This week's Google Cloud Innovators update highlights several new features and updates. Vertex AI Model Monitoring has been enhanced to improve monitoring of models in production. Newcomers can now try Vertex AI without creating an account or signing in. Single zone instances are now available for managed Redis. IAM conditions can now be used to control access to BigQuery resources. A new fleet-level feature manager for GKE allows for consistent behavior across Kubernetes clusters. The Google Cloud community shares insights on retrieval augmented generation (RAG), proactive security alerts in Security Command Center, and testing SQL queries with BigTesty. Learning opportunities include building AI chatbots with BigQuery, understanding cross-cloud networking, leveraging Cloud Run for AI applications, and grounding Vertex AI results with Google Search. Additionally, Google Cloud has partnered with Oracle to offer a range of database and connectivity options.
