Helping SaaS companies run reliably on Google Cloud

PARTNERS Helping SaaS companies run reliably on Google Cloud Chirag Mehta Global Technology Partners Henry Robertson Customer Reliability Engineering August 16, 2018 Two years ago,  we announced  Customer Reliability Engineering (CRE) with the aim to share operational fate with our customers and give them more control over the critical applications they're entrusting to us. Since then we’ve worked with a number of companies, and we’ve seen that the more systems a business has collected, inherited, or acquired, the greater its operational burden. These businesses often know that moving to the cloud can decrease that burden, offering them security, scalability, and cost benefits, but worry that those benefits come at the expense of control.

Once you press the “send” button in gmail, it’s gone and it’s out of your control. You can’t do anything about it. Either you can press “undo” as quickly as you can or ask the relevant person or party to delete it. What if you lose both the chances? Though we ask a relevant party to delete, there is only a 50% chance that it will get deleted, maybe it is deleted after taking a copy, so you are actually helpless at this moment. So to get some control into your hand Google has introduced an amazing feature called “Confidential Mode” to keep your things safe & secure. You can call it a “life saving option.” Because this option will not let a person forward the mail, will not let anybody to download or copy. Gmail prevents a person from doing above 3 things and also did you know that you can make an email get expired or vanished according to your preferences? Yes now you can do it…. After typing the email & attaching the documents, you can click on the clock ic

With this launch, you can use the Google Vault API to: create an export —send a request to export messages and files that match your criteria. list exports —retrieve the status of all exports associated with a matter. get an export —retrieve the status of an export anytime, and if the export is completed, download that export using the standard Cloud Storage API. delete an export —remove an export from a matter when it’s no longer needed. For more information, check out the Google Vault API Developers Guide.
