New Capabilities to Power Agents at Scale with Google's Agentic Data Cloud
Google, Wednesday, November 4th, 2026
Google announced updates to its Agentic Data Cloud, including cross-cloud querying in the borderless Lakehouse and Gemini on lakehouse data.
Google Cloud's Sirish Chandrasekaran outlines new capabilities for the Agentic Data Cloud, which Google says customers such as PayPal, Siemens, Telus, Vodafone and Walmart already use.
The borderless Lakehouse, built on Apache Iceberg, aims to give agents one governed foundation across multi-cloud, on-premises and SaaS data, and integrates with Knowledge Catalog to index distributed and unstructured data for agent context.
Gemini now works directly on the lakehouse so business users can query records across clouds in natural language.
Cross-cloud interconnect and caching for AWS and Azure is now generally available with zero variable egress fees, and Iceberg catalog federation covers Databricks Unity, Snowflake Horizon and AWS Glue.
