Business Challenge
Dienst ICT Uitvoering (DICTU), is the information and communication technology shared-services organization within the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs. It is undergoing a digital transformation aimed at enhancing service delivery to citizens, businesses, and government agencies. Over the next few years, DICTU is building a private cloud to migrate more than 5,000 servers from its traditional IT environment. During the transition, DICTU must efficiently manage both cloud and traditional environments, which include 12,000 workstations, 830 specialized applications, and data connections at over 200 locations.
BMC Solution
DICTU has implemented Cloud Lifecycle Management and TrueSight Operations Management to accelerate delivery of services while improving end-to-end visibility, monitoring, and control across all components of the IT environment, both traditional and cloud.
Business Impact
BMC Digital Enterprise Management solutions will enable DICTU to automate the request and fulfillment process for delivering development platforms to DICTU developers. A developer can now request a complete infrastructure or application environment from the service catalog and receive it within a few hours.
- Automated request and fulfillment capabilities have slashed service delivery times from two weeks to three hours.
- Service cost showback has provided cost transparency and a foundation for chargeback.
- Comprehensive end-to-end monitoring with intelligent event and impact management are accelerating problem diagnosis and resolution.
"Our early successes are generating forward momentum for digital transformation. These successes combined with DICTU's entrepreneurial spirit are propelling us forward as we bring more and more services to the cloud."— Wout van Wijngaarden, CTO, DICTU

Arriving by Plane
Airport Stuttgart

continuing by taxi:
Airport Frankfurt
continuing by train:
Arriving by Train
Intercity trains, including the high-speed ICE service, will bring you to Stuttgart main station, from where a local train takes about an hour to reach Tübingen. You will arrive at the Tübingen Central Station. From here the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems can be reached by taxi (10 minutes) or by bus (20 to 30 minutes including walking and waiting times). The bus station and taxi rank are both directly opposite the main exit of Tübingen station.
Arriving by Bus
Starting at the main station in Tübingen with bus no. 3 in the direction of "Ulmenweg" to the bus stop "Max Planck Institute" it takes about 15 minutes to reach the campus. From the bus stop you need to walk about 100 meters downhill and then pass the central parking lot to the right and follow the stairways down to the Max Planck Campus.
Alternatively, you can take bus no. 4 in the direction of "WHO Ulmenweg" until you reach the bus stop "Corrensstraße" or "Niethammerstraße". Across the road from this bus stop, a flight of steps leads uphill through some trees. Follow these steps until you reach the street called Spemannstraße. Take care in winter as the steps are not cleared. The Max Planck Campus lies to your right-hand side. In both cases you have about a 5- to 10-minute walk from the bus stop to the campus.
Arriving by Car
The fastest connection to Tübingen is the federal highway B27. Leave highway A8 at the slip road Nr. 52 "Stuttgart Degerloch" and follow the road signs saying "Tübingen/Reutlingen, B27". The drive to Tübingen takes about 30 minutes from here. The federal highway B27 has four lanes and does not pass through any towns, nevertheless you should expect traffic hold ups during the rush hour.

Vail Valley Voices: Haymeadow deliberations loom
Vail, CO, Colorado
At the latest Eagle Board of Trustee meeting, there was a full board present. This was important given the final public comment and review of the staff conditions on the Haymeadow sketch plan proposal.
Deliberations were set to begin, as well, if time permitted, which seemed possible given the light agenda. Public comment started off things. Roxie Deane, former mayor and Town Board member, requested and received approval for $2,500 on behalf of the Eagle Valley High School Foundation for replacing the trophy cases at Eagle Valley High School.
Scott Turner, http://www.scott
turner4da.com, then introduced himself as a candidate for district attorney. After public comment, the Town Board, acting as the liquor licensing authority in Eagle, approved the Eagle Diner's license after a few questions about the process and paperwork provided on this particular file.
Next up was a discussion about the travel management plan. This topic was brought up as a result of the controversial Hernage Trail proposal recent denial at the Planning and Zoning Commission level. There was no item to be voted on, but instead, it was approximately a 45-minute discussion on updating the plan, allowing the Board of Trustees to have final say in such decisions, and working with the Planning and Zoning Commission to ensure everyone is on the same page regarding the overall stated goal of the town related to recreation tourism.
Staff was provided direction, and this topic should be revisited in the future, sooner rather than later, if Mayor Kostick and Trustee Turnipseed have their preference.
The lower basin wastewater treatment plant special use permit had been advertised, so that file needed to be opened and continued as the discussion was pushed to a future meeting as noted on the agenda.
The Haymeadow file started off with public comment and ended without the board starting deliberations, but the 50 staff conditions were reviewed and amended. At the next hearing, deliberations should begin on the sketch plan proposal of 979 homes located near the ice rink.
Open discussion was light, but budget work session dates were set, and the board received a draft of the 2013 budget. If you want to hear the Haymeadow deliberations or find out what else is happening with your tax dollars in Eagle, come to the next meeting on Tuesday, starting at 6 p.m. at 200 Broadway. Or if you want to follow my personal adventures of being a trustee, check out my blog at http://www.brandionboard.wordpress.com
See ya'll at Town Hall!

PhotoPlus Expo 2011: Show Wrap Up
PhotoPlus Expo wrapped up over the weekend and we're recapping the show with a look at new bags from Lowepro, a peek at some new Zeiss glass and a brief hands-on with the new wireless Panasonic Lumix X90.
Lowepro unveiled the Pro Messenger AW and Pro Roller Lite series. The Pro Roller Lite 150 AW and 250 AW are designed as carry-on luggage pieces with padded compartments especially for camera gear. The 150 AW is somewhat smaller and will accommodate an 11-inch laptop, several lenses and a pro DSLR mounted to a 70-200mm lens. The larger Pro Roller Lite 250 AW will fit up to a 15-inch notebook along with many more lenses, accessories and DSLR bodies. Each piece weighs less than 10 lbs without gear.
