On The Cloud Pod this week, Ryan has given all his money to the Amazon press team to write really confusing headlines just to annoy Peter. Also, Jonathan is missing presumed cranky buns.
A big thanks to this week’s sponsors:
- Foghorn Consulting, which provides full-stack cloud solutions with a focus on strategy, planning and execution for enterprises seeking to take advantage of the transformative capabilities of AWS, Google Cloud and Azure.
This week’s highlights
- IBM is spinning off its infrastructure services business — the new public company will be called “Kyndryl.”
- Teresa Carlson has left the AWS building. The AWS VP is headed to big-data analytics company Splunk Inc. as its new chief growth officer.
- Google’s like the cool kids who know how to party.
General News: Eventual Degradation of Profits
- IBM to name its infrastructure services business “Kyndryl”. We hope they didn’t spend a lot of money coming up with that name.
- Top AWS executive Teresa Carlson joins Splunk as President and Chief Growth Officer. We thought she might have been a candidate to succeed Andy Jassy.
Amazon Web Services: 5G Not Included
- AWS formally launches the OpenSearch project. Seems like it’s listened to the open source feedback.
- Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling introduces Warm Pools to accelerate scale-out while saving money. Please don’t let Andy name anything.
- AWS and Verizon team up to provide 5G-powered edge computing infrastructure. Justin got his COVID-19 vaccination and was disappointed it didn’t come with 5G.
- Amazon Redshift now supports data sharing when producer clusters are paused. We wonder what underlying tech made this possible?
Google Cloud Platform: Excel at No Code
- Leaf Space enables next-gen satellites on Google Cloud. This fills a very obvious gap in the market and is pretty cool.
- Google introduces a new blog series: Cloud CISO perspectives. Hopefully
