Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE) allows a user to deploy a managed VMware environment within an Enterprise Cloud Solution. We’ve put together a new white paper, “Google Cloud VMware Engine Performance Migration & Benchmarks,” to help our customers better understand the architecture, its performance, and the benefits. If you’re not familiar with Google Cloud VMware Engine yet, let’s talk a bit more about it.Utilizing Google Cloud lets you access existing services and cloud capabilities; one of those services and solutions mentioned within this document is our Hybrid Cloud Extension, also known as HCX. HCX provides you with an easier transition from on-prem to the cloud, allowing systems administrators to quickly deploy a private cloud and scale their needed Virtual Machines accordingly. The proposed referenced solution is well suited for organizations looking to begin their cloud migration journey and understand the technical requirements within the process without having to be fully committed to their cloud strategy or evacuation data center strategy.Currently, many organizations are navigating their way through their current IT challenges and cloud solutions. Google Cloud VMware Engine provides you the “easy on-ramp” to migrate your workloads into the cloud. You don’t have to move everything to the cloud at once, though, because GCVE provides the option to scale your IT infrastructure from on-prem to the cloud at your discretion by leveraging HCX. HCX also lets you migrate a virtual machine from on-premise to the cloud via a VPN or internet connection without any additional downtime or having to save their work and log off of their machine. With GCVE, you can continue to work during your business hours and operations while your systems administrators migrate your teams to the cloud without the downtime associated with virtual machine migration.The ability to migrate a virtual machine from on-prem to the cloud raises another question: how fast can a targeted virtual machine migrate to the cloud? Google analyzed this specific scenario, assessing what the requirements were to migrate an on-prem virtual machine to the cloud via a Virtual Private Network (VPN), and then analyzing how fast that connection was established and transmitted through HCX. The answer to that question—and more—is all contained within our brand new white paper, “Google Cloud VMware Engine Performance Migration & Benchmarks,“ which you can download now. And if you’re ready to get started with your migration efforts, sign up for a free discovery and assessment with our migration experts.Related ArticleHow Google Cloud and partners can accelerate your migration successLearn more about our updates to RAMP, our holistic, end-to-end migration program to help customers simplify and accelerate their path to …Read Article

Organizations need a cloud platform that can securely scale from on-premises, to edge, to cloud while remaining open to change, choice, and customization. They must be able to run their applications wherever they need, on infrastructure optimized to process a very high volume of data with minimal delay, all while maintaining the satisfaction and stability of their ML-driven user experiences. At Google, we deeply understand these customer requirements, which is why we launched Google Distributed Cloud last year. With Google Distributed Cloud, we bring a portfolio of fully managed solutions to extend our infrastructure to the edge and into customers’ own data centers. Today, Google Cloud customers love our artificial intelligence (AI) services for building, deploying and scaling more effective AI models with developers successfully using our core machine learning (ML) services to build and train high-quality custom ML models. Our customers are also using a variety of our managed database solutions because of their simplicity and reliability. However, some customers have highly sensitive workloads and desire to use their own private, dedicated facilities. For these customers, we’re excited to announce they will be able to run a selection of these same AI, ML, and database services in Google Distributed Cloud Hosted inside their own data centers within the next year. With this announcement, customers get to take advantage of Anthos, a common management control plane which provides a consistent development and operations experience across hybrid environments. This same experience is now available for on premise environments.Our portfolio of AI, ML, and database products enable customers to quickly deploy services with out-of-box simplicity that includes delivering valuable insights through both unstructured and structured data. The integration of our Google Cloud AI and database solutions into the Google Distributed Cloud portfolio means the ability to harness real-time data insights like never before due to the proximity to where the data is being generated and consumed. This includes ensuring low latency to support applications that are mission critical to businesses such as computer vision, which can be used on the factory floor to detect flaws in products or to index large amounts of video. The addition of these transformative capabilities allow customers to save money, innovate faster and provide the greatest flexibility and choice. With this integration, customers using Google Distributed Cloud Hosted will have access to some exciting AI features. One example is our Translation API that can instantly translate texts in more than one hundred languages. Translation API is a feature available in Vertex AI, our managed ML platform that is generally available and allows companies to accelerate the deployment and maintenance of AI models. With this announcement, customers who need to run highly sensitive workloads in an on-premise or edge environment can now leverage the unique functionality of Translation API along with other Google Cloud pre-trained API’s in Vertex AI such as Speech-to-Text and optical character recognition (OCR). These features were all trained on our planet-scale infrastructure to deliver the highest level of performance, and as always, all of our new AI products also adhere to our AI Principles. Additionally, by incorporating our managed databases offering onto the Google Distributed Cloud portfolio, customers can process data locally to migrate or modernize applications, opening up more time for innovation and to create value in their applications. This is especially true in industries like financial services and healthcare where there are compliance requirements on where data can reside. With these new AI, ML and databases products available in our Google Distributed Cloud portfolio, customers will still have full authority to maintain autonomy and control over their own data centers, yet can rely on Google for the latest technology innovations in cloud services.

