Google Cloud announced new virtual machines as part of its cloud platform based on Intel’s newest Xeon Scalable processors.In addition to the new C3 virtual machine series, Google also announced it is deploying Infrastructure Processing Units (IPU), which are designed to intelligently route network traffic and take the load of network data processing off the CPU. The company made the announcements at its Google Cloud Next ’22 conference held virtually.The IPU chip, formally known as the E2000, was co-designed by Google and Intel together and features 16 Arm Neoverse cores and 200GbE networking.C3 machine instances deliver performance gains of up to 20% over previous generation of C2 instances. They also benefit from a recent product launch called Hyperdisk, a block storage system that offers 80% higher IOPS per vCPU for data analytics and DBMS workloads when compared to other hyperscalers,To read this article in full, please click here

Welcome to our DDoS Threat Report for the third quarter of 2022. This report includes insights and trends about the DDoS threat landscape - as observed across Cloudflare’s global network.
Multi-terabit strong DDoS attacks have become increasingly frequent. In Q3, Cloudflare automatically detected and mitigated multiple attacks that exceeded 1 Tbps. The largest attack was a 2.5 Tbps DDoS attack launched by a Mirai botnet variant, aimed at the Minecraft server, Wynncraft. This is the largest attack we’ve ever seen from the bitrate perspective.
It was a multi-vector attack consisting of UDP and TCP floods. However, Wynncraft, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game Minecraft server where hundreds and thousands of users can play on the same server, didn’t even notice the attack, since Cloudflare filtered it out for them.
The 2.5 Tbps DDoS attack that targeted Wynncraft — launched by Mirai
General DDoS attack trends
Overall this quarter, we've seen:
An increase in DDoS attacks compared to last year.
Longer-lasting volumetric attacks, a spike in attacks generated by the Mirai botnet and its variants.
