Scale your AI workloads faster and more efficiently with GKE Pod snapshots

When running modern AI workloads, there’s often a conflict between performance and cost. Workloads like large language models (LLMs) load massive files, and may serve thousands of AI agents that need to execute code instantly. If each component is starting “cold” with a full data-load process, all this provisioning takes time, often forcing organizations to […]

Global AI routing with <1% overhead on multi-cluster GKE Inference Gateway

Demand for AI infrastructure is at an all-time high. Global accelerator shortages mean engineering teams can rarely get all the compute they need from just one data center — capacity comes a cluster here, a cluster there, often an ocean apart. At the same time, workloads are getting hungrier: Today’s long-running agentic workloads often have

Announcing Native BM25 Ranking in AlloyDB and Cloud SQL

Vector search is a critical component of generative AI, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and data agent architectures, but sometimes vector search alone isn’t enough. While vector embeddings are incredible at understanding conceptual meaning, they stumble on specific alphanumeric IDs and exact product SKU numbers. To build truly robust search and AI applications, you may need the

How to upskill enterprise AI builders by using daily micro habits

As enterprises invest in generative AI, tech leaders keep seeing the same pattern: Developers test AI tools for a week, hit setup problems, and then drift back to the backlog. Nothing ships. The real gap is enablement. In this landmark Harvard Business Review article, Josh Bersin and Marc Zao-Sanders noted that knowledge workers carve out

Changing the game: How Google uses agentic AI to secure hundreds of millions of lines of code

AI is accelerating software development at an unprecedented pace. But as code generation scales, so do the challenges of securing the code, especially emerging AI-based vulnerability exploitations. To meet these challenges, the Google AI and Infrastructure team is transforming how we approach security. In this article, we discuss new AI-native agentic methods that we’ve developed

Reimagining service delivery in the agentic era with Google Public Sector

State and local governments are driven by a shared mission to provide responsive, equitable, and accessible services. However, achieving this goal is often hindered by legacy technical debt, disconnected data, and heavy administrative burdens that slow down mission delivery. This systemic fragmentation creates costly operational bottlenecks across the public sector, including: Legacy data silos: Crucial

Accelerating the borderless Lakehouse: Announcing preview of cross-cloud caching

Today, we are excited to announce enhancements to the borderless Lakehouse, our answer to how data engineers, data scientists, and increasingly, AI agents, can query governed data directly where it lives. To reason accurately and automate complex enterprise workflows, agents and data consumers of all types need fast, unified access to an organization’s complete data

How CSIRO built scalable, cost-optimized genomic variant querying on AWS

This is a guest post by Denis Bauer, Yatish Jain, Anuradha Wickramarachchi, Brendan Hosking, and Nick Edwards of CSIRO, in collaboration with the ASP Prototyping and Scaling Team at AWS. In this post, we describe how researchers at CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, built Serverless Beacon (sBeacon), a scalable serverless solution for securely querying genomic
