Disclosure: I used to work on GCE (and was adjacent to the serial port work).
IIRC, we launched interactive serial port access sometime in late 2014. For example, mbrukman answered a SO question on Jan 2, 2015 with connect-to-serial-port [1]. I don’t recall when we gained fancier IAM controls for it, but we’ve had it forever (and I think getting / view only was there at public launch).

- MikeHalcrow 6y agoI did the security review of the GCE serial port back when it first came into existence. We probably know each other. The tech industry really is tiny.
- jsolson 6y agoI will almost guarantee you two know each other (as someone who knows both of you from Google :)

- jsolson 6y agoI feel like our usernames covered that...
- brian_herman 6y agoCan we turn it into an NFT and get more Cereal boxes?

- brian_herman 6y agolol yes
- rrdharan 6y agoYeah I just checked and you’re both listed as authors on the design doc (as am I, amusingly, though I really don’t remember doing anything particularly useful or significant for it).
- boulos 6y agoYou did the original demo/work! I’m really just taking credit for it :). Edit: and really the person who did the most work isn’t mentioned here (that’d be up to them)
