We hereby declare September to be scalability month! As the world prepares for a surge of agentic fleets, we are shoring up our AI infrastructure and orchestration offerings to gracefully — and quickly — respond to that demand, all while maintaining workload isolation and security, and keeping costs

Spanner Omni, the deploy-anywhere version of Spanner, is now generally available, ready to power your most demanding production workloads in your on-premises data center or on other clouds. With Spanner, Google pioneered the distributed SQL market over a decade ago, combining the horizontal scalabil

Welcome to the second Cloud CISO Perspectives for September 2026. Today, Alicja Cade and Nick Godfrey, senior directors, Office of the CISO, share their guidance for cybersecurity startups on how to win over the CISOs who will become crucial business partners and customers. As with all Cloud CISO Pe

Today, we’re excited to introduce the newest members of the AWS Heroes program. AWS Heroes are a vibrant, worldwide group of AWS experts who go above and beyond to share knowledge, mentor others, and build thriving communities. These individuals make a real difference in helping developers and organ

Today, Google Cloud Data Agent Kit is generally available. Data Agent Kit is a free set of Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools and agent skills that lets the coding agent you already use work directly with your Google Cloud data products, whether you're using Antigravity, Claude Code, Codex, or other

Today, we’re expanding our ecosystem of managed remote MCP servers by introducing the Google Cloud CLI remote MCP server in preview. Powered by the popular gcloud and bq (BigQuery) command-line tools, this new server gives AI agents immediate, broad access to command-line operations for managing Goo

When scaling up agentic reinforcement learning (RL) and evaluation across massive parallel rollouts, frontier AI labs inevitably hit a bottleneck: Expensive GPU clusters sit idle, waiting minutes for CPU sandbox cold-starts, plus thousands of multi-gigabyte SWE-bench-style image pulls and scheduling

As threat actors increasingly use AI to accelerate and develop cyberattacks, enterprise defenders need to rely on both AI and a critical defender’s advantage: Business context that only you possess. Enterprise cyber defense spans identity, network, endpoint, data, cloud, and application layers, ofte

If there’s one theme that defined last week, it’s choice. The frontier models keep arriving, and the interesting question is no longer just “how smart is it?” but “which model fits this step, at this cost, at this latency?” That’s exactly what landed on Amazon Bedrock over the past few days: GPT-6 S

Reinforcement learning (RL) has been a keystone of modern LLM post-training, but it demands large training clusters and access to model internals that external customers can't have with proprietary models like Gemini. So here at Google Cloud, we packaged it into a managed RL fine-tuning service (RLF

At Google Cloud, we are committed to delivering the best managed experience backed by open source software. Today, we’re announcing the general availability of Memorystore for Valkey 9.1, which achieves up to 3x queries per second (QPS) at microsecond latency compared to Memorystore for Redis Cluste

In this episode of The Agent Factory, we explore the reality of building with autonomous agents alongside Ryan Lopopolo, a software engineer at Google Cloud and the person who coined the term agent harness. From throwing out manual code editors to treating team collaboration like leveling up RPG sta

Amazon EventBridge announces an enhanced custom event bus for organizations scaling event-driven applications across teams and accounts. Deploy a single event bus shared across all AWS accounts in your organization, with ordering guarantees, a simplified Subscriber resource, and improved economics a

We’re excited and proud to share that Gartner has recognized Google as a Leader for the fourth year in a row in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Container Management, based on its Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. Google was positioned highest in Ability to Execute of all vendors e

Enterprises rely on mission-critical operational databases where performance slowdowns simply aren’t an option. Yet when even a few agents execute dense reasoning loops, the unpredictable surge in queries can easily overwhelm traditional architectures. Today, we’re announcing that AlloyDB delivers P

Introduction The landscape of software supply chain security has undergone a significant shift. Recent campaigns demonstrate that sophisticated threat actors are systematically targeting the engineering lifecycle by compromising trusted security and programming tools. These intrusions reveal three k

Enterprises are increasingly standardizing on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) to run their most critical and AI-driven workloads. From Cloud Storage FUSE for high-throughput data access to custom compute classes (CCC) and advanced GPU slicing, GKE provides the scale and efficiency required for modern

Google Cloud has become the platform of choice for startups building AI. Our uniquely complete stack — including a choice of first- and third-party compute and models; our platform for building and managing agents; and our products for securing AI workloads — has emerged as the single most important

Latin America’s small and medium-sized businesses are the heartbeat of the region's economy — accounting for more than 60% of total employment in the region, according to United Nations estimates. And just like their enterprise peers, everywhere you look, ambitious teams are moving fast to embrace A

Following our announcement of Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking last week, we are thrilled to share that Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar is now generally available in Gemini Enterprise. First previewed at Google Cloud Next 2026, the technology is now officially ready for enterpr

Entire database engineering careers have been spent on a single question: How do you scale an OLTP workload without compromising the system of record that owns the data? Exadata answered the question by offloading queries into a scale-out storage tier beneath the database, removing the network as th

The availability of resources for AI workloads can be challenging across the industry, especially accelerators. This can slow your AI workload deployment if it’s built around a specific type of accelerator. The concept of fluid compute allows you to design your AI deployment with several options bas
