🎃 Trick or Treat? Treat of course! 🎃 🚀 Today we've launched GKE Control Plane Authority which provides enhanced visibility, security controls, and customization of the GKE control plane. 🚀

Check out our docs: https://t.co/fE7FWnsBrO

A great simplification for configuring IAM policy on Google Cloud: use Workload Identity Federation for GKE and reference your k8s resources directly! Check out this explanation in the video.

I have been talking to a decent amount of GKE customers about how to build an inferencing platform on GKE that can handle for GPU stockouts so I threw a quick demo together.
GKE Fleets and Multi Cluster Gateway can serve a inferencing model from multiple clusters behind a single global loadbalancer. Each inference server in each cluster has an HPA and the Gateway algo will send you to the closest server. Take a look at how the system response to a load test. Not too shabby right :)

"With one [committed use discount] purchase, you can cover eligible spend on all three products: Compute Engine, GKE, and Cloud Run." < great deal that protects you from the risk of buying discounts for a single service

Picked up some Seattle-roasted beans as recommended by @annnwallace from @VictrolaCoffee … luckily close by the hotel!
