernetes family. With the addition of VMware in the community, we’re highlighting the infrastructure side of cluster management. VMware’s technical expertise in this area will contribute to making Kubernetes a capable, powerful and secure platform.
Google Compute Engine updates and improvements
The Compute Engine team has been busy with many new improvements. We’ve added new zones in the U.S. and Asia, and we’ve made SSD persistent disks generally available in all Compute Engine zones. We've also made it easier for developers to create custom images right from their root persistent disks.
Click-to-Deploy with Google Compute Engine
In July, we released a number of easy deployments on Google Compute Engine (check out our posts about one-click Apache Cassandra and one-click RabbitMQ. This past month, we kept the momentum. We introducing the first click-to-deploy open source development stack. Users can now deploy a MongoDB-Express Web Framework-AngularJS-NodeJS (MEAN) stack with a single click. We also announced GitLab Community Edition for Compute Engine. GitLab Community Server is great way to get the benefits of collaborative development for your team wherever you want it.
SSH from the Developers Console
No one likes abandoning a task to manage a VM. Now, you can SSH directly to your VM without leaving the Developers Console in your browser. Learn about the simplest way to access your Compute Engine VMs on the blog.
The GDELT Event Database comes to Google BigQuery
In May, we announced the availability of the entire quarter-billion-record GDELT Event Database in Google BigQuery, we were excited. This month, we revisited the GDELT Event Database to compute correlations between historical events.
Welcome Zync Render
Zync Render, the visual effects cloud rendering technology behind Star Trek Into Darkness, Transformers and Looper, has joined Google. Special effects require huge amounts of compute capacity to render visual effects. We’re excited to help, and we’ll have more on our rendering offerings in the next months.
