Today I "fixed" Google Cloud infrastructure as code deployment with a resistor and a bit of wire... My old hobby of #Arduino and #RaspberryPi GPIO served me well today while helping our team at #Google to prepare the awesome Drone Darby for Google Cloud NEXT event next week. The Drone Darby is machine learning challenge to navigate a drone through an obstacle course using the drone camera footage and #ML inference on a RaspberryPi supported by a #TPU. Firebase state, messages via pub/sub and Cloud Run hosting front end web services and more are all instantiated via terraform, configuring and setting up infrastructure with a bit of code, triggered by a hardware button that the competing team hits when the game starts. Today, together with Michael Fiore, we "fixed" an unreliable GPIO button with a humble pull down resistor. #googlecloudnext23

Today I discovered the Google-equivalent of AWS Cloud Quest: "The Arcade" https://lnkd.in/epceN3RE For those who have taken Google courses on Coursera, you may notice the familiar "Qwiklabs" interface. I tried a couple of their Level 1 challenges and got some hands-on experience with downloading, testing, and deploying an application (just the typical "Hello World" - nothing fancy to see here). The Arcade grants you a temporary "Student" credentials so that you can log in and access a real Google Cloud environment. Saving this for future use! #GoogleCloud

🏎️📈“Propose a ready to use template for TeamdB collaborative runsheet” 🙏🏎️Thanks to Trackside Software for proposing one of the most concrete industrial project for track operation to our student at ESTACA - Ecole Supérieure des Techniques Aéronautiques et de Construction Automobile from the Post Master Degree Motorsport Engineering Performance. We really appreciate their insights as they are one of key actor to provide softwares for World Series track operations. #motorsport #engineering #KPI #database #performance #management #team

📢 Happy to announce a new #CoastSat release (v2.4) with cool new updates: • automatically detect if images are already available and only download the ones that are missing (this was much needed!) • new function to create an animation with the mapped shorelines over time, as the one shown below for Narrabeen since the start of the year. • option to specify the cloud probability threshold to use for the advanced Sentinel-2 cloud mask (s2cloudless) • new time-series analysis functions like estimating linear trends on the shoreline time-series.

Cloud Maritime Simulator Captain Guillermo Garay was visiting two weeks ago, Barranquilla Pilots' facility in Barranquilla, Colombia, and used the oportunity to test the advanced SimFlex cloud simulator by sailing a large container ship located at FORCE's facility in Kgs. Lyngby in Copenhagen, Denmark. Barranquilla pilots have been attending locally, Shiphandling courses run from Denmark, by using this cloud facility. #Maritime Pilot Training, #Simulation, #Cloud simulation, #Remote training, #Remote assessment

🏗️ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗸𝗲́𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗚𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀? 🏗️ Millions of people are playing Pokémon GO, but did you know it’s built on Google Cloud? In this episode of Architecting with Google Cloud, Priyanka Vergadia speaks with James Prompanya, the Technical Manager at Niantic Labs about Pokémon GO’s architecture and how it scales for a large number of players. Listen as they share how they use GKE and Spanner for scaling and how their data science team works with BigQuery, Dataflow, and Pub/Sub for the data analytics! https://lnkd.in/dNvwCkS8 #DataEngineering #DataArchitecture #GCP

If you watch Formula 1, you must have noticed the logo "Powered By AWS" several times. Are you curious how the Pinnacle of Motorsports is using AWS? Here's the link that explains it. Love to know your thoughts, please share it in the comments. #aws #awscloud #awspartner #machinelearning https://lnkd.in/ghsv8S-y

There are so many software's for processing drone data. Here are 2 after processing the same data. One is an Open Source Software (WebODM) and the other, the older version of a commercial software (Agisoft Photoscan). Both processing and generating Orthomosaic, DSM and Point Cloud. #dronedata #dataprocessing #dronedataprocessing #softwares
