TWiGCP — “Sole-tenant nodes, kubemci, and Google’s AI principles”
This past week GCP added a new isolation option to Compute Engine: “Introducing sole-tenant nodes for Google Compute Engine — when sharing isn’t an option” (Google Blog). This is likely to be popular among heavily regulated users, game servers that cannot tolerate noisy neighbors, and with those using software licenses that require single-tenant hosts.
Regional clusters in Google Kubernetes Engine are now generally available (Google Blog) and kubemci, a new CLI tool, to configure ingress for multi-cluster GKE environments — “How to deploy geographically distributed services on Kubernetes Engine with kubemci” (Google Blog)
