BigQuery vector search now GA, setting the stage for a new class of AI-powered analytics

Artificial intelligence (AI) has given organizations brand new ways to represent data so that it can be analyzed and understood at scale. AI models are trained to interpret the semantic meaning of words and other data by encoding them as vector embeddings. These embeddings represent the relative position in the vector space of the data

Leveraging Class E IPv4 Address space to mitigate IPv4 exhaustion issues in GKE

As the number of applications and services hosted on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) continues to grow, so does the demand for private IPv4 addresses (RFC 1918). For many large organizations, the RFC1918 address space is becoming increasingly scarce, leading to IP address exhaustion challenges that impact their application scale. IPv6 solves this exact address exhaustion