The Pro Messenger bag has a unique flap design. It can be fastened either by Velcro, or if that's not preferable, can be folded over to attach by magnet. It's made with a durable canvas-like polyester and the interior pocket can be-reconfigured to the user's liking.
Kata brought new messengers and backpacks to PhotoPlus, including the Light-Pic. It's designed to appeal to the female photographer. When not utilized as a camera bag, it can convert to a shoulder bag. We also looked at the MultiPro, a new light and durable backpack with a dedicated laptop pocket.
Panasonic Lumix FX90 Hands-on
The FX90 isn't the first WiFi connected camera by any means. Several manufacturers have attempted before without gaining much traction among consumers. Manufacturers have struggled to compete with increasingly capable smartphone cameras that are constantly connected. Panasonic's answer, for now, is the Lumix FX90. It's able to connect with WiFi networks and establish a link to your iPhone or Android powered smartphones, making it possible to snap a photo with your camera and share it with your phone.
This doesn't solve the problem of the extra device. More and more consumers are ditching point-and-shoots in favor of their phones. Rather than carrying two devices, they're down to just one. Panasonic engineers are hoping that there are enough users who would carry both a phone and a camera for the added image quality benefits of a dedicated phone.
There are challenges ahead of the FX90 for sure, but for the moment we took a quick look at the camera's sleek exterior. Favoring a smartphone approach, the FX90 has very few buttons and controls. It has a 3.0-inch touch display and a small WiFi button to the right of the screen.
From the front, it looks like any other Lumix point-and-shoot, except for the "Wireless" designation on the right side of the camera. On the top deck you'll find on/off and zoom controls, a dedicated video button and the shutter. The Lumix FX90 sports a reasonably fast f/2.5 5x optical zoom lens and will record 1080 HD video. The system is built around a 12.1 megapixel CCD sensor.
Carl Zeiss F/2 25mm
Canon and Nikon shooters will be able to pick up a new Zeiss lens soon – the F/2 25mm. It's quite heavy, weighing in around 600 grams. Even with just a few moments to pick it up and play with it at the show, it left a good impression. Build quality is everything you'd expect from Zeiss and coupled with a Canon 5D it was tough to put this one down and hand it back to its caretakers.
See you at CES 2012
The last major photo tradeshow of the year has wrapped, which means one thing – it's time to look ahead to CES 2012. This year's show is coupled with PMA, so you can expect plenty of new point-and-shoots and some notable ILC announcements at the beginning of January. We'll see you in Vegas.

It's fir real: a home-grown Christmas tree is greener than the fakes
REAL versus fake? When it comes to Christmas trees, the answer is a ''no-brainer'', says Peter Ampt, a University of Sydney expert. ''Real is greener, for sure.''
Most real trees sold in Sydney are grown locally and the required transportation is minimal. In contrast, the majority of artificial trees are made in China, using aluminium and plastics, requiring energy to transport, manufacture and ship to markets around the world, said Mr Ampt, who lectures in natural resource management.
According to the Canadian consultants Ellipsos, a family would have to use a fake tree for 20 years before it would become ''greener'' than a real tree in terms of climate change.
Not quite, said the lobby group representing the US artificial tree industry. Its study found it took only 10 years before a fake tree beat a real one when it came to carbon emissions.
Over a six-year period, Ellipsos found real trees had only one-third of the impact on climate change and resources during their life cycles. They had a positive impact during growth because they stored carbon dioxide, while the biggest cost to the environment was when customers drove them home.
In contrast, fake trees were most harmful during their production stage. Fakes produced about 8.1 kilograms of carbon dioxide a year compared to only 3.1 kilograms for the real tree.
For one Dural family, it's all about the smell. After comparing real and artificial trees, Lucy Losurdo, her husband Joe and three children chose a real tree.
''We walked in tonight, and the smell of tree, it is just beautiful. It smells like Christmas,'' said Mrs Losurdo.
Had she considered which was greener? Not really, although she knew the Dural Christmas Tree Farm, where she bought the tree, would recycle it at no cost.
''It doesn't matter how many times you put it [a fake tree] up and pull it down, it is never going to smell like the real one,'' said Lynette Demasi, whose family owns the farm.
For more than five years, the Dural company supplied a real tree to the Lodge in Canberra, including to the former prime minister John Howard. Now our spies can reveal the Lodge has an artificial Christmas tree.
Julia Gillard is not the only one avoiding the mess of a real tree. At David Jones on Castlereagh Street on Friday, some new styles of eco-friendly artificial trees, including a contemporary-looking LED Christmas two-metre high Paper Tree at $199, were so popular even the floor models had sold out.
How to offset the impact of a fake tree? Ellipsos said it would take from one to three weeks to offset the carbon emissions from both type of trees. For a more eco-friendly option, use a tree in a pot and carefully nurtures his from year to year.

As part of its new Open Graph app platform, Facebook has partnered with a host of music companies to bring real-time music streaming and discovery to the timeline. The Insider, ponders what this means for music (new stream of meaningless information?), and for you (The Brand?). But first things first...
"Show your love for British rock with this casual short-sleeved tee featuring a constellation print at the front at (sic) Joy Division text print towards the hem." - Urban Outfitters
Welcome to the newest incarnation of the unholy alliances between record labels, artists, merchandise companies, streaming services and social media to reduce music even further to a one shot visual statement, a badge of honour for a weekend house party or a passing line in an ever rolling 24 hour news feed. In the future, your favourite artist will be reduced to a handful of tracks, subject to the vagaries of peer group pressure, cultural shifts and the on / off nature of the licensing agreements between your streaming service and an embattled and resentful clutch of record labels.
