"Security vendor Palo Alto Networks is expanding its Google Cloud partnership, saying it will move "key internal workloads" onto the Chocolate Factory's infrastructure. The outfit also claims it is tightening integrations between its security tools and Google Cloud to deliver what it calls a "unified" security experience. At the same time, Palo Alto may trim its own cloud purchase commitments."
"With Palo Alto committed to spending at least $6.3 billion over the next few years on cloud services alone through 2031, according to SEC filings, the deal appears to be a massive win for Google over rivals AWS and Microsoft Azure. In a press release on Friday, Palo Alto Networks said it was expanding its commitment to run its security platforms on Google Cloud's "secure, trusted AI infrastructure by migrating key internal workloads to Google Cloud in a new multibillion-dollar agreement.""
