Are there any best practices for partial data updates using Cloud Storage?

Hi everyone,My name is Masahide Mori.I'm currently thinking about using Cloud Storage to store cloud application data, and I'm trying to add an auto-save feature.The reason for using CloudStorage is that it assumes that the data is a large chunk (over MB).Of particular concern are the frequency of saves and the size of the transfer. In general, the downlink transfer speed is faster than the uplink, so I'm thinking of the following logic. Is this a good logic?Preparation1. Make the object itself a form that can be represented by a set of elements (e.g. JSON)2. Set a unique serial code for each element.3. For now, let's assume the file is placed under "private / backend version / user_uid /".logic1. Create an object and save it in the cloud.    to "private / v1 / user_uid / object_name / basefile"2. Next time user use it. Download the object.    from "private / v1 / user_uid / object_name / basefile"3. Mark only the elements that have changed on the front end.4. Upload only changed eleme

Is a significant change in certifications coming?

The debate on how necessary certifications are and how faithfully they demonstrate one's ability as a professional has always been in the day-to-day conversations.At the same time, there is a boom in the use of cloud labs, real environments where we are given credentials to carry out the requested activities in real scenarios.Many professions require hands-on exams to obtain a degree. It does not seem unreasonable to think that cloud certificates could follow the same path.Neither Google nor Microsoft has announced anything about getting theory and practice together in an exam, at least that I know of. Amazon is the first to announce a certification that includes a laboratory as part of the exam.From my point of view, I do not discard seeing Google announce an exam that includes a hands-on lab, and if this happens, I think it is good. It will increase the recognition of those who spend many hours studying and preparing for the certifications.What do you think? Are we going to see these

For SAP Workloads, The Private Cloud is Dead! What are your thoughts?

It has come to my attention that there are a lot of news articles from the leading Cloud and Infrastructure publications noting that the traditional datacenter or private cloud approach to hosting SAP systems is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Which comes at no surprise to me, in 2019 I wrote a blog post For SAP Workloads, The Private Cloud is Dead! …. well, maybe not completely DEAD, but certainly not the mainstay that it was once perceived to be. Why? Because the Public Clouds have evolved to the point they are simply a better solution. Public Cloud vendors (such as Google Cloud) are pouring billions into their datacenters which is a scale that no private cloud vendor can match. This provides customers with several key benefits, specifically for SAP workloads that should not be overlooked, such as - unlimited scalability, global datacenters, constant innovation at lightning pace, massive network bandwidth, and no process management constraints. Does your company feel the same w

[Harvard Business Review] FAST-TRACK DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION WITH ERP IN THE CLOUD: How to Unlock New Business Opportunities While Upgrading to SAP S/4HANA

In my daily conversations with SAP customers, many CIOs, CTOs and other IT executives are interested to better understand (via a third party perspective) how running SAP applications in the Google Cloud can help their company be more (and stay) competitive. In today’s business climate optimizing costs, continuing to innovate while staying ahead of the curve is a necessity. So I thought I’d share a link to a helpful research document Harvard Business Review’s whitepaper » FAST-TRACK DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION WITH ERP IN THE CLOUD: How to Unlock New Business Opportunities While Upgrading to SAP S/4HANA, as I have shared with fellow executives who found the research to not only confirm their plans for digital transformation but also a helpful guide to building a use case for a cloud implementation project. According to the whitepaper, “Public clouds stand out as long-term choices for ERP because of their traditional and advanced capabilities as well as the pressures on cloud providers to kee

K8s container scaling based on event queue size

PrefetchAt the Google Cloud Born-Digital Summit 2021 (08:50) Diana Nanova from Google Cloud was asking: "how do you actually scale?". At that time history as well as the setup was briefly explained. Additionally, the k8s hpa topic was touched and also described that just cpu based hpa scaling is used at the moment. As CPU is just a general indicator of load - it is quite a rough estimation about scaling should be done or not. Especially if cpu load is low but number of incoming requests is high and if there are 500 different components running with different internal behaviors - this kind of scaling is suboptimal. So it was explained there are smarter ways to do it with custom metrics to use for example rpm/rps (incoming requests per minute/second) or queue size of tasks to be done. One important answer given in the summit video regarding scaling: "Why just spawning 1, 2, 4, 10 replicas - why not spawning 10.000 as many messages you have in the queue? If autoscaling on node level works
