GCP – The best of Google Cloud Next ’20: OnAir’s Data Analytics Week for technical practitioners
Calling all data practitioners: It’s week 5 of Google Cloud Next ‘20: OnAir, and this week we’re covering all things data analytics. This covers the full spectrum of data workflows in Google Cloud, from data ingestion using Dataflow and Pub/Sub to BigQuery’s machine learning and geospatial capabilities and data visualization with Looker. And, of course, this week includes a session about BigQuery Omni, which lets you use BigQuery’s capabilities across Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, and Azure (soon).
After checking out the sessions below, if you have questions, join me this Friday, August 14 at 9 AM PST for a developer- and operator-focused live recap and Q&A session. Our APAC team is also hosting a recap Friday, August 14 at 11 AM SGT. Several colleagues will join me to discuss their sessions, data analytics news, and future events to look forward to. Join us live to ask our experts questions or watch it on-demand at any time after it airs. Hope to see you then.
We have a lot of great content to share this week, so let’s dig in to a few highlights:
-
