Announced during the Google Cloud Platform Live event in San Francisco, Google will be offering new services and offering price cuts to various services.
Price reductions include 47% to Network egress, 23% to BigQuery storage, 79% to Persistent Disk Snapshots , 48% to Persistent Disk SSD and 25% to Cloud SQL.
The alpha release of the Google Container Engine is based on the open source Kubernetes project and running on Google Compute Engine VMs. The Container Engine is a fully managed service building and running Docker container-based applications.
New VP Brian Stevens notes that the company has been managing containers for years and that "Google is no stranger to containers." In fact, "two billion containers are launched each week."
The Container engine is essentially finding clusters to run systems opposed to checking individual machines by adding integration with command line tools.
More cloud connections
Google also announced three new options for Google Cloud Interconnect.
Direct Peering is a network that pipes directly to Google in over 70 points of presence in 33 countries around the world.
Carrier Interconnect connects to Google through seven new carrier partners including Verizon, Equinix, IX Reach, Level 3, TATA Communications, Telx and Zayo.
Lastly, VPN Connectivity is a VPN-based connectivity for customers to create a secure line directly to Google over the public Internet; VPN Connectivity will be introduced next month.
