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.

        • 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: Cloud CISO perspectives. Hopefully
