The Cloud Pod

110: They didn’t even call The Cloud Pod about the AWS CEO role

Listen Later

Disappointed not to see Amazon take the opportunity to increase its executive diversity with its new CEO.   

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
    • If Amazon was the royal family, this would be like Harry becoming King.

    • Azure wants to shut The Cloud Pod up for good this time.
      • General News: Nothing Spicy

          • Google is announcing the preview of its Network Connectivity Center. No potatoes, thankfully.   
          • Announcing the newest set of features for Slurm running on Google Cloud. Worst name ever.  
          • Google announces A2 VMs are now generally available with the largest GPU cloud instances with NVIDIA A100 GPUs. Is this the computer version of scalping tickets?    
          • Google announces high-bandwidth network configurations for General Purpose N2 and Compute Optimized C2 Compute Engine VM families. We’d love to know what the technology is behind this.  
            • Azure: Not Happy With The Cloud Pod
            • Azure announces plans to expand the Azure Availability Zones to more regions. We’l
