On The Cloud Pod this week, the team admits to using the podcast as a way to figure out what day it is. Justin also relents and includes Azure news because he couldn’t handle any more Oracle mobile apps announcements.
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
- Social media influencers can breathe a sigh of relief.
- Amazon is dangling a carrot in front of one of its partners.
- Azure is throwing a spanner in the works.
General News: Not Cool News
- The FBI arrests a man for his plan to kill “70% of the internet” in an AWS bomb attack. 70% is quite a stretch but we’re sure it would have caused a crappy day for a lot of people.
- Hashicorp has released its Boundary 0.2 release with several new features. We’re really excited about this.
- Announcing HashiCorp Terraform 0.15 General Availability. If you believe it, this is really great news.
Amazon Web Services: Good At Compromising
- AWS announces AQUA is now generally available. Justin should have gotten a prediction point for this one.
- Amazon Managed Service for Grafana now offers more support. We’ll see if Grafana can actually make money out of its partnership with Amazon.
- Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL now integrates with AWS Lambda. This is really cool!
- Decrease machine learning costs with instance price reductions and savings plans for Amazon SageMaker. Some pretty significant savings here.
Google Cloud Platform: Colossal
- Google takes a deep dive into its scalable storage solution, Colossus. Nothing new here.
- Google announces tracking index backfill operation
