says it will provide "a wide range of Google's unique technologies, solutions, and products," ranging from "apps," "big data," and "machine learning."

In line with this, we
have partnered with more than 200 customer partners and integrators,
Accenture including Airbus, Home Depot, Snap Inc., Evernote, Niantic Labs, Telus, and Accenture. They have also announced that they will be developing tools.

Development and operation team structure

In addition, in order to strengthen customer engagement in the development and operation system,

we created a team called "Customer Reliability Engineering (CRE)" to take on
a new role within the Google Cloud Platform team provide Google's engineering-related expertise to user companies. I will continue to do so.

These teams of Google engineers are customer-focused,
integrating with customers' operations teams,
sharing responsibility for the reliability of critical cloud applications, and
strengthening the relationship between engineers and customers. I'm trying to make it something.

By the way, an example of a company to which CRE has been applied is Niantic

Recently, Google opened
a new region in Oregon which will improve latency for customers by up to 80%. It is said that it was done.
