TL;DR 121 — July 26, 2018
#### [DevFest 2018](https://developers.googleblog.com/2018/07/devfest-2018-kickoff.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__072618&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog) DevFest 2018 is the largest annual community event series for the Google Developer Groups program and will run from August to November. Head on over to [the post for more information](https://developers.googleblog.com/2018/07/devfest-2018-kickoff.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__072618&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog) or to find an event near you. #### [Cirq: An Open Source Framework for NISQ Algorithms](https://ai.googleblog.com/2018/07/announcing-cirq-open-source-framework.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__072618&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog) The Google AI Quantum team recently announced the public alpha of Cirq, an open source framework for Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum, or NISQ, computers. Cirq is focused on near-term questions and helping you understand whether NISQ quantum computers are capable of solving computational problems of practical importance. It’s licensed under Apache 2, and is free to be modified or embedded in any commercial or open source package. [The GitHub link is on the post](https://ai.googleblog.com/2018/07/announcing-cirq-open-source-framework.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__072618&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog). #### [Commercial Kubernetes apps in GCP Marketplace](https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2018/07/introducing-commercial-kubernetes-applications-in-gcp-marketplace.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__072618&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog) Production-ready commercial Kubernetes apps are now available right from our marketplace, bringing you simplified deployment, billing, and third-party licensing. Now you can find the solution you need in Google Cloud Platform Marketplace and deploy quickly on Kubernetes clusters running on Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes Engine, on-prem, or even other public clouds. Links to the marketplace and apps are [on the post](https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2018/07/introducing-commercial-kubernetes-applications-in-gcp-marketplace.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__072618&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog). #### [Cloud Spanner adds import/export](https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2018/07/cloud-spanner-adds-import-export-functionality-to-ease-data-movement.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__072618&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog) You can now import and export data easily in the Cloud Spanner Console. This includes exporting any Cloud Spanner database into a Google Cloud Storage bucket and importing files from a GCS bucket into a new Cloud Spanner database. For more details and links to the docs, head on over to [the post](https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2018/07/cloud-spanner-adds-import-export-functionality-to-ease-data-movement.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__072618&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog). #### [ultramem machine types](https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2018/07/now-shipping-ultramem-machine-types-with-up-to-4tb-of-ram.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__072618&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog) Google Compute Engine “ultramem” memory-optimized machine types are now generally available. This means you can now provision ultramem VMs with up to 160 vCPUs and nearly 4TB of memory. That’s the most vCPUs you can provision on-demand in any public cloud. To get started, head on over to [the post](https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2018/07/now-shipping-ultramem-machine-types-with-up-to-4tb-of-ram.html?utm_campaign=devshow_series__072618&utm_source=gdev&utm_medium=blog). #### Like these updates?