We are living through a commodification of taste that drives a fracturing of the appreciation of art for short term financial gain. That may be a big statement but, as was pointed out by Kingsley Chapman of The Chapman Family in regards to the T shirt blurb (and from whom I stole this idea) "or buy Closer". The choice of Joy Division is particularly interesting as they, along with other bands from that 'golden era' (argue amongst yourselves on that one), represent certain values that seem in total opposition to a T shirt as statement of values. A postmodernist will tell you this is the death of the author in action – a music fan will tell you it is yet another reduction in the meaning of music and culture in the face of an ever increasing assault on the arts to co-opt them into marketing and commerce.
Which is where the new Spotify tie-in comes in. This is not to blame Spotify, too many commentators across culture in its widest sense confuse the medium with the message. Spotify is neutral, it merely delivers music and, now, allows users to exchange their favourite music with each other much as the internet can deliver free access medical papers or hardcore pornography. What the Spotify initiative reveals further is the endless drive of branding into music and the consequent commodification of taste and meaning to deliver short lived, egocentric cultural messages which are then co-opted by marketing on flawed assumptions to attempt sales strategies.
The Spotify 'innovation' creates a further culture of picking the 'right' tracks. Human nature being as it is, and herd instinct coming into play, the idea that we will be exposed to more music is revealed as a fallacy. Groups will congeal towards their own pre-existing tastes and those who share them, much like the blog world where mini worlds of defined and proscribed taste are created and maintained within a closed conversation akin to a group discussion on 'your favourite shade of blue' as opposed to 'your favourite colour'. What lies behind this fracturing is not a natural process of technology allowing culture to mutate into sub cultures but a market driven approach aimed at identifying and hard selling to definable groups with, in many cases, the explicit or implicit rejection of those who do not fit the preconceived conditions for membership. Crucially, this drive is devoid of meaning. Buying the Joy Division T shirt is a shorthand way of saying 'I am intelligent and outside the mainstream. I am not like normal people. (and here is my £25 to prove it)'. You almost feel sorry for those who fall for it. Almost.
Thus the culture of 'like' continues its seemingly unstoppable march across culture determined to lay waste to all before it who do not opt in to share their favourite (translation – culturally filtered to represent positive qualities about the self) everythings with those they know from well to barely. This reduces music to a brand tag, creates walls between group experiences and fractures knowledge into ever smaller islands of self-interested, and disconnected, groups. For music in general, its very availability and the ability of those to share it with others perversely becomes twisted by the marketing and commercialism behind it. Voyages of discovery are transmuted into declarations of self-image and rendered meaningless for those who saw this as an opportunity to rediscover the communal power of both the form and the concept of 'word of mouth'. Marketing theory and brand theory take this stream of self and transmute it into 'approaches' and 'strategies' for sales, ultimately creating ever decreasing and devalued circles as the true meaning of everything is reduced to 'A LIKES THIS TRACK' / 'IF YOU LIKE B THEN LISTEN TO C', the appearance of freedom and discovery masking the dead hand of control and advertising and potential fans reduced to demographics of age and social placings.
As with the charge for MySpace friends before, labels and marketing wonks within those labels see the association of their act with successful acts of a similar perception as the crucible in which success will be formed. Large amounts of thought and energy are increasingly ploughed into creating an image for acts which is predicated on an ability to draw favourable comparisons with already achieving acts who are 'like them'. This is one step further on from Tim Clark of ie:music stating in Eammon Forde's excellent dissection of what went wrong at EMI that the job role of A & R (and presumably management, as that is his day job) thus; "If you have any sense at all, you sign a band knowing who is already into that band and who the potential market is going to be." We are now into defining restricted markets for artists. These markets, incidentally, increasingly chime with the codifications of music media that are taking place, radio stations and print titles especially discounting bands as 'too old' or 'too young' and positioning themselves to appeal to defined age groups. It doesn't take a genius to understand that music is rarely this easy to quantify and that attempts to do this outside of the actual music will rely heavily on strategies that are more likely to denigrate, devalue and adversely affect the very thing we all claim to care about, the music itself.
Take this example of my own personal experience. A record label concerned that their band, who are selling increasingly big venues and achieving good success, are lacking a young audience. The question is then posited as to how we can attract younger people to the band. A demographic view of music that is more akin to working with a corporate brand and their tightly defined A, B and C consumers. Much discussion is centred around marketing initiatives or media placements that will drive the recruitment of this valued demographic into the band's fanbase whilst also (and this is very much implicit in the discussion) forcing the undesirables out. When working with corporate brands you expect this. When working with manufactured pop bands you can tolerate this. When working with what once would have been called alternative artists or, more accurately, career artists, this is a worrying and increasingly common trend and one that spreads with every click of a like button. The band must be perceived as a 'young person's band' in order to break into the 'young person's market' and start getting those 'like' clicks is running underneath everything said.
Assuming the new Spotify tie-ins don't end up face down in a ditch within six months, expect this new stream of meaningless information to increasingly feature in both the pitches of new artists alongside the already hackneyed and meaningless re-Tweet counts / facebook views and Hypemachine chart placings as labels and managers desperately try to engineer not just successful artists but artists that dovetail perfectly into pre-defined social and age groupings. Expect more of the past to be reduced to slogans and T shirts devoid of the original meaning and expect sales of music in any format to continue to slide and the industry that sells that music or streams it to find yet another socially engineered panacea that may just return us all to the glory days.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that the process of music in this country, including pop, has been from outsider status to mainstream taste. Thus 60's beat, late 60's hippy, heavy rock, punk, goth, acid house, garage, baggy, Britpop, grunge , hip hop and countless other twists and turns have journeyed into the mainstream through restriction; John Peel's tastemaking, NME / Melody Maker / Sounds championing / Radio Caroline's piracy / illegal raves and pirate stations. For those who think Music (really) Matters the campaign should be to remove the lists and the like buttons and force us back to opening our ears through reducing our options, building a self-image and a love of music through restricted access rather than, paradoxically, endless opportunities.

