Security is at the heart of any cloud journey. On the one hand, as you adopt cloud services and move workloads to the cloud, you need to make sure you’re conforming to your established security policies. On the other hand, you can take advantage of new capabilities, use new tools, and help improve your security posture. Today’s announcements include new security features, whitepapers that explore our encryption capabilities and use-case demos to help deploy products optimally. These updates will help facilitate safer cloud journeys and give admins increased visibility and control for their organizations. New Google Cloud Security Showcase videos The Google Cloud Security Showcase is a video resource that’s focused on solving security problems and helping you create a safer cloud deployment. With more than 50 step-by-step videos on specific security challenges or use cases, complete with actionable information to help you solve that specific issue, there’s something for every secu...

2020 has brought with it some tremendous innovations in the area of cloud security. As cloud deployments and technologies have become an even more central part of organizations’ security program, we hope you’ll join us for the latest installment of our Google Cloud Security Talks, a live online event on November 18th, where we’ll help you navigate the latest thinking in cloud security. We’ll share expert insights into our security ecosystem and cover the following topics Sunil Potti and Rob Sadowski will open the digital event with our latest Google Cloud security announcements. This will be followed by a panel discussion with Dave Hannigan and Jeanette Manfra from Google Cloud’s Office of the CISO on how cloud migration is a unique opportunity to dismantle the legacy security debt of the past two decades. Kelly Waldher and Karthik Lakshminarayan will talk about the new Google Workspace and how it can enable users to access data safely and securely while preserving indi...

Preparing Google Cloud deployments for Docker Hub pull request limitsPreparing Google Cloud deployments for Docker Hub pull request limitsProduct Lead, Cloud CI/CDSolutions Architect

Image
Docker Hub is a popular registry for hosting public container images. Earlier this summer, Docker announced it will begin rate-limiting the number of pull requests to the service by “Free Plan” users. For pull requests by anonymous users this limit is now 100 pull requests per 6 hours; authenticated users have a limit of 200 pull requests per 6 hours. When the new rate limits take effect on November 1st, they might disrupt your automated build and deployment processes on Cloud Build or how you deploy artifacts to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Cloud Run or App Engine Flex from Docker Hub.  This situation is made more challenging because, in many cases, you may not be aware that a Google Cloud service you are using is pulling images from Docker Hub. For example, if your Dockerfile has a statement like “ FROM debian:latest ”or your Kubernetes Deployment manifest has a statement like “ image: postgres:latest ” it is pulling the image directly from Docker Hub. To help you identify th...

Cloud Storage object lifecycle management gets new controlsCloud Storage object lifecycle management gets new controlsProduct Management, Google Cloud Storage

Image
Managing your cloud storage costs and reducing the risk of overspending is critical in today’s changing business environments. Today, we’re excited to announce the immediate availability of two new Object Lifecycle Management (OLM) rules designed to help protect your data and lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) within Google Cloud Storage. You can now transition objects between storage classes or delete them entirely based on when versioned objects became noncurrent (out-of-date), or based on a custom time stamp you set on your objects. The end result: more fine grained controls to reduce TCO and improve storage efficiencies.  Delete objects based on archive time  Many customers who leverage OLM protect their data against accidental deletion with Object Versioning. However, without the ability to automatically delete versioned objects based on their age, the storage capacity and monthly charges associated with old versions of objects can grow quickly. With the non-current tim...

Modernize your Java apps with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud GCPModernize your Java apps with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud GCPDeveloper AdvocateSoftware Engineer

Image
It’s an exciting time to be a Java developer: there are new Java language features being released every 6 months, new JVM languages like Kotlin, and the shift from traditional monolithic applications to microservices architectures with modern frameworks like Spring Boot. And with Spring Cloud GCP, we’re making it easy for enterprises to modernize existing applications and build cloud-native applications on Google Cloud.  First released two years ago, Spring Cloud GCP allows Spring Boot applications to easily utilize over a dozen Google Cloud services with idiomatic Spring Boot APIs. This means you don’t need to learn a Google Cloud-specific client library, but can still utilize and realize the benefits of the managed services: If you have an existing Spring Boot application, you can easily migrate to Google Cloud services with little to no code changes. If you’re writing a new Spring Boot application, you can leverage Google Cloud services with the framework APIs ...

In all things technology, change is the only constant. This year alone has brought more uncertainty than ever before, and the IT shadows have felt full of perils. With the onset of the pandemic, the way consumers shop has shifted faster than anyone could have predicted. The move to online shopping vs. brick and mortar stores was already happening, but it’s significantly accelerated just this year alone. Shoppers have quickly transitioned to online purchasing, resulting in increased traffic and varying fulfillment needs. Shopper expectations have evolved as well, with 66% of online purchasers choosing a retailer based on convenience, while only 47% choosing a retailer based on price/value, according to Catalyst and Kantar research. So the pressure is on for retailers to become digital and make sure shoppers are happy. But there’s no reason to be spooked out. Done right, you can serve customers better with an understanding of their customers’ purchasing behavior and patterns us...

Cloud Acceleration Program: More reasons for SAP customers to migrate to Google CloudCloud Acceleration Program: More reasons for SAP customers to migrate to Google CloudHead of Global Alliance Partnerships, Google Cloud Platform

Image
The arrival of COVID-19 caused massive disruption for companies around the globe and made digital transformation a more urgent priority. That’s why it’s so important that enterprises running their businesses on SAP have the agility, uptime and advanced analytics that Google Cloud can offer. But given the drain on financial and human resources that the pandemic has caused, many organizations are worried about the risks of migrating to the cloud and have considered hitting the brakes on their cloud migrations, just when they should be pressing the gas pedal.  Last year we launched the Cloud Acceleration Program (CAP), which has significantly helped SAP customers speed their transitions to the cloud. This first-of-its-kind program empowers customers with solutions from both Google Cloud and our partners to simplify their cloud migrations. Google Cloud is also providing CAP participants with upfront financial incentives to defray infrastructure costs for SAP cloud migrations and help ...

Comparing containerization methods: Buildpacks, Jib, and DockerfileComparing containerization methods: Buildpacks, Jib, and DockerfileDeveloper Advocate

Image
As developers we work on source code, but production systems don’t run source, they need a runnable thing. Starting many years ago, most enterprises were using Java EE (aka J2EE) and the runnable “thing” we would deploy to production was a “.jar”, “.war”, or “.ear” file. Those files consisted of the compiled Java classes and would run inside of a “container” running on the JVM. As long as your class files were compatible with the JVM and container, the app would just work. That all worked great until people started building non-JVM stuff: Ruby, Python, NodeJS, Go, etc. Now we needed another way to package up apps so they could be run on production systems. To do this we needed some kind of virtualization layer that would allow anything to be run. Heroku was one of the first to tackle this and they used a Linux virtualization system called “lxc” – short for Linux Containers. Running a “containe...
