Google Cloud Platform Live introduces Container Engine, Cloud Networking, Cloud Debugger, and more
What do you get when you get tens of thousands of developers from around the world joining in for one event? A whirlwind. On November 4, Google Cloud Platform Live featured keynotes, highlights from our customers, sessions covering topics from mobile apps to cloud computing, and some fiery moments (literally). We also announced new features that are now available, including:
To get a full recap of the event, check out our detailed blog post covering all our announcements. Or re-live the event with the keynote, session videos, or a live-tweet of the whole day.
Curated Ubuntu Images now available on Google Cloud Platform
Our customers spoke and we listened. Google Cloud Platform announced this month that we are now offering Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, 12.04 LTS and 14.10 guest images in beta - at no additional charge. We’d love to have you take these images for a trial run. Try it here and let us know what you think.
Compute Engine welcomes Autoscaling and Click to Deploy Percona XtraDB Cluster
This month we introduced two highly anticipated features to Compute Engine: Autoscaling and Percona XtraDB Clusters. Autoscaling allows customers to build more cost effective and resilient applications. Click to Deploy Percona XtraDB Cluster helps you simply launch a cluster preconfigured and ready-to-use in just a few clicks.
Free IPv6 address with Cloud SQL instances
It’s no secret that the Internet is quickly running out of IPv4 address space. Google has been at the forefront of IPv6 adoption -- the newer, larger address space -- and we are now assigning an immutable IPv6 address to each and every Cloud SQL instance, and making these addresses available for free. Full details can be found in this post.
AffiniTech and Framestore: Saving money and creating great customer experiences through Google Cloud Platform
We heard first hand from our customers AffiniTech and Framestore on how they use our products. AffiniTech helps their customers make data-driven decisions, while Framestore creates unforgettable visual effects (think Gravity). Both companies have seen incredible impacts to their bottom line and with their customers. But don’t just take our word-- hear it directly from AffiniTech and Framestore in their blog posts.
November, and this year, has given us a lot to be thankful for, so we want to say thank you to all of you who’ve helped us hack, hustle, and go on this journey. To all those outside of the US, we wish you a well-deserved thank you for your support and to those stateside, have a great Thanksgiving.
