The future is application-centric. Today we launched App Hub GA - this is a baby step and the sky is the limit in the journey of speaking the language of business instead of language of cloud infrastructure. cloud.google.com/blog/products/…

All Google traffic is load balanced by global algorithms and traffic management policies. A few days ago, we released some of these policies to GCP LBs and Traffic Director to sprinkle a bit of Google magic on Cloud.

The cat is out of the bag : Duet AI is here. It was quite a steep and fast learning of genAI components to build a serving stack for Duet AI. #GenAI #GoogleCloud Next #GoogleCloud

And here is the documentary envoyprojectdocumentary.com

I never thought I'd play a part in the movie. And yet here it is - the documentary about the history of Envoy proxy - envoyprojectdocumentary.com from Speakeasy Productions premiers at KubCon in April.

We're looking for woman founders to present at Demo, Don't Pitch (lu.ma/DDP1) on the 24th at 6:30 PM. 2 spots are being reserved and we'd love to get a couple more applicants at tally.so/r/wM1zvX

Those of us who have been in networking for a while agree that a network needs to disappear for a developer. The very first step towards abstracting from infrastructure to services. Matt Klein #services #cloudservices

Super excited that 'Deployment Archetypes for Cloud Applications' paper that Brad Calder and I co-authored finally got published in ACM Computing Surveys - it is Open Access, so take a read - dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/34…. #CloudComputing #reliable #Deployment Google Cloud Tech

on-prem customers owned everything. As they move to cloud, ownership becomes ephemeral. With that the topologies to protect deployments became critical to understand. Grant Dasher @inese1 Brad Calder describe this problem and solutions in research.google/pubs/pub51077/. A must read

It is fascinating to see performant and scalable platforms built on the top of performant and scalable platforms. This is different game than a vertical customer business (let’s say Twitter)

#GCP Open Service Networking :
1. OSS dataplanes (DP) - Envoy LBs for edge, service2service, service mesh, gRPC proxyless services
2. #trafficdirector - rules DPs with uniform policies via open XDS APIs
3. Extends to other clouds, on-prem via OSS DPs
#servicenetworking

And just like that ... GCP External HTTP(S) LB is based on Envoy in Preview - cloud.google.com/load-balancing… (the old one is called classic). Google Cloud Tech Matt Klein Alyssa Harvey Tuch and so many more Google and OSS teams.

🧐 What happens when you separate #networking from your service's business logic?

I had fun chatting with Justin, Richard and Tzury about cloud native technologies, reliability and just about anything.

I wrote 'memory-hungry', Google docs prompted me to pick better wording and suggested 'memory intensive'. This is getting technically weird.

Transition from perimeter based security to zero trust security requires collaboration of all networking data planes - here is Traffic Director with zero trust Envoy and proxyless gRPC - cloud.google.com/blog/products/… Google Cloud Tech

Imagine you can inject fault not just in one service, but end to end to simulate zone or region down. Consistent use of XDS APIs does just that across proxyless gRPC, Envoy sidecars and Envoy LBs. Here is gRPC with latest features cloud.google.com/blog/products/… gRPC Google Cloud Tech
