Cloud and AI news, Nov 5: Google Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash

Transcript

Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash now generates video up to 15 seconds long and upscales to 4K. Plus Cloud Run ephemeral disk, DynamoDB bulk put items, Front Door TLS policy and two more, in Thursday's cloud updates.

Its video output price is also 30 percent lower, at $12.00 per 1M tokens, so it costs less to run.

Cloud Run can now mount an ephemeral disk, a volume that persists only for the life of an instance.

Over at AWS, DynamoDB bulk put items now writes S3 files into existing tables, with per-item condition expressions.

Over on Azure, Front Door now has configurable TLS key exchange policies that add hybrid post-quantum groups.

From Cloudflare, Services for Private Origins proxies public hostnames to private network origins over WAN, Tunnel, or Mesh.

Over at Cloudflare, Workers AI will retire 24 language, image, speech and embedding models on November 15, 2026.

So, that's Thursday. The one to act on: Cloudflare retires 24 Workers AI models on November 15, 2026, so move off them before then.

Follow for tomorrow's updates. The full list is at cloud changelog dot com.
