Filestore Multishares for GKE (preview)

Hey there!The @malamin has described Filestore at here previously.Now I can say it has a new feature/tier in preview (beta). It’s Filestore Multishares for GKE.It’s possible to attach a number of Shares in a Filestore Enterprise instance.IMHO Maybe, you can save costs by sharing a storage instance instead of creating that big & lonely ones.With Filestore Multishares for GKE, you can allocate up to ten shares across a single Filestore Enterprise instance. Each share maps to a unique Persistent Volume (PV) in GKE. Each GKE PV can range from 100GiB to 1TiB in size, offering greater flexibility for organizations that require both smaller volumes for multiple clients and multi-writer access across a shared network. Use Filestore Multishares for GKE with the new GKE Filestore CSI driver for greater flexibility and performance.Read more https://cloud.google.com/filestore/docs/multishares

Introducing support for GPU workloads and even larger Pods in GKE Autopilot

Run your AI/ML, video transcoding, and other GPU workloads on Google's fully managed Kubernetes platform! NVIDIA T4 and A100 GPUs are now available on GKE Autopilot.The great thing about running GPU workloads on Autopilot is that all you need to do is specify your GPU requirements in your Pod configuration, and Google Cloud take care of the rest. No need to install drivers separately, or worry about non-GPU pods running on your valuable GPU nodes, because Autopilot takes care of GPU configuration and Pod placement automatically.  Click on the link below to read it more detail. https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/containers-kubernetes/run-gpu-workloads-on-gke-autopilot

features requests

Hello everyone, is there a channel, group, or thread, whether in this community or elsewhere, where you can make features requests to the GCP ?I’ve been playing with Cloud Run, which is really a cool service, but I’ve noticed that the `SET UP CONTINUOUS DEPLOYMENT` subsequent form does not allow to look for a Dockerfile that is not in the root of the repo while having the root folder as the build context (as you would do with in a docker-compose file by specifying the context);this prompted me to do something quite ackward, which is creating the same Dockerfile at the root of my project instead of just referencing it from the GCP UI; both files are exactly the same, and it terms of maintenance, this is not great Is there a way to keep a nested Dockerfile as the one which the build will be made from without having to copy the exact same file at root just because of build context ? Does it worth a feature request, if such a channel existed ? Thanks 🙏
