On The Cloud Pod this week, the team admits to using the podcast as a way to figure out what day it is. Justin also relents and includes Azure news because he couldn’t handle any more Oracle mobile apps announcements. 

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
    • Social media influencers can breathe a sigh of relief
    • Amazon is dangling a carrot in front of one of its partners

        • Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL now integrates with AWS Lambda. This is really cool! 
        • Decrease machine learning costs with instance price reductions and savings plans for Amazon SageMaker. Some pretty significant savings here.  
        • Google Cloud Platform: Colossal
          • Google takes a deep dive into its scalable storage solution, Colossus. Nothing new here. 
          • Google announces tracking index backf
