I had the opportunity to attend Google Cloud Next, held in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas from April 8th till 11th 2025. Google Cloud shows an impressive advance on infrastrucure and platform side. Google Cloud builds out its positon as leader for AI powered Next Generation Applications. Google makes agent creation easier, brings them to on premises with GDC, partners with Nvidia for GPUs on premises. Cloud WAN opens the Google Network, another differentiator. On the PaaS side, AlloyDB gains capabilties and is available via 3rd party on other clouds as well. Firestore gets MongoDB compatibility, Oracle @Google Cloud shows traction, and developers get access for Gemini across Firebase Studio.

1. Event Report – Google Cloud Next 2025
Google Cloud completes and leads
My POV: Google is
pushing agents on the
leading AI infrastructure
available for the
enterprise. TPU v7
distances the competition
and once more makes the
case for Google Cloud to
be the place for AI.