Pear and Chestnut Strudel Recipe
I created a strudel that doesn't get a traditional strudel dough wrapping, instead getting rolled in a very thin brown butter pie crust. It's considerably less intimidating than an actual strudel dough, and tastes great. Since the filling is fairly sweet, the strudel is best served with unsweetened whipped cream (you can add a few whole fresh sage leaves before whipping then remove them after; the "bruising" action will release essential oils and flavor the cream) or even whipped creme fraiche. Ice cream doesn't hurt, either.
Note: If you made my sage-scented chestnut flour muffins, they work perfectly as the crumb element in this strudel. Just chop up the muffins and toast lightly. Otherwise, things like brown bread or gingerbread would be perfect, but any plain bread or cake crumb would work as well.
- Yield:Serves 6-8
- Active time: 40 minutes
- Total time:2 hours
- For Crust
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- Pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons water
- For Filling
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 pound ripe pears, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped boiled chestnuts
- 1/2 cup dry bread or cake crumbs (see note)
For Crust: Place butter in medium saucepan and heat over medium heat. Once butter begins to brown and smell nutty, about 5 minutes, remove from heat and gently swirl pan until liquid is medium golden-brown and there are many deep brown solids on bottom. Immediately pour into a heatproof container, scraping as much from bottom of pan as you can. Once slightly cooled, stir gently to suspend browned solids and measure out 1/3 cup.
Combine flour and salt in medium mixing bowl, then add browned butter and water. Using a fork, gently mix until all dry flour is absorbed. Pat dough into a rectangle, wrap in plastic and chill slightly, until somewhat firm.
For Filling: Combine sugar, butter, salt, and vinegar in medium saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring often, until butter and sugar are both completely melted. Remove from heat and stir in pears, chestnuts and crumbs. Set aside.
To Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F. If you have parchment sheets, fold one in half, creasing sharply. If you are using rolled parchment, cut a piece that is at least two feet long and crease sharply in the middle. Place dough in between parchment and roll as thin as possible, turning, peeling and flipping parchment as needed to keep dough even and rectangular. You should end up with a rough square of about 12- by 12- inches, though it may be more rectangular if using sheet parchment. Gently peel parchment from top, then flip and repeat so dough won't stick and tear.
Arrange filling evenly in a line an inch or two up from the bottom edge of the dough. Use parchment to roll bottom of dough up over filling, then gently peel it away. Continue to tightly roll dough, using parchment to push, until all dough is rolled around filling and top edge is tucked underneath. Trim parchment to fit on a baking sheet, then use remaining parchment on either side of roll as a sling to gently lift strudel onto baking sheet. If desired, brush gently with beaten egg before baking.
Bake for 20 minutes, then turn and bake another 15-20, until dough is fully cooked. Don't be too concerned about any cracking or juices leaking. Allow to cool fully before slicing and reheat before serving.

This article discusses how to host a website on Google Cloud. Google Cloud provides a robust, flexible, reliable, and scalable platform for serving websites. Google built Google Cloud by using the same infrastructure that Google uses to serve content from sites such as Google.com, YouTube, and Gmail. You can serve your website's content by using the type and design of infrastructure that best suits your needs.
You might find this article useful if you are:
- Knowledgeable about how to create a website and have deployed and run some web-serving infrastructure before.
- Evaluating whether and how to migrate your site to Google Cloud.
If you want to build a simple website, consider using Google Sites, a structured wiki- and web page-creation tool. For more information, visit Sites help.
Choosing an option
If you're new to using Google Cloud, it's a reasonable approach to start by using the kind of technology you're already familiar with. For example, if you currently use hardware servers or virtual machines (VMs) to host your site, perhaps with another cloud provider or on your own hardware, Compute Engine provides a familiar paradigm for you. If you already use a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering, such as Heroku or Engine Yard, App Engine might be the best place to start.
After you become more familiar with Google Cloud, you can explore the richness of products and services that Google Cloud provides. For example, if you started by using Compute Engine, you might augment your site's capabilities by using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) or migrate some or all of the functionality to App Engine.
The following table summarizes your hosting options on Google Cloud:
|Data storage
|Load balancing
|Static website
Cloud Storage
Firebase Hosting
|Cloud Storage bucket
|Virtual machines
|Compute Engine
Cloud SQL Admin API, Cloud Storage API, Datastore API, and Cloud Bigtable API, or you can use another external storage provider.
Hard-disk-based persistent disks, called standard persistent disks, and solid-state persistent disks (SSD).
TCP Proxy
SSL Proxy
IPv6 termination
|Automatically with managed instance groups
|Similar to Compute Engine but interacts with persistent disks differently
|Cluster autoscaler
|Managed platform
|App Engine
|Google does it for you
|Google does it for you
|Google does it for you
|Google does it for you
This article can help you to understand the main technologies that you can use for web serving on Google Cloud and give you a glimpse of how the technologies work. The article provides links to complete documentation, tutorials, and solutions articles that can help you build a deeper understanding, when you're ready.
Understanding costs
Because there are so many variables and each implementation is different, it's beyond the scope of this article to provide specific advice about costs. To understand Google's principles about how pricing works on Google Cloud, see the pricing page. To understand pricing for individual services, see the product pricing section. You can also use the pricing calculator to estimate what your Google Cloud usage might look like. You can provide details about the services you want to use and then see a pricing estimate.
Setting up domain name services
Usually, you will want to register a domain name for your site. You can use a public domain name registrar, such as Google Domains, to register a unique name for your site. If you want complete control of your own domain name system (DNS), you can use Cloud DNS to serve as your DNS provider. The Cloud DNS documentation includes a quickstart to get you going.
If you have an existing DNS provider that you want to use, you generally need to
create a couple of records with that provider. For a domain name such as
example.com, you create an
A record with your DNS provider. For the
www.example.com sub-domain, you create a
CNAME record for
www to point
it to the
example.com domain. The
A record maps a hostname to an IP address.
