At Google Cloud Next, we’re announcing a range of compute capabilities to enable your core general purpose and AI workloads for the agentic world with higher performance and lower costs. Why it matters: IT leaders and builders are faced with balancing compute investments and resources between agentic AI and the general purpose use cases, including the web servers, databases, and enterprise applications that drive everyday customer experiences.  On one side, agents can place unpredictable demand on compute infrastructure, often scaling exponentially. A single user interaction can instantaneously kick off hundreds of concurrent, high-throughput, and low-latency tasks. On the other side, general-purpose workloads generate and hold the data required to fuel the agentic world.…
