Google Cloud will also be unveiling a number of new product innovations at Next '20: OnAir, including:
-- Multi-cloud analytics: BigQuery Omni, powered by Anthos, is a new,
flexible multi-cloud analytics solution that lets customers

Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Azure (coming soon). With BigQuery Omni,
enterprises will have the flexibility they need to break down data silos
and create actionable business insights, from a single user interface,
all without having to pay expensive egress fees for moving data across
other cloud providers to Google Cloud.
-- Real-time encryption in-use: Confidential VMs, now in Beta, is the first
product in Google Cloud's Confidential Computing portfolio. Customers
can run workloads in Google Cloud while ensuring the data is encrypted
not only at rest and in transit, but while it's being processed as well.
This in turn helps remove cloud adoption barriers for customers in
highly regulated industries.
-- New features for compliance requirements: Assured Workloads for
Government will offer customers the ability to easily and quickly create
controlled environments where U.S. data location and personnel access
controls are automatically enforced in any of its U.S. cloud regions.
