A new flexible DNS-based approach for accessing the GKE control plane
- Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) has launched a new DNS-based endpoint to allow more flexibility for access methods and security controls to the cluster control plane for Kubernetes API requests. The endpoint is available on every cluster regardless of version or cluster configuration. GKE has historically provided two primary methods for securing its control plane: authorized networks and disabling public endpoints. However, IP address-based authorized network configurations have been prone to human configuration error, whilst static network configurations based on IP ranges require change each time a network configuration changes. The new DNS-based endpoint resolves to a frontend accessible from any network that can reach Google Cloud APIs.
- Using the DNS-based endpoint eliminates the need for a bastion host or proxy nodes. Access is available to authorized users without prior configuration regardless of network location, and there are no restrictions for transiting multiple VPCs. Authorised users can use IAM policies to access the control plane, ensuring only authorised users can use the control plane regardless of their specific location.
- The DNS-based endpoint provides two security layers: IAM policies, and VPC Service Controls. The IAM policies follow the same practices used for all GCP API access, ensuring identified accounts are preventing from easy access to the cluster control plane.
- The VPC Service Controls work in conjunction with the IAM policies to provide context-aware access controls based on network origins and honeypots to prevent unauthorised access to any Google Cloud resources. The VPC Service Controls integrates with Cloud Audit Logs auditing system to monitor access to the control plane.
- Configuring DNS-based access for the GKE cluster control plane is straightforward. Users can create a new cluster with an enable DNS-access command or configure an existing cluster with an enable DNS-access command. The user then needs to configure IAM access to the control plane via IAM policies.
- The DNS-based endpoint offers more flexibility in managing the security of cluster control planes. Using a bastion host and proxies will no longer be necessary, making it more comfortable for authorised users to improve the efficiency of the control plane access method.
- The IP-based endpoint remains available, enabling existing clients to stick to their known protocols while new clients adopt the DNS-based endpoint. Support for the IP-based endpoint is set to phase out going forward, and the DNS-based endpoint will remain available regardless of cluster version or configuration.

How Verve achieves 37% performance gains with C4 machines and new GKE features
- Verve, the advertising solutions specialist, has benefited from a 37% improvement in platform performance by integrating Google Cloud's high-performance C4 virtual machines into its infrastructure.
- C4 is fuelling Verve's growth by reducing latency and improving the 5-7% rate of ad-fill achieved by the platform on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). This means the company needs to pay for less traffic that automatically scales up when a bid-winning ad, generating revenue, is requested.
- Another GKE-aided win comes from adopting Google's GKE Gateway, which leverages Google's Envoy-based global load balancers, to reduce computing costs and latency by 20% to 25% and incorporate automated scaling to handle traffic surges.
- Most recently, Verve has started working with Google's Custom Compute Classes (CCCs), a Kubernetes-native, declarative API that prioritises available compute requirements by metrics like price, availability and performance.
- The company was one of the first to use the service during its Early Access phase and set benchmarking by migrating its marketplace from N2D machines to C4.
- Through the CCC service, Verve was able to establish C4 as its preferred machine while also avoiding a false dichotomy of having to choose between saving IT costs and lower machine availability.
- It plans to improve its compute utilisation and scalability by deploying GKE's Node Autoprovisioning and Custom Compute Classes in the next stage of its growth program.
- In summary, Verve realised a 37% improvement in platform performance using C4 machines and saved costs leveraging GKE Gateway for load balancing, which translated into a 7.5% revenue boost. Custom Compute Classes optimised its compute preference and usage.
- C4 machines are designed for performance-sensitive workloads, built on the latest Intel Xeon Scalable processors, and offer high bandwidth, low latency networking up to 200 Gbps.
- Varying vCPU and memory configurations make the C4 VMs suitable for many mission-critical requirements, including financial modelling, inference, databases and gaming applications.

On theCUBE Pod: Election reset on tech, debunking activists slamming Jassy, enterprise AI about to boom
- This week's discussions centered on the recent U.S. election, enterprise AI, and the scrutiny of Amazon's leadership, among others. The election's impact on the tech sector emerged as a central theme, particularly in driving market stability and optimism. Amazon's leadership, particularly CEO Andy Jassy, has faced criticism in an open letter by Blue Duck Capital LLC for his strategic choices, which has led analysts to believe that the investor group has a deep misunderstanding of Amazon's strategy.
- Enterprise AI is emerging as a transformative force, offering the potential to drive both organizational efficiency and individual productivity. The AI boom is probably going to be a combination of both productivity booms of the 1960s and the 1990s. Challenges remain, particularly for startups struggling with resource access. GPU availability is a major bottleneck, making it hard for smaller companies to scale.
- As enterprise AI continues to reshape industries, broader efforts such as public-private partnerships, supported by the CHIPS Act, are vital for sustaining AI growth. Analysts argue that private companies must contribute more to ensure success. The recent U.S. election has also sparked potential strategies that could reshape the US competitiveness in AI and manufacturing.
- Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has been criticized for his strategic choices in an open letter by Blue Duck Capital LLC. Amazon's disciplined approach and long-term focus may not be well understood by investors looking for quick profits. Jassy's focus on generative AI, which is a foundational technology for sustained growth, is not appreciated by all as he has made some bold moves.
- The intersection of technology, politics, and innovation took center stage in recent discussions. Trump's winning is perceived as signaling stability in the US, particularly for the tech sector. This certainty has already sparked optimism in the markets, with signs of IPO resurgence. Enterprise AI holds immense potential for automating workflows and unlocking value from proprietary data.
- Many organizations have yet to fully understand and leverage AI, with many people being in this 'I don't know what I don't know' phase. Challenges remain, particularly for startups struggling with resource access, as GPU availability is a significant bottleneck, making it hard for smaller companies to scale.
- While AI model development costs are soaring, operational expenses are plummeting, opening up new opportunities for businesses. Private companies must contribute more to ensure success in the field of AI, and a sovereign fund, Bitcoin reserve, or doubling down on the CHIPS Act could reshape US competitiveness in AI and manufacturing.
- Enterprise AI is emerging as a transformative force, offering the potential to drive both organizational efficiency and individual productivity. The AI boom is probably going to be a combination of both productivity booms of the 1960s and the 1990s. Challenges remain, particularly for startups struggling with resource access as GPU availability is a significant bottleneck.
- Broad efforts such as public-private partnerships are vital for sustaining AI growth. Amazon's deliberate focus on long-term innovation rather than succumbing to the pressures of Wall Street reflects the company's confidence in its ability to sustain growth through bold investments in technology and infrastructure.
- Private companies like Apple, Amazon, Meta, Google, and others should contribute more to ensure success in the field of AI, says Dave Vellante. As the AI industry continues to reshape industries, broader efforts such as the CHIPS Act are vital for sustaining AI growth. Analysts argue that private companies must contribute more to ensure success.
- As enterprise AI continues to reshape industries, public-private partnerships that are supported by the CHIPS Act are vital to ensure future growth. For success in AI, private companies such as Amazon, Apple, Google, and Meta must be willing to invest in the future of AI technology.