May was another big month for us, even as we get ready for more industry work and engagement at the RSA Security Conference in San Francisco. At our Security Summit and throughout the past month, we continued to launch new security products and features, and increased service and support for all our Google Cloud and Google Workspace customers. Google Cloud’s Security Summit 2022Our second annual Security Summit held on May 17 was a great success. In the days leading up to the Summit, we discussed how we are working to bring Zero Trust policies to government agencies, and we revealed our partnership with AMD to further advance Confidential Computing – including an in-depth review focused on the implementation of the AMD secure processor in the third generation AMD EPYC processor family. We also introduced the latest advancements in our portfolio of security solutions. These include our new Assured Open Source Software service (Assured OSS), which enables enterprise and public sector users of open source software to incorporate the same OSS packages that Google uses into our own developer workflows; extending Autonomic Security Operations (ASO) to the U.S. public sector, a solution framework to modernize cybersecurity analytics and threat management that’s aligned with the Zero Trust and supply-chain security objectives of 2021’s cybersecurity Executive Order and the Office of Management and Budget memorandum; expanding our compliance with government software standards; and SAML support for Workload Identity Federation, so that customers can use a SAML-based identity provider to reduce their use of long-lived service account keys. Advancing open source software securityWe continued to partner with the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF,) the Linux Foundation, and other organizations at another industry open source security summit to further develop the initiatives discussed during January’s White House Summit on Open Source Security. We’re working towards the goal of making sure that every open source developer has effortless access to end-to-end security by default. As covered in our Security Summit, an important part of this effort is Assured OSS, which leverages Google’s extensive security experience and can help organizations reduce their need to develop, maintain, and operate complex processes to secure their open source dependencies. Assured OSS is expected to enter Preview in Q3 2022.Also, as part of our commitment to improving software supply-chain security, the Open Source Insights project helps developers better understand the structure and security of the software they use. We introduced Open Source Insights data in BigQuery in May so that anyone can use Google Cloud BigQuery to explore and analyze the dependencies, advisories, ownership, license and other metadata of open-source packages across supported ecosystems, and how this metadata has changed over time. Why Confidential Computing and our partnership with AMD mattersI’d like to take a moment to share a bit more on the importance of Confidential Computing and our partnership with AMD. I’ve been talking a lot this year about why we as an industry need to evolve our understanding of shared responsibility into shared fate. The former assigns responsibilities to either the cloud provider or the cloud provider’s customer, but shared fate is a more resilient cybersecurity mindset. It’s a closer partnership between cloud provider and customer that emphasizes secure-by-default configurations, secure blueprints and policy hierarchies, consistently available advanced security features, high assurance attestation of controls, and insurance partnerships.In our collaboration with AMD, we focused on how secure isolation has always been critical to our cloud infrastructure, and how Confidential Computing cryptographically reinforces that secure isolation. AMD’s firmware and product security teams, Google Project Zero, and the Google Cloud Security team collaborated for several months to analyze the technologies and firmware that AMD contributes to Google Cloud’s Confidential Computing services. Also in May, we expanded the availability of Confidential Computing to include N2D and C2D Virtual Machines, which run on third-generation AMD EPYC™ processors.GCAT HighlightsHere are the latest updates, products, services and resources from our cloud security teams this month: SecurityPSP protocol