CNAME record creates an alias for the
A record.
If your domain name registrar is also your DNS provider, that's probably all you need to do. If you use separate providers for registration and DNS, make sure that your domain name registrar has the correct name servers associated with your domain.
After making your DNS changes, the record updates can take some time to propagate depending on your time-to-live (TTL) values in your zone. If this is a new hostname, the changes go into effect quickly because the DNS resolvers don't have cached previous values and can contact the DNS provider to get the necessary information to route requests.
Hosting a static website
The simplest way to serve website content over HTTP(S) is to host static web pages. Static web pages are served unchanged, as they were written, usually by using HTML. Using a static website is a good option if your site's pages rarely change after they have been published, such as blog posts or pages that are part of a small-business website. You can do a lot with static web pages, but if you need your site to have robust interactions with users through server-side code, you should consider the other options discussed in this article.
Hosting a static website with Cloud Storage
To host a static site in Cloud Storage, you need to create a
Cloud Storage bucket,
upload the content, and test your new site. You can
serve your data directly from
or you can
verify that you own your domain
and use
your domain name.
You can create your static web pages however you choose. For example, you could hand-author pages by using HTML and CSS. You can use a static-site generator, such as Jekyll, Ghost, or Hugo, to create the content. With static-site generators, you create a static website by authoring in markdown, and providing templates and tools. Site generators generally provide a local web server that you can use to preview your content.
After your static site is working, you can update the static pages by using any
process you like. That process can be as straightforward as hand-copying an
updated page to the bucket. You might choose to use a more automated approach,
such as storing your content on GitHub and then using a
to run a
script that updates the bucket. An even more advanced system might use a
continuous-integration/continuous-delivery (CI/CD) tool, such as
to update the content in the
bucket. Jenkins has a Cloud Storage
that provides a
Google Cloud Storage Uploader post-build step to publish build
artifacts to Cloud Storage.
If you have a web app that needs to serve static content or user-uploaded static media, using Cloud Storage can be a cost-effective and efficient way to host and serve this content, while reducing the amount of dynamic requests to your web app.
Additionally, Cloud Storage can directly accept user-submitted content. This feature lets users upload large media files directly and in a secure manner, without proxying through your servers.
To get the best performance from your static website, see Best practices for Cloud Storage.

Using virtual machines with Compute Engine
For infrastructure as a service (IaaS) use cases, Google Cloud provides Compute Engine. Compute Engine provides a robust computing infrastructure, but you must choose and configure the platform components that you want to use. With Compute Engine, it's your responsibility to configure, administer, and monitor the systems. Google ensures that resources are available, reliable, and ready for you to use, but it's up to you to provision and manage them. The advantage, here, is that you have complete control of the systems and unlimited flexibility.
Use Compute Engine to design and deploy nearly any website-serving system you want. You can use VMs, called instances, to build your app, much like you would if you had your own hardware infrastructure. Compute Engine offers a variety of machine types to customize your configuration to meet your needs and your budget. You can choose which operating systems, development stacks, languages, frameworks, services, and other software technologies you prefer.
Setting up automatically with Google Cloud Marketplace
The easiest way to deploy a complete web-serving stack is by using Google Cloud Marketplace. With just a few clicks, you can deploy any of over 100 fully realized solutions with Google Click to Deploy or Bitnami.
For example, you can set up a LAMP stack or WordPress with Cloud Marketplace. The system deploys a complete, working software stack in just a few minutes on a single instance. Before you deploy, Cloud Marketplace shows you cost estimates for running the site, gives you clear information about which versions of the software components it installs for you, and lets you customize your configuration by changing component instance names, choosing the machine type, and choosing a disk size. After you deploy, you have complete control over the Compute Engine instances, their configurations, and the software.
Setting up manually
You can also create your infrastructure on Compute Engine manually, either building your configuration from scratch or building on a Google Cloud Marketplace deployment. For example, you might want to use a version of a software component not offered by Cloud Marketplace, or perhaps you prefer to install and configure everything on your own.
Providing a complete framework and best practices for setting up a website is beyond the scope of this article. But from a high-level view, the technical side of setting up a web-serving infrastructure on Compute Engine requires that you:
- Understand the requirements. If you're building a new website, make sure you understand the components you need, such as instances, storage needs, and networking infrastructure. If you're migrating your app from an existing solution, you probably already understand these requirements, but you need think through how your existing setup maps to Google Cloud services.
- Plan the design. Think through your architecture and write down your design. Be as explicit as you can.
- Create the components. The components that you might usually think of as physical assets, such as computers and network switches, are provided through services in Compute Engine. For example, if you want a computer, you have to create a Compute Engine instance. If you want a persistent hard disk drive, you create that, too. Cloud Deployment Manager makes this an easy and repeatable process.
- Configure and customize. After you have the components you want, you need to configure them, install and configure software, and write and deploy any customization code that you require. You can replicate the configuration by running shell scripts, which helps to speed future deployments. Deployment Manager helps here, too, by providing declarative, flexible configuration templates for automatic deployment of resources. You can also take advantage of IT automation tools such as Puppet and Chef.
- Deploy the assets. Presumably, you have web pages and images.
- Test. Verify that everything works as you expect.
- Deploy to production. Open up your site for the world to see and use.
To help you to get started and understand what it's like to set up Compute Engine instances manually, try one or more of the following tutorials:
Storing data with Compute Engine
Most websites need some kind of storage. You might need storage for a variety of reasons, such as saving files that your users upload, and of course the assets that your site uses.
Google Cloud provides a variety of managed storage services, including:
- A SQL database in Cloud SQL, which is based on MySQL.
- Two options for NoSQL data storage: Datastore and Cloud Bigtable.
- Consistent, scalable, large-capacity object storage in
Cloud Storage.
