TL;DR 113 — May 31st, 2018

Learn Kotlin Fast

There’s a new Kotlin Bootcamp course on Udacity. It’s free, self-paced, and teaches you everything you need to know to program in Kotlin. A link to the course is on the post.

The Firebase Cloud Messaging v1 REST API has integrated fully with the Web Notifications API. So you can now set icons, images, actions and more for your Web notifications from your server. Sample code and links to screenshots are on the post.

ML specialization on Coursera

We’ve developed a set of five of deep-dive courses to help you build production-ready machine learning models that scale. They’re based on the same content that has trained thousands of Google engineers and they’re available as a machine learning specialization on Coursera. Course highlights and a link to get started are on the post.

Cloud ML Engine

Cloud ML Engine enables you to train and deploy machine learning models on datasets of many types and sizes, using the flexibility and production-readiness of TensorFlow. And now Cloud ML Engine offers the option to accelerate training with Cloud TPUs as a beta feature. Getting started is easy, since Cloud TPU quota is now available to all GCP customers. The guide to get started is linked from the post.

Google Kubernetes Engine 1.10

Google Kubernetes Engine 1.10 is now generally available. Along with this, we are introducing new features to support enterprise use cases including Shared Virtual Private Cloud for better control of your network resources, Regional Persistent Disks and Regional Clusters for higher-availability and stronger SLAs, and Node Auto-Repair GA and Custom Horizontal Pod Autoscaler for greater automation.

Chrome 64 Beta

Chrome 64 Beta has a stronger pop-up blocker, supports Resize Observer to give web applications finer control to observe changes to sizes of elements on a page, supports import.meta to make it easier to access host-specific metadata about the current module, and more. All the details are on the post.

.app

.app is the newest top-level domain from Google Registry and it’s now open for general registration. The link is on the post.

Firebase party at WWDC18

If you’re heading to WWDC this year, join us at the Firebase party on June 4th to hang out with other developers, meet engineers and product leads from the Firebase team, and relax after the first day of WWDC. Head on over to the post to request an invite.

Alias IPs, now with hot standby

On Google Cloud Platform, Alias IPs allow you to configure secondary IPs or IP ranges on your virtual machine instances, for a secure and highly scalable way to deliver traffic to your applications. You can now dynamically add and remove alias IP ranges for existing, running VMs, so that you can migrate your applications from one VM to another in the event of a software or machine failure. Graphs and example commands are on the post.

The new App Engine scheduler

We’ve rolled out the next generation scheduler for App Engine standard environment and our tests show that it delivers better scaling performance, more efficient resource consumption, and lower costs for you. Check out the post for metrics and links to get started.

Stackdriver logs and structured data

Logs contain some of the most valuable data available, particularly when troubleshooting an incident. And structured log data is even more powerful, enabling you to extract the most valuable data from your logs. We recently announced new features so you can better use structured log data; such as the ability to add custom fields in the Logs Viewer in Stackdriver. Take a look at the post for screenshots and steps to get started.

Chrome’s security indicators

HTTPS usage on the web has taken off as we’ve evolved Chrome security indicators. Later this year, we’ll be taking several more steps along this path. To learn more about the changes and get the link to our set-up guides for HTTPs, head on over to the post.

Primer

Over one billion people in the world have some form of disability. Building products that don’t consider a diverse range of needs could mean missing a substantial group of potential users and customers. But don’t worry, we’re here to help. We recently launched a new suite of resources to help you make your products and designs more accessible. Links to those resources are on the post.
