Private Service Connect (PSC) is a Google Cloud networking product that enables you to access Google Cloud services, third-party partner services, and company-owned applications directly from your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). PSC helps your network traffic remain secure by keeping it entirely within the Google Cloud network, allowing you to avoid public data transfer and save on egress costs. With PSC, producers can host services in their own VPCs and offer a private connection to their customers.

In the digital era, where data reigns supreme, the ability to extract meaningful insights from vast datasets has become indispensable. Though we have many data sources and data processing languages, SQL (Structured Query Language) stands as a cornerstone in this realm, empowering analysts, and data scientists to navigate through intricate databases with ease.

Serverless architectures have revolutionized how businesses deploy applications, offering scalability and cost efficiency by abstracting infrastructure management. This model, charging only for resources consumed, poses unique budgeting and cost optimization challenges due to its variable pricing structure. Navigating cloud costs in a serverless environment requires a nuanced understanding of leveraging this technology’s benefit while effectively managing expenses.

In the world of Kubernetes, scale-down operations are crucial for optimizing resource usage and reducing costs. The scale-down process involves identifying underutilized nodes and efficiently bin-packing the pods to minimize the number of nodes required.

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, the demand for skilled professionals in the data centre industry has never been higher. And it's not just in our sector, sourcing technical talent and strategies to attract and retain them continues to be an issue in most sectors as a recent Deloitte article highlighted.

Clouds, be they private or public, surprisingly remain one of the most DIY-favouring markets. Perhaps due to the nebulous and increasingly powerful technologies, a series of myths, or even unnecessary egos, the majority of non-tech-centric enterprises (meaning, companies whose primary business scope rests outside the realm of IT software and hardware) still try to build and nurture in-house cloud management teams, without considering outsourcing even part of their workload.

As a recovering practitioner, one of the things I was always less than thrilled to do was patching. I dreaded having to run updates, ensure everything was configured correctly, and finding windows of time to reboot without knocking an application offline. Just like your cloud workloads — everything changes when it has to be done at scale. Kubernetes has always been built around the DevOps concepts of rapid development, delivery, and iteration.
