We’re excited to announce the general availability of our next-generation C4D virtual machine family. Powered by 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors (Turin) paired with Google Titanium’s latest advancements, C4D provides customers with meaningful performance improvements — up to 80% higher throughput for web serving and 30% better performance for general computing workloads compared to the […]

Credentials are an essential part of modern software development and deployment, granting bearers privileged access to systems, applications, and data. However, credential-related vulnerabilities remain the predominant entry point exploited by threat actors in the cloud. Stolen credentials “are now the second-highest initial infection vector, making up 16% of our investigations,” said Jurgen Kutscher, vice-president, Mandiant

As foundation model training infrastructure scales to tens of thousands of accelerators, efficient utilization of those high-value resources becomes paramount. In particular, as the cluster gets larger, hardware failures become more frequent (~ few hours) and recovery from previously saved checkpoints becomes slower (up to 30 minutes), significantly slowing down training progress. A checkpoint represents

As AI moves from promising experiments to landing core business impact, the most critical question is no longer “What can it do?” but “How well does it do it?”.  Ensuring the quality, reliability, and safety of your AI applications is a strategic imperative. To guide you, evaluation must be your North Star—a constant process that

June 9 – June 13 Introducing Pub/Sub Single Message Transforms (SMTs), to make it easy to perform simple data transformations such as validate, filter, enrich, and alter individual messages as they move in real time right within Pub/Sub. The first SMT is available now: JavaScript User-Defined Functions (UDFs), which allows you to perform simple, lightweight

As a scalable, distributed, high-performance, Cassandra- and HBase-compatible NoSQL database, Bigtable processes more than 5 billion sustained queries per second and has more than 10 Exabytes of data under management. At this scale, we optimize Bigtable for high-throughput and low-latency reads and writes.  In a previous blog post, we shared details of how our single-row

Welcome to the first Cloud CISO Perspectives for June 2025. Today, Anton Chuvakin, security advisor for Google Cloud’s Office of the CISO, discusses a new Google report on securing AI agents, and the new security paradigm they demand. As with all Cloud CISO Perspectives, the contents of this newsletter are posted to the Google Cloud
