New and shinyThree new things to know this weekI’m loving the refreshed Google Cloud documentation portal. Good docs means happy developers. Go peruse our docs site to see a brand new side navigation that makes exploration easier. And we added new domain overview pages and product pages. Give me any feedback you have!Our mobile app finally gets me. Are you running the iOS or Android app for Google Cloud? It’s a handy tool for managing your cloud on the go. We just turned on the Personalized Service Health experience so you can see the incidents that impact the services you’re running.Generate all the things. If you’re doing data science work, you’re probably using Python. I like that BigQuery’s AI-assistance now generates Python code for your notebooks. Check out the instructions and try it out.Watch this

DORA in an AI-powered world. Nathen explains how to think about how AI may contribute to improved software delivery performance.Community cutsEvery week I round up some of my favorite links from builders around the Google Cloud-iverse. Want to see your blog or video in the next issue? Drop Richard a line!How do you move the data? What does Extract-Transform-Load do, and how do you use this pattern to move data around the cloud? Dolly has a detailed post that lays it out, including which services you can use for each task.Do you need to understand how a Cloud service is built? No, but it’s helpful. BigQuery is a remarkable cloud service. You can certainly use it without knowing how it’s architected, but you might want to read this post from Vu to understand how BigQuery is put together.Can you really compare AI models? Having a hard time keeping up with all the AI models coming to market? Me too, and it’s kinda my job to keep up! You can use auto side-by-side in Vertex AI to evaluate two models in the Model Registry. Jitendra wrote a helpful post to show how it works.Learn and growThree ways to build your cloud muscles this weekWant to learn vector search in Spanner. Today is your lucky day. There’s a new code lab that walks you through steps of generating embeddings and using the vector data in a query.You get the availability you pay for. Should you pick a regional or zonal GKE cluster? There are availability and cost implications to your choice! This new post explains those implications and helps you make the right choice.Managed software on managed Kubernetes? Tell me more. GKE in Autopilot mode is the most managed Kubernetes environment you’ll find. But I haven’t noticed a ton of support for commercial software packages. Until now. Run Elastic Cloud on GKE Autopilot, as well as Hashicorp Consul. Good deal!One more thing
