The best way to understand technology isn’t just by reading documentation — it’s by getting your hands dirty.But let’s be honest: setting up a personal sandbox for cloud experimentation can be intimidating, especially when you’re worried about accidental costs or complex configurations.That’s why I’m so excited to share a “pro-tip” that many professionals overlook: Google Cloud Skills Boost/Google Skills.The Hidden Gem: 35 Free Credits Every Month (Google Skills free tier)Before we dive into the lab, here is the real kicker. Did you know that the Google Skills free tier provides 35 free credits every single month?In a world where everything seems to be moving to a subscription model, having a recurring pool of credits to run actual hands-on labs at no cost is a massive advantage for anyone looking to up skill. Here is how the credit math works:Introductory Labs: 1 credit (You could do 35 of these!)Intermediate Labs: 5 credits (Perfect for a deep dive)Today, I want to highlight a landmark new lab that is a total game-changer for database modernization.The Spotlight: Migrate from Cloud SQL for SQL Server to AlloyDB using DMSIf you’ve ever dealt with “database lock-in,” you know the pain of moving from proprietary T-SQL (SQL Server) to an open-source compatible engine like PostgreSQL. Historically, this meant weeks of manual code rewriting and schema mapping.This Intermediate Migrate from Cloud SQL for SQL Server to AlloyDB for PostgreSQL using Database Migration Service Lab shows you how to do it in hours, not weeks.Why this lab is different:It moves beyond simple data moving. In this lab, you’ll actually:Execute a SQL Server to PostgreSQL Migration: Move a live database from Cloud SQL for SQL Server to AlloyDB for PostgreSQL.AI-Assisted Conversion: Use the DMS Conversion Workspace powered by Gemini to automatically fix incompatible code and explain the changes.Achieve Minimal-Downtime: Run a continuous migration job that keeps the source and destination in sync until the final cutover.Why it MattersModernizing legacy stacks is one of the highest-value activities a team can undertake, but the risk of downtime or “lost in translation” code often holds us back.Understanding how Database Migration Service (DMS) uses AI to remediate schema issues is a superpower. It allows building more aggressive modernization roadmaps and helps bypass the “legacy toolchain” headache.The best part? Since this is an intermediate lab, it costs only 5 credits. With your 35 monthly free credits, you can master the AI-driven database migration and still have 30 credits left to explore other parts of the Google Cloud ecosystem.Ready to boost your skills?Stop reading and start building.

Canadian provinces removed American liquor from store shelves earlier this year.Jennifer Gauthier/REUTERSMost Canadian provinces pulled US booze off their shelves in March to protest Trump's tariffs.Now, some are selling their stockpiles to raise money for food banks and charities ahead of the holidays.Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland are four such provinces.Canada is coming up with ways to put its stockpiled American liquor to good use.Several provinces in the country halted imports of US booze and removed it from store shelves in March in response to President Donald Trump's tariffs.Now, at least four provinces are planning to sell the remaining inventory and donate proceeds to food banks.Canada's far eastern province, Prince Edward Island, told Business Insider that its government will put its stock of American booze, which it had pulled off the shelves, back in stores starting on December 11.A representative for the province's finance department said the government anticipates profits of $600,000 Canadian dollars, or about $434,000, from the sale. The proceeds will be distributed to food banks across the island. The province says it does not intend to place any further orders for American alcohol.The finance office of Newfoundland and Labrador told Business Insider it had made an upfront payment of $500,000 on Tuesday to 60 provincial food banks before the sales of any liquors, a move that will help more than 15,400 people. After the liquor is sold, more donations will go to the food banks for a total sum of up to $1 million.Manitoba and Nova Scotia have similar plans.Manitoba said it will sell its inventory through private retailers and restaurants, with the estimated $500,000 in net revenue going to food banks, holiday charities, children's organizations, and an advocacy group for First Nations.As for Nova Scotia, the province is making a $4 million upfront payment to groups that provide food access, and the money will be recouped when the $14 million worth of liquor is eventually sold."We will not be ordering any more from the United States once this inventory is gone," the province's premier, Tim Houston, said in a statement. "But Nova Scotians have already paid for this product."He added, "We don't want it to go to waste. That's why we're selling it and using the proceeds to help those in need."In Canada, the sale of alcohol is mainly controlled by provincial governments, each of which establishes a board to oversee the matter. Only Alberta has a completely privatized alcohol retail system, while Saskatchewan has a partially privatized system.Canada mainly imports whiskey and bourbon, alongside beer and other spirits, from the US.Other provinces have different plansThe provinces are not taking a one-size-fits-all approach to dealing with their stockpiles of American booze. Some are still undecided about what to do, while others have already sold off their inventory earlier in the year after ceasing imports.A spokesperson for Ontario's finance ministry told Business Insider that the province had no plans to put the booze on store shelves soon."US alcohol will remain off shelves and is being held in storage until further notice," said the spokesperson. "We are currently exploring options for the products."Ontario did not disclose how much inventory it still has, but the province said the inventory it had pulled off the shelves in March was worth around C$80 million.A government representative from the Northwest Territories and a spokesperson of the British Columbia Liquor Distribution Branch both told Business Insider that they ceased US liquor imports in March, but will continue selling the stockpiled products until they are depleted.A Yukon government cabinet representative said Yukon has the same plan.However, the mountainous province of Alberta continues to import and sell American booze."In June this year, Alberta lifted restrictions on the purchase of US alcohol from American companies, signalling a renewed commitment to open and fair trade with our largest partner," a spokesperson of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction told Business Insider.American distillers are hurtingThe matter of US booze has been fueling the trade tension between the two neighbors.The animosity started when Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canada in March and commented that Canada should become a state of the US.Despite later walking back some of his broader tariffs and upholding a previous agreement that ensured most goods remain tariff-free, Trump's moves have drawn the ire of Canadians, who have canceled travel plans and boycotted American goods in stores.According to the Distilled Spirits Council, US spirits exports to Canada plummeted 85% in the second quarter of 2025, falling below $10 million in export value."We hope both the US and Canada can address their respective concerns," said Chris Swonger, the CEO of the council. "And that our products can return to Canadian retail shelves as soon as possible."In March, Kentucky's bourbon makers said Canada's ban on American alcohol would hurt them.Eric Gregory, the president of the Kentucky Distillers' Association, said in March that retaliatory tariffs would have "far-reaching consequences across Kentucky, home to 95% of the world's bourbon."Read the original article on Business Insider
