Cloud Shell: Cloud Shell is a tool that provides command-line access to cloud resources directly from your browser. You can use Cloud Shell to run experiments, execute Cloud SDK commands, manage projects and resources, and do lightweight software development via the built-in web editor.
Recommenders: Recommenders automatically analyze your usage patterns to provide recommendations and insights across services to help you use Google Cloud Platform in a more secure, cost-effective, and efficient manner.
Service Infrastructure: Service Infrastructure is a foundational platform for creating, managing, securing, and consuming APIs and services. It includes:
- Service Management API, which lets service producers manage their APIs and services;
- Service Consumer Management API, which lets service producers manage their relationships with their service consumers; and
- Service Control API, which lets managed services integrate with Service Infrastructure for admission control and telemetry reporting functionality.
- Service Usage API, which lets service consumers manage their usage of APIs and services.
Healthcare and Life Sciences
Cloud Healthcare: Cloud Healthcare is a fully-managed service to send, receive, store, query, transform, and analyze healthcare and life sciences data and enable advanced insights and operational workflows using highly scalable and compliance-focused infrastructure.
*Healthcare Data Engine (HDE): HDE is a solution that enables (1) harmonization of healthcare data to the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (“FHIR”) standard and (2) streaming of healthcare data to an analytic environment.
Media and Gaming
Live Stream API: Live Stream API is a cloud-based live encoder that processes high-quality contribution feeds for 24x7 live linear or live events and prepares the streams for digital distribution. It compresses the video and audio elementary streams with the latest video codecs and packages the streams in standardized container formats to reach all IP connected devices.
Transcoder API: Transcoder API can batch convert media files into optimized formats to enable streaming across web, mobile, and living room devices. It provides fast, easy to use, large-scale processing of advanced codecs while utilizing Google’s storage, networking, and delivery infrastructure.
Video Stitcher API: Video Stitcher API enables users to dynamically insert content or ads using server-side video insertion technology. Video and ads are conditioned into a single stream for video on demand (VOD) or live streams to deliver flexible and target personalization at scale.
