#### [TensorFlow Dev Summit 2018](https://developers.googleblog.com/2018/04/highlights-from-tensorflow-dev-summit.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__041218&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog)

The second annual TensorFlow developer Summit was held on March 30th and, as you could predict, it was awesome. But don’t worry if you missed the event — or the livestream. [The post](https://developers.googleblog.com/2018/04/highlights-from-tensorflow-dev-summit.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__041218&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog) has all the highlights including how we’re making TensorFlow easier to use, work on more languages and platforms, and how we’re expanding community resources. The DevShow crew was also on site to interview some speakers, so watch for those videos on this channel soon.

#### [Android Studio](https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/04/android-studio-switching-to-d8-dexer.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__041218&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog)

D8 is a next-generation dex compiler that runs faster and produces smaller dex files with equivalent or better runtime performance when compared to the historic compiler. And D8 is now the default dex compiler. To learn more, including the deprecation plan for DX, take a look at [the post](https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/04/android-studio-switching-to-d8-dexer.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__041218&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog).

#### [Google Fonts Korean support](https://developers.googleblog.com/2018/04/google-fonts-launches-korean-support.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__041218&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog)

The Google Fonts catalog now includes Korean web fonts for those of you working with the Hangul writing system. To learn more about these fonts and the The Google Fonts API, head for [the post](https://developers.googleblog.com/2018/04/google-fonts-launches-korean-support.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__041218&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog).

#### [MobileNetV2](https://research.googleblog.com/2018/04/mobilenetv2-next-generation-of-on.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__041218&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog)

Last year we introduced MobileNetV1, a family of general purpose computer vision neural networks designed with mobile devices in mind to support classification, detection and more. MobileNetV2 is now available and it’s a significant improvement over MobileNetV1, pushing the state of the art for mobile visual recognition including classification, object detection and semantic segmentation. Links to the TensorFlow-Slim Image Classification Library, Colaboratory, Jupyter notebook, and GitHub repo are in [the post](https://research.googleblog.com/2018/04/mobilenetv2-next-generation-of-on.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__041218&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog).

#### [Cloud Functions for Firebase v1.0](https://firebase.googleblog.com/2018/04/launching-cloud-functions-for-firebase-1-0.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__041218&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog)

Cloud Functions for Firebase helps you build backend functionality for your app without worrying about managing servers. Version 1.0 of the Cloud Functions for Firebase SDK is now available with frequently requested improvements for the development, testing, and monitoring of Functions. More details are on [the post](https://firebase.googleblog.com/2018/04/launching-cloud-functions-for-firebase-1-0.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__041218&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog).

#### [Kubernetes Engine from GitLab](https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2018/04/now-you-can-deploy-to-Kubernetes-Engine-from-GitLab-with-a-few-clicks.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__041218&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog)

GitLab and Google Cloud recently announced a new integration of GitLab and Kubernetes Engine. You can now connect your Kubernetes Engine cluster to your GitLab project, then use it to run your continuous integration jobs and configure a complete continuous deployment pipeline including previewing your changes live and deploying them into production. Getting started instructions and screenshots are in [the post](https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2018/04/now-you-can-deploy-to-Kubernetes-Engine-from-GitLab-with-a-few-clicks.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__041218&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog).

#### [VPC Flow Logs](https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2018/04/introducing-VPC-Flow-Logs-network-transparency-in-near-real-time.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__041218&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog)

Logging and monitoring are the cornerstones of network and security operations, they let you identify traffic and access patterns that may present security or operational risks to the organization. We recently introduced VPC Flow Logs which increase transparency into your network and allow you to track network flows all the way down to an individual virtual interface in near-real-time. A flow chart and screengrab are in [the post](https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2018/04/introducing-VPC-Flow-Logs-network-transparency-in-near-real-time.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__041218&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog).
