With all of the excitement around Kubernetes engine, Cloud ML, BigQuery, Spanner, and other Google Cloud products, it’s easy to overlook how amazing Compute Engine has become since it was announced in 2012.

When I show off Compute Engine to friends, I usually walk them through the “create instance” dialogs. I can usually get them to say “oh wow” after only a few seconds. A dialog is worth a thousand words — so I put together the following exploded view of the create instance dialog:

These dialogs were captured on April 2, 2018 and they always evolving. For example, we recently announced the NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPUs, added new regions and zones, added images for SQL Server 2017, etc., so if it’s been more than a few weeks, check the real dialogs for the latest features. …

In September, 2016, I published “How I tamed Gmail at work” to share my own Gmail practices.

Since writing the original article, I’ve learned how to better handle the day to day switching between desktop browser and the mobile Gmail client. Today, I updated the article accordingly. If you followed my original suggestions, I suggest switching from using the orange star for the TODOs inbox to the yellow star to take advantage of the mobile version of Gmail since it only supports the yellow star.

I also published “Using Gmail like vi — keep your hands on the keyboard”, a guide for shortcut power users.

Last Thursday at the Google Horizon event in San Francisco, we made a ton of announcements across a broad spectrum of topics. The announcements were coming so fast, it was hard to keep up! Now that the dust has settled, I’ve put together a recap to get you caught up.

Introducing Google Cloud

Diane Greene, SVP, blogged Introducing Google Cloud. The new Google Cloud brand spans every layer of business and includes Google Cloud Platform, machine learning tools and APIs, enterprise Maps API, Android and Chrome devices that access the cloud, and the newly named G Suite (formerly Google Apps for Work).

New regions, Kubernetes new features, CRE

Brian Stevens, VP, blogged Google Cloud Platform sets a course for new horizons — announcing eight new Google Cloud Regions: Mumbai, Singapore, Sydney, Northern Virginia, Sao Paulo, London, Finland, and Frankfurt (with more to be announced next year). Brian also covered Kubernetes’ latest feature, Cluster Federation that supports straightforward deployment across multiple clusters and multiple clouds. He also mentioned that Google Container Engine usage is doubling every 90 days! Last but not least, Brian announced a new role: Customer Reliability Engineering (CRE) that directly integrates with our customers operation’s team. …
