Google Cloud Speech Versions - google-cloud-platform

Google Cloud Speech API has few versions. If I need develop an app using Cloud Speech what version should I need to use?
1.com.google.cloud.speech.v1beta1.
2.com.google.cloud.speech.v1p1beta1.*
3.com.google.cloud.speech.v1
What are the differences between each version?

According to Google Speech API release notes, v1beta1 is deprecated as of April 2017.
https://cloud.google.com/speech/release-notes
You should use com.google.cloud.speech.v1
Generally speaking, beta versions work for testing new features that are not available yet, but they are dynamic and some features may change before the final version. They are not recommended for production code.

Working with google cloud storage in julia applications

I have a query related to the google cloud storage for julia application.
Currently, I am hosting a julia application (docker container) on GCP and would like to allow the app to utilize cloud storage buckets to write and read the data.
I have explored few packages which promise to do this operation.
GoogleCloud.jl
This package in the docs show a clear and concise representation of the implementation. However, adding this package result in incremental compilation warning with many of the packages failing to compile. I have opened an issue on their github page : https://github.com/JuliaCloud/GoogleCloud.jl/issues/41
GCP.jl
The scope is limited, currently the only support is for BigQuery
Python package google
This is quite informative and operational but will take a toll on the code's performance. But do advise if this is the only viable option.
I would like to know are there other methods which can be used to configure a julia app to work with google storage?
Thanks look forward to the suggestions!
GCP.jl is promising plus you may be able to do with gRPC if Julia support gRPC (see below).
Discovery
Google has 2 types of SDK (aka Client Library). API Client Libraries are available for all Google's APIs|services.
Cloud Client Libraries are newer, more language idiosyncratic but only available for Cloud. Google Cloud Storage (GCS) is part of Cloud but, in this case, I think an API Client Library is worth pursuing...
Google's API (!) Client Libraries are auto-generated from a so-called Discovery document. Interestingly, GCP.jl specifically describes using Discovery to generate the BigQuery SDK and mentions that you can use the same mechanism for any other API Client Library (i.e. GCS).
NOTE Explanation of Google Discovery
I'm unfamiliar with Julia but, if you can understand enough of that repo to confirm that it's using the Discovery document to generate APIs and, if you can work out how to reconfigure it for GCS, this approach would provide you with a 100% fidelity SDK for Cloud Storage (and any other Google API|service).
Someone else tried to use the code to generate an SDK for Sheets and had an issue so it may not be perfect.
gRPC
Google publishes for the subset of its services that support gRPC. If you'd prefer to use gRPC, it ought be possible to use the Protobufs in Google's repo to define a gRPC client for Cloud Storage

How often do Cloud Build Node.js versions update?

I couldn't stomach purchasing the $150 for GCP's support service for this one question. I'm just looking to understand the schedule for Cloud Build Node.js versions. It's still stuck on Node.js v10.10 and my projects are starting to require higher versions to build. According to Cloud Build's changelog, I don't believe the Node.js version has updated in years. Any ideas?
As per the official Github repository:
Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js.
So, this means it should work with Node.js 12 and the updates should be more constant. In addition to that, in here, it says that if you are using a Cloud Build config file, you can use Node.js 12, so the Node.js' latest version should be compatible with Cloud Build.
To summarize, by the repository, it should follow Node.js schedule. However, in case you think this is not occurring, I would recommend you to raise a bug on the Google's Issue Tracker - it's free, by the way - so they can assess this.

GitLab support for Google Cloud Platform's Container Builder

Is it possible to link GitLab to Container Builder with full support for automated triggers for builds? If no then is this expected in the coming future?
This is not possible today. We don't have definitive plans to support this on our immediate roadmap.

Google Cloud ML Tensorflow Version

The docs for setting up Google Cloud ML suggest installing Tensorflow version r0.11. I've observed that TensorFlow functions newly available in r0.12 raise exceptions when run on Cloud ML. Is there a timeline for Cloud ML supporting r0.12? Will switching between r0.11 and r0.12 be optional or mandatory?
Yes, you can specify --runtime-version=0.12 to get a 0.12 build. This is a new feature and is documented at https://cloud.google.com/ml/docs/concepts/runtime-version-list
Note, however, that the 0.12 build is not yet considered stable and the exact Tensorflow build provided may change. Once the 1.0 version of Tensorflow is available, that will also be supported and the pre-1.0 versions of Tensorflow will begin to be deprecated.
(See https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/beta/ml/jobs/submit/training for usage.)

Node.js 0.8.2 on CloudFoundry Micro edition 1.2

The documentation for CloudFoundry indicates that Node.js version 0.8.2 is supported. However, when I run "vmc runtimes" against my local micro edition, it only lists node and node06 (not node08)
I'm running 0.8.2 locally on my box -- how can I upgrade Micro edition so that it also has 0.8.2 installed?
Micro Cloud Foundry 1.2 was released before Node.js 0.8.2 support was added. MCF currently cannot be upgraded to support it. However, a new MCF version is planned for the very near future which will bring parity to all the feature on CloudFoundry.com. We also plan a faster release cadence of MCF so it doesn't fall behind on features.
It's not completely trivial to patch MCF 1.2 to add node 0.8, you'd need to install the relevant packages as well as add information to the Cloud Foundry manifest files to enable it to advertise the node08 runtime.
However, the next Micro Cloud Foundry release should be available pretty soon so if you can hold on just a little longer, we should have some good news for you :-)
Out of interest, what application are you looking to build / run that requires 0.8.x?
Micro Cloud Foundry has just been updated to be in sync with the codebase on github so it now supports Node.js 0.8.2. Read the announcement here: http://blog.cloudfoundry.com/2012/11/08/new-release-of-micro-cloud-foundry/
