How Google Does It: How we secure our own cloud | Google Cloud Blog Take a peek under the hood at how we use and secure our own cloud environments, as part of our new "How Google Does It" series.

I don't get to talk about what I do Google nearly as much these days, so I love to share when I can. @sethvargo.com and Seth Rosenblatt put together an article that pulls the curtain back a little bit, showing how we operate Google Cloud at Google scale.

Iโ€™m skeptical that #GitHub meant to deploy the text "color-bg-inset" on their home page. Looks like it was supposed to be a CSS class?
