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.”

        • 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:
