2013 Year in review: taking Google Cloud Platform on the road

Posted on 06:00 by Unknown
2013 was a busy year for Google Cloud Platform. Watch this space: each day, a different Googler who works on Cloud Platform will be sharing his or her highlight from the past year.



My highlight of this year was leading Google Cloud Platform talks and code labs in five cities around the world. Myself and colleagues gave talks about Google Compute Engine, App Engine, and the services that glue the fabric of the platform together. We had a great time speaking with all of the attendees, but my favorite part of this tour happened during one of the Google Compute Engine code labs. Attendees were each processing astronomical data on a virtual machine and generating an image of a section of the universe, which was then pulled into a overall collage of the images. However, one of our attendees was feeling a bit mischievous, and replaced his image with -- what else? -- an image of a cat! Well played, very well played.
