🚀 Join the GKE Turns 10 Hackathon to build next‑generation microservices enhanced with agentic AI. Google provides sample applications (Bank of Anthos or Online Boutique), example agents on GitHub, documentation, quickstarts and a webinar to help teams get started. Submissions must run on GKE and use Google AI models such as Gemini, with agents interacting via APIs rather than altering core application code. Participants may also use the Agent Development Kit (ADK), Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent2Agent (A2A) to extend functionality.

🚀 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, 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 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.

🔔 Google Cloud published a consolidated roundup of product releases and previews from early July through Aug 22, 2025, covering GA launches, public previews, and platform enhancements. Highlights include Earth Engine in BigQuery (GA), Vertex AI embedding scaling, new GKE features for NUMA alignment and swap, expanded NodeConfig controls, and Cloud Run with GPUs. Customers should review the linked documentation, request preview access via account teams where needed, and plan upgrades or migrations accordingly.
