This week on The Cloud Pod, Justin is away so the rest of the team has taken the opportunity to throw him under the bus.    

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
    • The Pentagon has had enough of the kids fighting so no one gets the toy.
    • Amazon has given developers the happy ending they’ve always wanted.

        • Amazon now lets you create Microsoft SQL Server Instances of Amazon RDS on AWS Outposts. A big hooray for people using Outposts. 
          • Google Cloud Platform: Smells A Bit
