Application slowdowns, poor Internet speed, and laggy video calls are always frustrating. Whether you’re working in an office, or working from home, it’s important to keep an eye on the applications that matter most. In this article, we’re teaching you how to monitor the network performance of Google apps, including Google Meet, Google Workspace, Gmail & Google Calendar.
Cloud migration is, more often than not, treated as a one-way street where organizations migrate applications and workloads from on-premises to a public cloud, or less often, from one public cloud to another.

A data center migration into the cloud is often a daunting business initiative that can take years as you transition your existing hardware, software, networking, and operations into a brand new environment. In our roles with Google Cloud’s Professional Services organization, we work side by side with customers to collaboratively architect and enable data center migrations into Google Cloud. Over the years, we’ve participated in multiple migration journeys, and devised a general approach.
With increasing complexity and workloads, the world of IT operations is constantly evolving to meet the needs of digital-first organizations. Automation, AI and DevOps are intersecting today like never before. A constant influx of new technologies means new terms. Here's our take on the meaning of leading words and phrases in the space right now.
This is an example machine learning image recognition stack using AWS Lambda Container Images. Lambda container images can include more source assets than traditional ZIP packages (10 GB vs 250 MB image sizes), allowing for larger ML models to be used. This example contains an AWS Lambda function that uses the Open Images Dataset TensorFlow model to detect objects in an image.
Driving productivity of software development and delivery teams is critical for any organization. The six years of research by DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) showcases the role easy-to-use tooling plays in driving this productivity and in turn a better work/life balance for the team. The research finds that highest performing teams are 1.5x more likely to have tools they consider easy to use.
