Posted by Jo Maitland, Managing Editor, Google Cloud Platform Blog
In-between
daydreaming about virtual reality
and saying
Allo to Duo
, there were some fantastic
Google Cloud Platform
sessions and demos at
Google I/O
this year. In case you weren’t able to attend the show, here are the recordings.
In
One Lap Around Google Cloud Platform
, developer advocate
Mandy Waite
, and
Brad Abrams
walk through the process of building a Node.js backend for an iOS and Android based game. Easily the best bit of the session is a demo that uses
Kubernetes
and GCP
Container Registry
to deploy a Docker container to
App Engine Flexible Environment
,
Google Container Engine
and an
AWS EC2 instance
. It’s a simple demo of portability across clouds, a key differentiator for GCP.
Speaking of multi-cloud environments, developer advocate
Aja Hammerly
presented a great session on
Stackdriver
, called
Just Enough Stackdriver To Sleep Well At Night
, which will be music to the ears for any of you who have to carry a pager to support your site or application. In a nutshell, Aja shows how Stackdriver unifies a bunch of different monitoring and management tools into a single solution.
If you’ve made the leap to containers or are thinking about it, you’ll want to check
Carter Morgan's
session:
Best practices for orchestrating the cloud with Kubernetes
. This session includes the basics of modern day applications and how containers work. It also covers packaging and distributing apps using Docker and how to up your game by running applications on Kubernetes.
Did you know Kubernetes has seen 5,000 commits and over 50% from unique contributors since January 2015?
Next, IoT ideas are a dime a dozen, but bringing them to life is another story. In
Making sense of IoT data with the cloud
, developer advocate
Ian Lewis
shows how you can manage a large number of devices on GCP and how to ingest, store and analyze the data from those devices.
In
Supercharging Firebase with Google Cloud Platform
developer advocates
Sandeep Dinesh
and
Bret McGowen
use
Firebase
to build a real-time game that interacts with virtual machines, big data and machine learning APIs on GCP. The coolest part of the demo involves the audience in the room and on the livestream interacting with the game via Speech API, all yelling instructions at the same time to move a dot through a maze. The hallmark of Firebase
—
real-time data synchronization across connected devices in milliseconds
—
is on display here and fun to see. For more Firebase tips and tricks check out
Creating interactive multiplayer experiences with Firebase
, from developer advocate
Mark Mandel
.
Switching gears to big data and the upcoming U.S. presidential election, developer advocate
Felipe Hoffa
and software engineer
Jordan Tigani
, demo the power of
Google BigQuery
to uncover some intriguing campaign insights in
Election 2016: The Big Data Showdown
. You'll learn which candidate is spending the most money and how efficient that spending is relative to their mentions on TV, by mashing together various different public datasets in BigQuery. Felipe and Jordan do a nice job showing us how BigQuery can separate the signal from the noise to figure out what it all means.
Figuring out the right storage for each application in your business can be a daunting task on the cloud.
Dominic Preuss
, group product manager, explains how in
Scaling your data from concept to petabytes
.
And of course, no event that includes Cloud Platform is complete without demos from developer advocates
Kaz Sato
on
How to build a smart RasPi bot with Cloud Vision and Speech API
, and another crowd-pleaser,
Google Cloud Spin: Stopping time with the power of Cloud
, from
Francesc Campoy Flores
.
