Google Compute Engine
Compute Engine (IaaS), a platform from Google that allows organizations to create and manage cloud-based virtual machines, is an infrastructure as a services (IaaS).
Computing infrastructure in predefined sizes or custom machine shapes to accelerate cloud transformation. General purpose machines (E2, N1,N2,N2D) offer a good compromise between price and performance. Compute optimized machines (C2) offer high-end performance vCPUs for compute-intensive workloads. Memory optimized (M2) systems offer the highest amount of memory and are ideal for in-memory database applications. Accelerator optimized machines (A2) are based on A100 GPUs, and are designed for high-demanding applications. Integrate Compute services with other Google Cloud Services, such as AI/ML or data analytics. Reservations can help you ensure that your applications will have the capacity needed as they scale. You can save money by running Compute using the sustained-use discount, and you can even save more when you use the committed-use discount.

Tetragon
Tetragon is an adaptable security observability and runtime enforcement tool designed for Kubernetes, leveraging eBPF to implement policies and filtering that minimize observation overhead while enabling the tracking of any process and real-time policy enforcement. With eBPF technology, Tetragon achieves profound observability with minimal performance impact, effectively reducing risks without the delays associated with user-space processing. Building on Cilium's architecture, Tetragon identifies workload identities, including namespace and pod metadata, offering capabilities that exceed conventional observability methods. It provides a selection of pre-defined policy libraries that facilitate quick deployment and enhance operational insights, streamlining both setup time and complexity when scaling. Furthermore, Tetragon actively prevents harmful actions at the kernel level, effectively closing off opportunities for exploitation while avoiding vulnerabilities related to TOCTOU attack vectors. The entire process of synchronous monitoring, filtering, and enforcement takes place within the kernel through the use of eBPF, ensuring a secure environment for workloads. This integrated approach not only enhances security but also optimizes performance across Kubernetes deployments.