now open source: In order to better scale the security we offer our customers, we created a new cryptographic offload protocol for internal use that we open sourced in May. Intentionally designed to meet the requirements of large-scale data-center traffic, the PSP Protocol is a TLS-like protocol that is transport-independent, enables per-connection security, and is offload-friendly. Updating Siemplify SOAR: The future of security teams is heading towards “anywhere operations,” and the latest version of Siemplify SOAR can help get us there. It gives organizations the building blocks needed across cloud infrastructure, automation, collaboration, and analytics to accelerate processes for more timely responses and automated workflows. In turn, this can free up teams to focus on more strategic work.Guardrails and governance for Terraform: Popular open-source Infrastructure-as-Code tool Terraform can increase agility and reduce errors by automating the deployment of infrastructure and services that are used together to deliver applications. Our new tool verifies Terraform and can help reduce misconfigurations of Google Cloud resources that violate any of your organization’s policies. Benchmarking Container-Optimized OS: As part of our security-first approach to safeguarding customer data while also making it more scalable, we want to make sure that our Container-Optimized OS is in line with industry-standard best practices. To this end, the Google Cloud Security team has released a new CIS benchmark that clarifies and codifies the security measures we have been using, and makes recommendations for hardening. New reCAPTCHA Enterprise guidebook: Identifying when a fraudster is on the other end of the computer is a complex endeavor. Our new reCAPTCHA Enterprise guidebook helps organizations identify a broad range of online fraud and strengthen their website security.Take the State of DevOps 2022 survey: The State of DevOps report by Google Cloud and the DORA research team is the largest and longest running research of its kind, with inputs from more than 32,000 professionals worldwide. This year will focus on how security practices and capabilities predict overall software delivery and operations performance, so be sure to share your thoughts with us.Industry updatesSecurity improvements to Google Workspace: I wrote at the beginning of the year that data sovereignty is one of the major, driving megatrends shaping our industry today. At the beginning of May we announced Sovereign Controls for Google Workspace, which can provide digital sovereignty capabilities for organizations, both in the public and private sector, to control, limit, and monitor transfers of data to and from the EU starting at the end of 2022, with additional capabilities delivered throughout 2023. This commitment builds on our existing Client-side encryption, Data regions, and Access Controls capabilities. We are also extending Chrome’s Security Insights to Google Cloud and Google Workspace products, as part of our efforts to consistently provide advanced features to our customers. Can you hear the security now? Pindrop is joining forces with Google Cloud. If you’ve never heard of Pindrop, you’ve almost certainly encountered their technology, which is used to authenticate payments, place restaurant and shopping orders, and check financial accounts over the phone. Their technology provides the backbone for anti-fraud efforts in voice-based controls, as well. With Google Cloud, Pindrop can be better able to detect deep fakes and robocalls, help banks authenticate transactions, and provide retailers with secure AI-powered call center support.Compliance & Controls Expanding public sector and government compliance: Google Cloud is committed to providing government agencies with the security capabilities they need to achieve their missions. In addition to our aforementioned Autonomic Security Operations and new Assured Open Source Software (OSS) service, we’re expanding Assured Workloads. This can help enable regulated workloads to run securely at scale in Google Cloud’s infrastructure. We are also pleased to announce that 14 new Google Cloud services support FedRAMP Moderate and three services are being added to support FedRAMP High, with more coming this summer. (You can read the full list of those services at the end of this blog.) Next month we’ll recap highlights from the RSA Conference and much more.
