This week’s highlights
- We take a good, hard look at the ways Google Cloud has AWS beat.
- Microsoft Build 2020 featured the fifth most powerful computer in the world.
- Google Cloud Next is here to stay for a long, long time.
General News: Let Me Count the Ways
- Peter Wayner of InfoWorld wrote an article listing the 13 ways Google Cloud beats AWS. Well…he didn’t say they were all good reasons.
AWS: That’s a MTHFL
- AWS announced the Cloud Development Kit for Kubernetes called cdk8s is now in alpha. Rolls right off the tongue, doesn’t it?
- You can now use Attribute-based access control with EC2 Instance Connect to define Secure Shell access permissions based on attributes. It’s good to move away from passing around all those extra keys.
- State Manager features for Systems Manager now integrate with AWS CloudFormation. Assuming we’re parsing the naming conventions correctly in these press releases, that’s good news!
- Amazon CodeGuru Profiler added -javaagent switch, and CodeGuru Reviewer now supports Atlassian Bitbucket Cloud. Obviously, profiling and reviewing are totally different services — how could anyone get those mixed up?
- The AWS CloudTrail console has been redesigned. It’s just the S3 user interface again, so it’s not a very intuitive interface.
- Amazon Elastic Container Service now ← All episodes of The Cloud Pod | Weekly AI & Cloud News on AWS, Azure & GCP
