Specification-driven composition for flexible data workflows

Specification-driven composition addresses a common scalability bottleneck in data pipelines. Data pipelines often start as simple scripts, but as they grow, you duplicate transformation logic and small changes cascade across multiple workflows. Copying and modifying data transformation logic across scripts leads to workflows that become difficult to manage at scale. Tracking what each pipeline does

Autopilot Clusters with GKE managed DRANET: GPUs and TPUs

Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) managed DRANET supports both GPUs and TPUs. There are several configurations to use this implementation, including standard cluster (where you have full control) and autopilot cluster (where Google does the heavy configs for you). I’ve been exploring the capabilities and in this blog we will explore setting up for autopilot clusters.

C4N, now GA: Delivering cloud’s highest per vCPU network and block storage I/O for x86 workloads

As organizations scale modern workloads — from high-throughput databases and network/security appliances to real-time analytics and AI/ML inference — network and block storage performance can quickly become a bottleneck. Standard virtual machines often struggle to balance compute efficiency with the high-volume data-transfer demands of these applications. At Google Cloud Next ‘26, we announced C4N in
