  • What is Web3?

    Web3 is an umbrella term for technologies like blockchain that decentralize data ownership and control on the internet. Most internet applications are controlled by centralized entities that determine how they save and use end-user data. Instead of centralized management structures, Web3 (also called Web 3.0, decentralized web, or semantic web) technologies allow for community-driven projects.…

  • colocation facility

    Before you set up Dedicated Interconnect, your network must physically meet Google’s network in a supported colocation facility, also known as a connection location. This facility is where a vendor, the colocation facility provider, provisions a circuit between your network and a Google Edge point of presence (PoP). It is important to generate LOA for…

  • Cloud SQL Insights

    Query Insights helps you detect, diagnose, and prevent query performance problems for Cloud SQL databases. It supports intuitive monitoring and provides diagnostic information that helps you go beyond detection to identify the root cause of performance problems.

  • Installing Kubernetes with GKE

    Once you have gcloud installed, set a default zone: Then you can create a cluster: This will take a few minutes. When the cluster is ready, you can get credentials for the cluster using:

  • Transfers for Large Files

    The previous recipe covered transfers with a large number of operations; this one is targeted at individual large files. Upload the file as several simultaneous chunks and observe transfer speed. If your previous upload saturated your link, you may not see a performance increase. You’ll notice we set the file size threshold that triggers parallel…

  • Transfers by Multiprocessing

    Add -m to multiprocess your transfer and observe greatly increased speed: Adding -m to the gsutil causes most commands to run in parallel, using a combination of multithreading and multiprocessing. The number of threads and processes are set by parallel_thread_count and parallel_process_count. These can be set in your .boto configuration file or set on the command line with the -o option flag. In general, if you…

  • Cloud Logging practice

    Only logs that contain log entries are listed. Kubernetes events:

  • APIs vs. Console

    APIs/commands offer more flexibility and control than the console.

  • Backing Up VMs

    Using Compute Engine persistent disk snapshots, you will create a snapshot of the virtual machine’s persistent disk to have a recovery point of the disk in the event of mishap.

  • Patch Management

    Problem You host your virtual machines on Compute Engine, and you need a method for patching all the operating systems at once. Solution Using OS patch management with VM Manager, create a patch job to patch your fleet of Linux virtual machines. OS patch management also supports Windows virtual machines.
