[1] Data-laden users now have a new option for storing their information in the cloud. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) today announced a new database option called
AlloyDB that's built around the
PostgreSQL open-source database that has been a popular choice for developers for more than 30 years.
The new database is designed to appeal to users with a
code stack that relies upon a full-featured database offering options like atomicity, consistency, isolation and durability (ACID)-compliant transactions, stored procedures or triggers. Google's team says that it will compete directly with legacy offerings from companies like Oracle, IBM or Microsoft by delivering the classic features in a modern, cloud-native package.
Google's new version will be
hosted in their cloud and priced as a service. The new pricing model is designed to be simpler and free from the kind of hidden charges that often create large and unexpected bills. Their model, for example, won't charge for I/O, a common extra in some other contracts from cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS).

redefine the transportation landscape" with a continuous functional-safety certified, Linux-based in-vehicle operating system. This will enable the companies, they say, to responsibly offer more valuable features in a fraction of the typical development time.
"With millions of lines of code sustaining
critical systems like driver assistance, fuel economy and more, modern vehicles are more like mobile high-performance computers than the cars of the past," said Francis Chow, vice president and general manager for In-Vehicle Operating System and Edge at Red Hat. "The time to innovate is now."
In-vehicle software systems are — rightly so — complex. High levels of protection are essential when it comes not just to general safety, but cybersecurity. Maintaining compliance means high levels of assurance in the underlying software. And, according to automakers, such robust, intricate, stringent requirements around safety protocols and certification standards can lengthen development and
complicate software updates.

[3] The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic propelled cloud adoption at an unprecedented rate. The benefits of cloud computing combined with the promises
Web3 holds for such things as blockchain-backed decentralization, scalability and increased ownership for everyday users became clearer when the world shut down in March 2020.
Now, Web3's lesser-known but important counterpart, Cloud3, is also beginning to gain traction. Executives like Salesforce CEO Marc Bennioff are already mapping how their companies will adopt the new iteration of
cloud computing — the core of which is built around working from anywhere — further supporting the workforce shift.
Cloud3 and Web3 may sound like the latest tech buzzwords, but according to industry experts, the two are on the rise and enterprise executives and community leaders need to pay attention or
risk getting left behind.
