Google Cloud Launcher adds more container support

Google Cloud Launcher has more Google maintained containers including Cassandra, ElasticSearch, Jenkins, MySQL, and more. Google container solutions are managed by Google engineers and since we’re maintaining the images, the containers available on Google Cloud Launcher will be current with the latest application and security updates.

There are two announcements from Google Cloud Next London that I wanted to tell you about… First, Google Cloud Natural Language API is adding support for new languages and entity sentiment analysis. And second, Cloud Spanner is now generally available. Check out the details of both announcements on the post.

Google I/O is juuuuust around the corner — and if you’re like me, you like to go in prepared. Which is why we have an Android, iOS, and web app to help you customize your I/O schedule and get around the developer festival. Check out the screenshots and find the download links on the post.

Quizzes in Google Forms help teachers automate testing and give feedback to students faster by having Forms check responses against correct answers automatically. And now you can create these quizzes programmatically with Apps Script. More screenshots and code are on the post.

Next steps toward more connection security

Beginning in October 2017, Chrome will show the “Not secure” warning in two more situations: when users enter data on an HTTP page, and on all HTTP pages visited in Incognito mode. Which makes it a good time for me to say: HTTPS is easier and cheaper than ever before, and it enables both the best performance the web offers and powerful new features that are too sensitive for HTTP. Check out our set-up guides to get started. Everything’s linked from the post.

Manage gRPC APIs with Google Cloud Endpoints

You can define and run a gRPC API and serve both gRPC and JSON-HTTP/1.1 to your clients using Google Cloud Endpoints! More details are on the post.
