A great simplification for configuring IAM policy on Google Cloud: use Workload Identity Federation for GKE and reference your k8s resources directly! Check out this explanation in the video. youtube.com/watch?v=Gx_Msdeo… #k8s #security #gke #iam #workloadidentity #oidc #googlecloud

I have been talking to a decent amount of GKE customers about how to build an inferencing platform on GKE that can handle for GPU stockouts so I threw a quick demo together. GKE Fleets and Multi Cluster Gateway can serve a inferencing model from multiple clusters behind a single global loadbalancer. Each inference server in each cluster has an HPA and the Gateway algo will send you to the closest server. Take a look at how the system response to a load test. Not too shabby right :)

"With one [committed use discount] purchase, you can cover eligible spend on all three products: Compute Engine, GKE, and Cloud Run." < great deal that protects you from the risk of buying discounts for a single service
GKE Autopilot is now part of the Compute flexible committed use discount (CUD). A single CUD purchase can now be used across GKE (both Standard and Autopilot modes), Cloud Run, and Compute Engine. cloud.google.com/blog/produc…
