10 years of cloud infrastructure with Eric Brewer

In this video, Google Cloud Developer Advocate, Stephanie Wong, speaks with Google Fellow, Eric Brewer, about his experience building infrastructure, including Kubernetes, over the last decade at Google. You’ll get a window into what it was like to help propel Kubernetes into one of the largest open source projects today.

Observing container environments with Cloud Operations

Did you know GKE isn’t the only place you can run containers in Google Cloud? In this episode of Engineering for Reliability, we show three options for running containers, as well as how to instrument each one for observability with Cloud Operations. Watch to learn how Cloud operations can help visualize metrics and analyze logs emitted by container workloads running on GKE, on Cloud Run, and on an Anthos cluster!

Monitoring compute infrastructure with the Cloud Ops Agent

How can you improve observability for workloads that use compute infrastructure directly and run on Google Compute Engine instances? In this episode of Engineering for Reliability, we show how you can use the Cloud Operations agent to do just that. Watch to learn about the Cloud Operations Agent, how to install it manually and automatically, and how to use the data it collects to improve the reliability of your services - and keep your users happy!

Maintaining reliable services with advanced Cloud Logging features

We’ve covered ingesting, routing, storing, and viewing logs from your services in Cloud Logging already, but what else can you do with all that data? In this episode of Engineering for Reliability, we show how you can use advanced features like alerting on logs, logs-based metrics, and capturing application exceptions in Error Reporting. Watch to learn how you can find issues faster, make your services more reliable, and keep your users happy.

Understanding Apigee API Monitoring

Want to make sure the APIs you’ve launched on Apigee are performing as expected? In this video, we show how API Monitoring provides real-time insights into API traffic and performance, so you can solve problems as they happen. Watch to learn how you can stay informed and understand unusual events or patterns.

Understand your services with Cloud Logging

What do you do when you know your service is having an issue? In this episode of Engineering for Reliability, we’ll show how you can use Cloud Logging to ingest, route, store, and view logs from your services and use them to fully understand application issues. Watch to learn how you can find issues faster, make your services more reliable, and keep your users happy.

Cloud Key Management in a minute

Cloud Key Management allows you to create, import, and manage cryptographic keys, as well as perform cryptographic operations in a single centralized cloud service. In this episode of Cloud Bytes, we show how you can centrally manage symmetric and asymmetric encryption keys for your cloud services. Watch and learn how you can quickly set up Cloud Key Management.

Distributed tracing with OpenTelemetry and Cloud Trace

As more services are involved in serving user traffic and completing transactions, how does each service contribute to overall latency? In this episode of Engineering for Reliability, we’ll show how to use distributed tracing to capture the latency of user requests and how long it takes each service in the path to return a response. Watch to learn how to capture latency in distributed applications using OpenTelemetry and analyze it using Cloud Trace.

Google Cloud Asset Inventory 101

Cloud Asset Inventory is a metadata inventory service that allows you to view, monitor, and analyze all your Google Cloud and Anthos assets across projects and services. In this video, Sophia Yang - a Google Cloud Product Manager - will show you how Cloud Asset Inventory allows you greater visibility into your Google Cloud assets, receive real-time notifications on asset config changes, run analysis on inventory, getting insights from your deployment, and more! Watch to learn how you can use Cloud Asset Inventory to gain greater observability into your Google Cloud and Anthos assets!