Cloud Storage comes in several classes:
- Standard provides maximum availability.
- Nearline provides a low-cost choice ideal for data accessed less than once a month.
- Coldline provides a low-cost choice ideal for data accessed less than once a quarter.
- Archive provides the lowest-cost choice for archiving, backup, and disaster recovery.
- Persistent disks on Compute Engine for use as primary storage for your instances. Compute Engine offers both hard-disk-based persistent disks, called standard persistent disks, and solid-state persistent disks (SSD). You can also choose to set up your preferred storage technology on Compute Engine by using persistent disks. For example, you can set up PostgreSQL as your SQL database or MongoDB as your NoSQL storage. To understand the full range and benefits of storage services on Google Cloud, see Choosing a storage option.
Load balancing with Compute Engine
For any website that operates at scale, using load-balancing technologies to distribute the workload among servers is often a requirement. You have a variety of options when architecting your load-balanced web servers on Compute Engine, including:
- HTTP(S) load balancing.
Explains the fundamentals of using Cloud Load Balancing.
- Content-based load balancing. Demonstrates how to distribute traffic to different instances based on the incoming URL.
- Cross-region load balancing. Demonstrates configuring VM instances in different regions and using HTTP or HTTPS load balancing to distribute traffic across the regions.
- TCP Proxy load balancing. Demonstrates setting up global TCP Proxy load balancing for a service that exists in multiple regions.
- SSL Proxy load balancing. Demonstrates setting up global SSL Proxy load balancing for a service that exists in multiple regions.
- IPv6 termination for HTTP(S), SSL Proxy, and TCP Proxy load balancing. Explains IPv6 termination and the options for configuring load balancers to handle IPv6 requests.
- Network load balancing. Shows a basic scenario that sets up a layer 3 load balancing configuration to distribute HTTP traffic across healthy instances.
- Cross-region load balancing using Microsoft IIS backends. Shows how to use the Compute Engine load balancer to distribute traffic to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) servers.
- Setting up internal load balancing You can set up a load balancer that distributes network traffic on a private network that isn't exposed to the internet. Internal load balancing is useful not only for intranet apps where all traffic remains on a private network, but also for complex web apps where a frontend sends requests to backend servers by using a private network.
Load balancing deployment is flexible, and you can use Compute Engine with your existing solutions. For a few examples, see Autoscaled internal load balancing using HAProxy and Consul for information about autoscaling both the HAProxy load balancing tier and the backend server tier. See HTTP(S) load balancing using NGINX for one possible solution that you could use in place of the Compute Engine load balancer.
Content distribution with Compute Engine
Because response time is a fundamental metric for any website, using a CDN to lower latency and increase performance is often a requirement, especially for a site with global web traffic.
Cloud CDN uses Google's globally distributed edge points of presence to deliver content from cache locations closest to users. Cloud CDN works with HTTP(S) load balancing. To serve content out of Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, or both from a single IP address, enable Cloud CDN for an HTTP(S) load balancer.
Autoscaling with Compute Engine
You can set up your architecture to add and remove servers as demand varies. This approach can help to ensure that your site performs well under peak load, while keeping costs under control during more-typical demand periods. Compute Engine provides an autoscaler that you can use for this purpose.
Autoscaling is a feature of managed instance groups. A managed instance group is a pool of homogeneous virtual machine instances, created from a common instance template. An autoscaler adds or remove instances in a managed instance group. Although Compute Engine has both managed and unmanaged instance groups, you can only use managed instance groups with an autoscaler. For more information, see autoscaling on Compute Engine.
For an in-depth look at what it takes to build a scalable and resilient web-app solution, see Building scalable and resilient web apps.
Logging and monitoring with Compute Engine
Google Cloud includes features that you can use to keep tabs on what's happening with your website.
Cloud Logging collects and stores logs from apps and services on Google Cloud. You can view or export logs and integrate third-party logs by using a logging agent.
Cloud Monitoring provides dashboards and alerts for your site. You configure Monitoring with the Google Cloud Console. You can review performance metrics for cloud services, virtual machines, and common open source servers such as MongoDB, Apache, Nginx, and Elasticsearch. You can use the Cloud Monitoring API to retrieve monitoring data and create custom metrics.
Managing DevOps with Compute Engine
For information about managing DevOps with Compute Engine, see the following articles:
- Automated image builds with Jenkins, Packer, and Kubernetes
- Distributed load testing using Kubernetes
- Continuous delivery with Travis CI
- Running Spinnaker on Compute Engine
- Managing deployments on Google Cloud with Spinnaker
Using containers with GKE
You might already be using containers, such as Docker containers. For web serving, containers offer several advantages, including:
- Componentization. You can use containers to separate the various components of your web app. For example, suppose your site runs a web server and a database. You can run these components in separate containers, modifying and updating one component without affecting the other. As your app's design becomes more complex, containers are a good fit for a service-oriented architecture, including microservices. This kind of design supports scalability, among other goals.
- Portability. A container has everything it needs to run—your app and its dependencies are bundled together. You can run your containers on a variety of platforms, without worrying about the underlying system details.
- Rapid deployment. When it's time to deploy, your system is built from a set of definitions and images, so the parts can be deployed quickly, reliably, and automatically. Containers are typically small and deploy much more quickly compared to, for example, virtual machines.
Container computing on Google Cloud offers even more advantages for web serving, including:
- Orchestration. GKE is a managed service built on Kubernetes, the open source container-orchestration system introduced by Google. With GKE, your code runs in containers that are part of a cluster that is composed of Compute Engine instances. Instead of administering individual containers or creating and shutting down each container manually, you can automatically manage the cluster through GKE, which uses the configuration you define.
- Image registration. Container Registry provides private storage for Docker images on Google Cloud. You can access Container Registry through an HTTPS endpoint, so you can pull images from any machine, whether it's a Compute Engine instance or your own hardware. The registry service hosts your custom images in Cloud Storage under your Google Cloud project. This approach ensures by default that your custom images are only accessible by members of your project.
