How Google Cloud Is Changing the Cloud Game (It's not about AWS vs. Azure anymore)

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) flipped the script at Google Cloud Next 2025 — and it’s bigger than AWS vs. Azure rivalry. From Vertex AI and Gemini 2.5 Pro to Ironwood TPUs, Kubernetes, and hybrid AI with Nvidia, Google’s strategy is all about choice, flexibility, and breaking free from lock-in.

In this video, I’ll explore:
✅ Google’s AI-first innovations — Gemini AI, Vertex AI, Veo 3, and on-prem Nvidia deployments
✅ The GCP toolbox: Compute Engine, Cloud Run, Kubernetes (GKE), BigQuery, Dataflow, Firestore, and more
✅ Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Reality — running Gemini AI across Google Cloud + Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
✅ DevOps: Terraform, Cloud Build, Cloud Deploy, and Observability tools
✅ Why GCP’s open-source & multi-cloud approach could reshape the cloud wars
