Compute

Google Compute Engine lets you create and run virtual machines on Google infrastructure. Compute Engine offers scale, performance, and value that allows you to easily launch large compute clusters on Google's infrastructure. There are no upfront investments and you can run thousands of virtual CPUs on a system that has been designed to be fast, and to offer strong consistency of performance: see this content for more details.

Google Cloud Platform 101 (Google I/O '18)

Building great solutions requires having the right tools for the job. With Google Cloud Platform (GCP), you have many different tools at your disposal. In this session, you'll get an overview of GCP offerings, including storage options, ways to make use of and protect your data, and getting started with machine learning. You'll get answers to questions like: How do I get a Virtual Machine? What NoSQL solutions are available? Where do I open a firewall port?

Spark

You’ll learn how to use Spark to work with big data and build machine learning models at scale, including how to wrangle and model massive datasets with PySpark. Learn about big data and how Spark fits into the big data ecosystem. Practice processing and cleaning datasets to get comfortable with Spark’s SQL and dataframe APIs. Debug and optimize your Spark code when running on a cluster. Use Spark’s Machine Learning Library to train machine learning models at scale.