- Mobility. This means that you have the flexibility to move and combine workloads with other cloud providers, or mix cloud computing workloads with on-premises implementations to create a hybrid solution.
Storing data with GKE
Because GKE runs on Google Cloud and uses Compute Engine instances as nodes, your storage options have a lot in common with storage on Compute Engine. You can access Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, Datastore, and Cloud Bigtable through their APIs, or you can use another external storage provider if you choose. However, GKE does interact with Compute Engine persistent disks in a different way than a normal Compute Engine instance would.
A Compute Engine instance includes an attached disk. When you use
Compute Engine, as long as the instance exists, the disk volume remains
with the instance. You can even detach the disk and use it with a different
instance. But in a container, on-disk files are ephemeral. When a container
restarts, such as after a crash, the on-disk files are lost. Kubernetes solves
this issue by using a
abstraction, and one type of volume is
This means that you can use Compute Engine persistent disks with containers to
keep your data files from being deleted when you use GKE.
To understand the features and benefits of a volume, you should first understand a bit about pods. You can think of a pod as an app-specific logical host for one or more containers. A pod runs on a node instance. When containers are members of a pod, they can share several resources, including a set of shared storage volumes. These volumes enable data to survive container restarts and to be shared among the containers within the pod. Of course, you can use a single container and volume in a pod, too, but the pod is a required abstraction to logically connect these resources to each other.
For an example, see the tutorial Using persistent disks with WordPress and MySQL.
Load balancing with GKE
Many large web serving architectures need to have multiple servers running that can share the traffic demands. Because you can create and manage multiple containers, nodes, and pods with GKE, it's a natural fit for a load-balanced web serving system.
Using network load balancing
The easiest way to create a load balancer in GKE is to use Compute Engine's network load balancing. Network load balancing can balance the load of your systems based on incoming internet protocol data, such as the address, port, and protocol type. Network load balancing uses forwarding rules. These rules point to target pools that list which instances are available to be used for load balancing.
With network load balancing, you can load balance additional TCP/UDP-based protocols such as SMTP traffic, and your app can directly inspect the packets.
You can deploy network load balancing simply by adding the
type: LoadBalancer
field to your service configuration file.
Using HTTP(S) load balancing
If you need more advanced load-balancing features, such as HTTPS load balancing, content-based load balancing, or cross-region load balancing, you can integrate your GKE service with Compute Engine's HTTP/HTTPS load balancing feature. Kubernetes provides the Ingress resource that encapsulates a collection of rules for routing external traffic to Kubernetes endpoints. In GKE, an Ingress resource handles provisioning and configuring the Compute Engine HTTP/HTTPS load balancer.
For more information about using HTTP/HTTPS load balancing in GKE, see Setting up HTTP load balancing with Ingress.
Scaling with GKE
For automatic resizing of clusters, you can use the Cluster Autoscaler. This feature periodically checks whether there are any pods that are waiting for a node with free resources but aren't being scheduled. If such pods exist, then the autoscaler resizes the node pool if resizing would allow the waiting pods to be scheduled.
Cluster Autoscaler also monitors the usage of all nodes. If a node isn't needed for an extended period of time, and all of its pods can be scheduled elsewhere, then the node is deleted.
For more information about the Cluster Autoscaler, its limitations, and best practices, see the Cluster Autoscaler documentation.
Logging and monitoring with GKE
Like on Compute Engine, Logging and Monitoring provide your logging and monitoring services. Logging collects and stores logs from apps and services. You can view or export logs and integrate third-party logs by using a logging agent.
Monitoring provides dashboards and alerts for your site. You configure Monitoring with the Google Cloud Console. You can review performance metrics for cloud services, virtual machines, and common open source servers such as MongoDB, Apache, Nginx, and Elasticsearch. You can use the Monitoring API to retrieve monitoring data and create custom metrics.
Managing DevOps with GKE
When you use GKE, you're already getting many of the benefits most people think of when they think of DevOps. This is especially true when it comes to ease of packaging, deployment, and management. For your CI/CD workflow needs, you can take advantage of popular tools such as Jenkins. See the following articles:
Building on a managed platform with App Engine
On Google Cloud, the managed platform as a service (PaaS) is called App Engine. When you build your website on App Engine, you get to focus on coding up your features and let Google worry about managing the supporting infrastructure. App Engine provides a wide range of features that make scalability, load balancing, logging, monitoring, and security much easier than if you had to build and manage them yourself. App Engine lets you code in a variety of programming languages, and it can use a variety of other Google Cloud services.
App Engine provides the standard environment, which lets you run apps in a secure, sandboxed environment. The App Engine standard environment distributes requests across multiple servers, and scales servers to meet traffic demands. Your app runs in its own secure, reliable environment that's independent of the hardware, operating system, or physical location of the server.
To give you more options, App Engine offers the flexible environment. When you use the flexible environment, your app runs on configurable Compute Engine instances, but App Engine manages the hosting environment for you. This means that you can use additional runtimes, including custom runtimes, for more programming language choices. You can also take advantage of some of the flexibility that Compute Engine offers, such as choosing from a variety of CPU and memory options.
Programming languages
The App Engine standard environment provides default runtimes, and you write source code in specific versions of the supported programming languages.
With the flexible environment, you write source code in a version of any of the supported programming languages. You can customize these runtimes or provide your own runtime with a custom Docker image or Dockerfile.
If the programming language you use is a primary concern, you need to decide whether the runtimes provided by the App Engine standard environment meet your requirements. If they don't, you should consider using the flexible environment.
To determine which environment best meets your app's needs, see Choosing an App Engine environment.
