The Cloud Pod

112: The Cloud Pod bots are in control

Listen Later

On The Cloud Pod this week, the team discusses the future of the podcast and how they’ll know they’ve made it when listeners use Twitter to bombard Ryan with hatred when he’s wrong. 

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
    • Amazon gives Justin a long overdue birthday present.
    • Google wants to educate the people.
    • Azure has a new best friend but could they be a wolf in sheep’s clothing?
      • General News: Goodbye, Friend
      • The Apache foundation has decided to send Mesos to the attic. This makes us sad because we loved the concept.
        • Amazon Web Services: Happy Birthday, Justin
        • New AWS WAF Bot Control to reduce unwanted website traffic. This is great!
        • AWS is releasing the Amazon Route 53 Resolver DNS firewall to defend against DNS-level threats. Pricing is interesting on this one.
        • AWS launches CloudWatch Metric Streams. After years of complaints, they’re finally fixing this issue. 
        • AWS Lambda@Edge changes duration billing granularity from 50ms down to 1ms. Nice price cut!
        • AWS Direct Connect announces MACsec encryption for dedicated 10Gbps and 100Gbps connections at select locations. AWS has fulfilled their promise to Justin — three years later.
        • Amazon announces new predictable pricing model up to 90% lower and Python Support moves to GA for CodeGuru Reviewer. If this goes down next week, blame Ryan. 
          • Google Cloud Platform: So Pretty
          • Google is releasing an open-source set of JSON dashboards. This is super important.  
          • Google announces free AI and machine learning
