Google never uses health, sex religion or any data from gmail etc for ads. They never sell your data. Now releasing Ads Center so you have control over ads shown and data privacy. You can implement data removal policies for names, phone, etc to be removed from Search results.

I recently lost someone big in my life: my grandma, who was really a mother to me. And for the past 2 years I’ve been recording her stories knowing our time together was limited - so I could eventually carry on her legacy. I’m sharing her incredible story below 🧵👇
▶️ This is fun:
@YouTube
is moving part of its infra from Google's own infra to
@GoogleCloud
. Being that it's the 2nd largest website on the Internet, it'll be a test of scalability for a 2B+ user multimedia processing service.
Most people overestimate what they can achieve in one year, and underestimate what they can achieve in ten years.
In ten years, you’ll look back and marvel at how much you've done. Focus on the day to day wins, trust the process, and never stop learning.
New fact:
#CloudRun
instances can now process up to 1,000 concurrent requests (default is 80). In comparison, FaaS (Cloud Functions) have a fixed concurrency of 1, making CR is the ideal option for fast scale up + service to service auth/communication👏
I shared recently
@googlecloud
published carbon-free energy %s for our cloud regions. Now we created a DOPE region picker tool that lets you optimize between:
🍃Lower carbon footprint
💲Price
⏱And latency
It'll suggest the best regions for your needs!

Cloud Functions 2nd gen is the next version of

#Serverless
=no servers right? What it really means is saving 70% on billing after migrating from App Engine to Cloud Run💸
SAP moved to CR using buildpacks, a load balancer, and updated URL maps and got some pretty wild results. Read the blog:
Public IPs have always been an easy attack surface, but
@GCPcloud

Toronto, Santiago, Doha, Paris, Milan, Madrid, & Turin
So cool.
@googlecloudtech
announced the GA availability of GKE Image Streaming: your app can start booting immediately while GKE streams container data in parallel 🤯 Deliver only the data your app needs vs waiting for it all. Reduce cold start times.
BigLake was announced at the
@googlecloud
Data Summit - unify data warehouses+lakes w/o worrying about storage format.
It's among *many* other launches like Vertex AI Workbench, & Connected Sheets for Looker. If you're a data analytics nerd read on👇
Cloud Functions now supports min instances to combat cold-starts (like Cloud Run!). Min instances during low demand can dramatically improve performance for your serverless applications and workflows. Plus min instances are billed at a different rate.
Wait WHAT we just hit 600K subs on the
@GCPcloud

When I started 3 years ago we were at less than half that. I am so proud of my teams and

to YOU ALL for celebrating the same passion I have for

Getting a text from my mom that she's proud of me hit me right in the feels, and suddenly reminded me it's one of the few opinions I should care about 🥲
YES it's finally out! I got the chance to *deep dive* into how