Getting started tutorials by language
The following tutorials can help you get started using the App Engine standard environment:
The following tutorials can help you get started using the flexible environment:
- Getting started with Python
- Getting started with Java
- Getting started with PHP
- Getting started with Go
- Getting started with Node.js
- Getting started with Ruby
- Getting started with .NET
Storing data with App Engine
App Engine gives you options for storing your data:
|Strongly consistent except when performing global queries.
|Cloud SQL
|Strongly consistent.
|Cloud Storage
|Files and their associated metadata
|Strongly consistent except when performing list operations that get a list of buckets or objects.
You can also use several third-party databases with the standard environment.
For more details about storage in App Engine, see Choosing a storage option, and then select your preferred programming language.
When you use the flexible environment, you can use all of the same storage options as you can with the standard environment, and a wider range of third-party databases as well. For more information about third-party databases in the flexible environment, see Using third-party databases.
Load balancing and autoscaling with App Engine
When you build on App Engine, load balancing and autoscaling are automatically managed for you.
Logging and monitoring with App Engine
In App Engine, requests are logged automatically, and you can view these
logs in the Cloud Console. App Engine also works with
standard, language-specific libraries that provide logging functionality and
forwards the log entries to the logs in the Cloud Console. For example,
in Python
you can use the standard Python logging module and
in Java
you can use the
Monitoring provides features for monitoring your App Engine apps. Through the Cloud Console, you can monitor incidents, uptime checks, and other details.
Building content management systems
Serving a website means managing your website assets. Cloud Storage provides a global repository for these assets. One common architecture deploys static content to Cloud Storage and then syncs to Compute Engine to render dynamic pages. Cloud Storage works with many third-party content management systems, such as WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla. Cloud Storage also offers an Amazon S3 compatible API, so any system that works with Amazon S3 can work with Cloud Storage.
For a look at a sample architecture for a content management system, see Content management.

UPDATE, July 1: We've confirmed that Beatty has not signed scholarship papers or any other commitment documents. That appears likely to happen, but sources close to the program indicate there are "issues" that have to be resolved. That's where it stands for the time being.
JUNE 30: If James Beatty committed to Rutgers today, the junior college point guard might want to tell somebody at the school.
Multiple internet reports—first from the website JucoJunction.com, then zagsblog.com—quoted Miami Dade College coach Matt Eisele as saying that the 6-foot-2 Beatty had decided on Rutgers.
But we have been unable to confirm that commitment with anyone on the Rutgers side. A phone call to Beatty was disconnected when the subject of his commitment came up, and subsequent calls were not answered.
Rutgers would have to receive signed scholarship papers for Beatty's commitment to become official, and it appears as though that did not happen today.
Stay tuned.

Chain Reaction: Taco Bell's New Triple Steak Stack and Cantina Double Steak Quesadilla
Would you like fries (or onion rings or chicken tenders) with that?
Today's post was supposed to be an easy one. Try Taco Bell's new Triple Steak Stack, write a few words for and against, spend an inordinate amount of time taking photos, and call it a wrap. But somewhere it got more complicated than that. I blame Will Gordon.
Nearly two years ago, Will got his hands on the "New" Triple Steak Stack, and wrote this piece artfully examining and slowly eviscerating an over-priced, one-note sandwich. For will, the sandwich's saving grace was the steak, and in the wake of a rough publicity year for Taco Bell (is it ever not a rough publicity year for them, though?), featuring well-executed steak in a sandwich that was basically just steak is a win. High-fives all around the bell-shaped table in the executive boardroom.
So here we are, two years later, and the Triple Steak Stack is back. I mean, it's "New." Whatever, I'm not getting into that now. Nor am I calling out the extremely tenuous relationship between the Triple Steak Stack and actual Mexican cuisine. (Admittedly, I'm not sure if it's more or less egregious than "Mexican Pizza".) I don't need to—the Triple Steak Stack 2013 Edition is an unmitigated failure for one reason alone: they messed with the meat.
While the meat in Will's Triple Steak Stack was laudable—"Tender without being mushy, and the marinade was peppery and reminiscent of a better brand of quickie mart beef jerky"—the 2013 edition reminded me of Salisbury steak in the taste department, but got significantly lower points when it came to texture. If there's one positive improvement it's that at $5.49, this still-too-soft sandwich is now an easy 'pass' in favor of something else.
Might I suggest the new Cantina Double Steak Quesadilla?
Admittedly, most of the "more complicated" part of this column is my own doing. I could have just skipped over Chef Lorena Garcia's latest contribution as I did the other 6 "new" items on the Taco Bell menu (deep breath, Lee...), but man, am I glad I didn't. The story opportunity seemed too perfect: Triple Steak vs. Double Steak. Sometimes, less is more. Well, sort of.
Don't let the name or the $5.19 price fool you, the Cantina Double Steak Quesadilla is over 30% larger than the Triple Steak Stack (438 grams vs. 303 grams). But wait, there's more!
The Cantina Double Steak Quesadilla dwarfed the Triple Steak Stack at every turn. The packaging and presentation is better (think "room service" compared to "the drive-thru at Taco Bell"), and the the quesadilla even comes with an bonus package of chips, salsa, and sour cream (actually, it wasn't entirely clear why the chips were in the box, but still, it's a nice surprise. Something about a gift horse?).
Most importantly, it appears as though the meat that Will described way-back-when has made its way into the Cantina Double Steak Quesadilla. Since the two menu items are both effectively meat, cheese, and bread, it's no surprise that the one featuring textured steak strips is a clear winner. The meat had a slightly smoky flavor, and while it was a little dry, they trounced the alternative (remember: Salisbury steak). I preferred the quesadilla without sour cream and salsa, since the toasted tortilla provided a welcome first-bite crunch, but the salsa was bright and pleasant, more akin to your average Mexican restaurant salsa than one would assume.
Looking back, I guess it wasn't as complicated as I thought. It was the best of the Taco Bell steak offerings, pitted against the worst. Plus, I got to help some people save $.40. That's pretty cool, right?
