Google Cloud Hybrid/Multi Cloud Solution Updates

In recent years, the shift to cloud computing for business systems has been accelerating in various industries. However, in the past, these solutions required containerization of applications, and customers who are not yet ready to move away from virtual machines may not be able to take the plunge into the cloud. Google's latest solution enables hybrid and multi-cloud computing using virtual machines, which strongly supports the migration of mission-critical systems such as broadcasting, video transmission, and live streaming to the cloud. In this seminar, we will show you the latest hybrid and multi-cloud solutions from Google Cloud.
