Borrowed, not Inherit

Several years ago, before I became a father, I read an article about the earth and the future of our planet.I still remember the following line: “Our Children will not inherit the earth from us. We have borrowed the earth from them”.From that day on, I do my best not to burden the earth with what I do or should have done.That’s why reading this article from the Carbon-free for GCP team I found another reason to keep working with GCP. Google first achieved carbon neutrality in 2007.Since 2017 they’ve purchased enough solar and wind energy to match 100% of our global electricity consumption.Now they are building on that progress to target a new sustainability goal: running their business on carbon-free energy 24/7, everywhere, by 2030.Today, they are sharing data about how they are performing against that objective, so their customers can select Google Cloud regions based on the carbon-free energy supplying them.Here are some good ways to reduce the associated gross carbon emissions of y

Google Cloud launches Mission Critical Services offering

Google Cloud has launched a new Mission Critical Services (MCS) offering for its platform, with the solution available for purchase by the vendor’s Premium Support customers. The move is the latest effort by the cloud vendor to bolster its support for enterprise customers, according to Google Cloud customer experience vice president John Jester.“Our customers told us they wanted to have more support as they continued to scale their businesses on our global infrastructure,” Jester said in a blog post. “So, we overhauled our Voice of the Customer Programs, expanded our Customer Advisory Boards and launched a brand-new, independently run Google Cloud customer community. “We also rolled out Event Management Services for retailers and other businesses dealing with peak traffic loads — and introduced new Compliance and Security Assessments and Assured Workloads to make it easier for customers in regulated industries to configure their cloud environments. “Today, we’re raising the bar even fu

Who do you go to when you don't know the answer?

Since we have so many experts in Cloud Infrastructure, I’m curious, when you, as the expert, don’t know the answer who do you go to or where do you turn? Feel free to @ people and/or invite others to the community and conversation or share resources that would be helpful to the entire group. Look forward to hearing your responses!

DBeaver and Cloud Spanner

Cloud Spanner is too expensive for my pocket. I have used it once to check how easy it is to create and delete it immediately 😀Therefore, it makes sense to ask if there is anyone who uses it. And do you think that DBeaver’s native support will make your life easier?Doug Hungarter, Staff Interaction Designer at Google, is writing about DBeaver and Cloud Spanner in his article

Google Cloud announces new GKE Autopilot...thoughts?

The product team rolled out the new GKE autopilot last week and I wanted to assess whether the community sees this as a big deal, about time, under the noise floor? We are working on building out some applications and infrastructure programming for the community and I wanted to test whether it was worth chasing down Drew and the GKE product team around this topic.

Demystifying event filters in Eventarc

Eventarc enables you to read events from Google Cloud sources (via its Audit Logs integration) and custom sources (via its Pub/Sub integration) and then route them to Cloud Run services.The event routing rules are defined with a trigger. We can configure these triggers with the right event filters.Triggers with Cloud Console, it’s the easiest way Pub/Sub triggers with gcloud, you’ll need to do a little bit of work & Audit Log triggers with gcloud, are more complicated, as you’re dealing with multiple event source types, not just Pub/SubA great article from Mete Atamel Developer AdvocateHas anyone used it and wants to share tips with us?

How Memorystore cut costs in half for Quizlet’s Memcached workloads

Quizlet is an online learning community and provider of study resources to students and teachers. With over 50 million monthly users.For a more secure and convenient solution to Memcached node scaling, they switched to Google Cloud's Memorystore. The results were:cut costs by half,using only a quarter of their capacity,bigger footprint,reduced Memcached ops time,easier monitoring now,scaling is so much easierbut the most important is that it eliminated a lot of stress for the SRE teamhttps://cloud.google.com/blog/products/databases/memorystore-helps-cut-costs-and-improve-sreFor me, the elimination of stress from the SRE team is the most important result.

CloudWars 2021 Cloud Database Report

Great report from Bob Evans and John Foley on the 2021 Cloud Database market. They break down their analysis by four primary criteria, which i’ve pasted below. Report here → https://cloudwars.co/cloud-database-report/cloud-database-report-oracle-aws-and-snowflake-take-on-all-challengers/We used four criteria in choosing the Cloud Database Top 20: Enterprise capabilities. Vendors with a complete range of services and support that enterprises may want or need. Fully managed services are a plus. Platform adaptability. Tools, services, and APIs for data integration/migration and application compatibility are must-haves. Innovation. A steady pipeline of new, modern, differentiating capabilities. Demonstrated business value. Customer success is the #1 proof point.
