The dragon days of summer: this week on Google Cloud Platform
Friday, August 12, 2016
Posted by Alex Barrett, Editor, Google Cloud Platform Blog
Ah, summer! The time for relaxing, taking the kids to a matinee, and . . . using machine learning to recognize everyday objects using the
Cloud Vision API
!
That’s what the fine folks at Disney and Google Zoo are doing to promote their new movie
Pete’s Dragon
: Accessing the Cloud Vision RESTful API, Disney has
created a mobile website
that allows your mobile device to recognize objects in your field of vision and display Elliot the Dragon in and around those objects in Augmented Reality (AR). Try it out from your mobile device at
Dragonspotting.com
.
But in
Google Cloud Platform
circles, that’s been the extent of the relaxing. In the past week, the GCP team has been exceptionally busy, releasing new versions of
Google Cloud Dataflow
and
Google Cloud Datalab
, adding support for
Python 3 in Google App Engine flexible environment
, acquiring
Orbitera
, partnering with Facebook on
a new DC 48V power standard
and
dropping prices on Preemptible VMs
!
Other community members chimed in on how to perform
rolling updates on managed GCP databases
, analyzing residential construction trends
using Google BigQuery
, exploring the
performance model of Cloud DataFlow
and
analyzing GitHub pull requests using BigQuery
.
Maybe all this hard work is paying off. A
recent survey
of 200 IT professionals found that 84% of them are using public cloud services, and that GCP beats out the other major providers as their preferred platform.
A
survey
by
SADA Systems
, a Google for Work Premier Partner, of 200+ IT managers about their use of public cloud services
OK, so maybe we’ll take a vacation next week . . .
