Container-Optimized Compute Delivers Fast Autopilot Scaling

🚀 GKE Autopilot now runs on a container-optimized compute platform that rethinks autoscaling to deliver near-real-time capacity. The platform uses dynamically resizable VMs and a pool of pre-provisioned compute so nodes can be resized or allocated without disrupting workloads. Customers on GKE Autopilot 1.32+ get faster pod scheduling, improved HPA responsiveness, and support for in-place pod resize out of the box. Google recommends the general purpose compute class for small, gradually scaling services.

EuroDaT and Google Cloud: Secure Financial Data Exchange

🔒 EuroDaT, a state-owned data trustee, built safeAML with major German banks to enable controlled, pseudonymous transaction matching while preserving GDPR compliance. The cloud-native service runs on Google Cloud and Google Kubernetes Engine, using infrastructure-as-code, isolated VPCs and auditable processing so EuroDaT never accesses personal-data content. By letting banks request targeted supplementary information, safeAML accelerates suspicious-activity checks, reduces false positives and lays groundwork for wider use in ESG and health data sharing.

EuroDaT and Google Cloud: Secure Financial Data Exchange

🔐 EuroDaT describes how its safeAML platform, built on Google Cloud and Google Kubernetes Engine, enables controlled, pseudonymous exchange of sensitive transaction data between banks. Acting as a neutral data trustee, EuroDaT never accesses personal content while automating secure, auditable workflows that replace error-prone phone calls. Pilots with German banks show faster, more accurate suspicion assessments and lower false positives.

Skopeo for Google Cloud: Simplifying Container Workflows

📦 This post describes how Skopeo, a daemonless CLI for container images, can streamline image management with Artifact Registry and Google Cloud CI/CD. It outlines setup steps and five practical workflows—inspect manifests, registry-to-registry copying, listing tags, promoting images, and automated verification. The article also covers security integrations with tools like Cosign and Binary Authorization, and recommends Skopeo for faster, daemonless automation in Cloud Build and related environments.
