Agenda

Tuesday, November 4, 2014

  • 9:00a - 10:30a
    Keynote
    Hear from Google senior executives, including Vice Presidents Joerg Heilig and Brian Stevens, about the revolution underway in Cloud computing. We’ll show new innovations in Cloud Platform, share our vision for the future of Cloud and present some exciting news.
  •  
    Track 1
    Building a best-in-class Cloud Platform application
    Track 2
    Hot topics in Cloud computing
  • 11:00a - 11:50a
    Design your app
    So you want to build a new application in the Cloud, but you’re not sure where to start? In this session we’ll guide you through the process of designing Cloud apps by addressing key design questions and choices: “Where should I run my app?”, “Where should I store the data?” We’ll also introduce you to the Cloud Platform products & services that can power your next app.
    The revolution in cloud computing
    A new wave of technologies is enabling new frontiers of scalability, portability, and developer productivity. Come learn about the revolution in computing, where Virtualization, Managed VMs, Containers and Kubernetes are shaping the next generation of cloud applications.
  • 12:00p - 12:50p
    Lunch
  • 1:00p - 1:50p
    Build your app
    Ready to write some code? How can you quickly go from initial design or concept to a working and viable product? This session will take you from concept to production. We’ll walk you through the APIs and tooling that Cloud Platform offers to make your work easier & more efficient.
    Cloud Powering your Mobile Development
    Cloud and Mobile are the biggest trends shaping technology. Learn about how Cloud Platform and Firebase, who recently joined the Cloud Platform team, are making it easier than ever to build great mobile applications for iOS and Android.
  • 2:00p - 2:50p
    Deploy & Operate
    Once you’ve deployed, how do you keep your application healthy? And how do you make sure you can easily get new updates and releases to your users? In this session we’ll take you through Cloud Platform’s monitoring and logging features as well as how you can manage continuous deployment and staged rollouts.
    Privacy & security in Google Cloud Platform
    Come learn all the ways that Google helps ensure the security and privacy of your application and data - from data center design to policy. We’ll give you practical tips to help you make sure your applications take advantage of all the security features Cloud Platform has to offer.
  • 3:00p - 3:20p
    Break
  • 3:30p - 4:20p
    Optimize & Analyze:
    Now that you have built, deployed and updated your application, we’ll look at how Cloud Platform’s big data services can help you move your app (or business) to the next level. Hadoop, BigQuery and other Cloud Platform services help you get meaningful insights from your data.
    Runtime Insights
    Traditionally, debugging an issue in a large scale production system involves crawling through mountains of logs trying to correlate a pattern of events. Come see how Cloud Monitoring and Logging, Cloud Debugger, and Cloud Trace give you a better way to see what’s happening in your application.
  • 4:30p - 5:20p
    Closing Session
    Join us for a fireside chat with the engineering leaders who are shaping the future of Cloud.
  • 5:30p - late
    Afterparty (only for registered guests in San Francisco)
    Join us at the official Google Cloud Platform Live after-hours event. We’ll have food, drinks and a few surprises.
