Introducing Cloud DNS public IP health checks, for more resilient multicloud deployments

Organizations use multiple clouds to gain agility, use resources more efficiently, and leverage the strengths of different cloud providers. However, managing application traffic across these environments is challenging. To support predictable services, organizations need a system that intelligently selects the optimal backend for each request. The selection takes into account both the real-time health of […]

Announcing quantum-safe digital signatures in Cloud KMS

The continued advancement of experimental quantum computing has raised concerns about the security of many of the world’s widely-used public-key cryptography systems. Crucially, there exists the potential for sufficiently large, cryptographically-relevant quantum computers to break these algorithms. This potential highlights the need for developers to build and implement quantum-resistant cryptography now. Fortunately, post-quantum cryptography (PQC)

Unlock Inference-as-a-Service with Cloud Run and Vertex AI

It’s no secret that large language models (LLMs) and generative AI have become a key part of the application landscape. But most foundational LLMs are consumed as a service, meaning they’re hosted and served by a third party and accessed via APIs. Ultimately, this reliance on external APIs creates bottlenecks for developers. There are many
