Episode description

In this episode, we cover the biggest announcements coming out of Google with our host Tim Scholes. In our quick bites segment, we take a look at Cloud Spanner improvements and some newly released machine learning products. We cover what products have been made generally available, including virtual display devices and cool new networking improvements. In our GCP Gems, we dig deeper into the updated Gartner Magic Quadrant and Forrester Wave reports and find out just how far ahead Google’s Apigee and Cloud Build pulled from the pack. We also take a closer look at the new GA status for container-native load balancing for GKE and how that will bring functionality boosts deeper than just GKE. Finally, we announce our Guru of the Month winner!
