Empower your teams with self-service Kubernetes using GKE fleets and Argo CD

Managing applications across multiple Kubernetes clusters is complex, especially when those clusters span different environments or even cloud providers. One powerful and secure solution combines Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) fleets and, Argo CD, a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. The solution is further enhanced with Connect Gateway and Workload Identity. This blog post […]

Data loading best practices for AI/ML inference on GKE

As AI models increase in sophistication, there’s increasingly large model data needed to serve them. Loading the models and weights along with necessary frameworks to serve them for inference can add seconds or even minutes of scaling delay, impacting both costs and the end-user’s experience.  For example, inference servers such as Triton, Text Generation Inference

Efficiency engine: How three startups deliver results faster with Vertex AI

Have you heard of the monkey and the pedestal? Astro Teller, the head of Google’s X “moonshot factory,” likes to use this metaphor to describe tackling the biggest challenge first, despite being tempted by the endorphin boost of completing more familiar tasks. It’s a challenge startups know well. When you’re re-inventing the industry standard, it’s
