This week on The Cloud Pod, the team discusses the fine art of writing the podcast show notes so there are bullet points for when Peter shows up without doing the homework.      

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 is catering to the unimaginative with its version of a vanilla milkshake.
    • Google now performs commitment ceremonies but they come at a cost.
    • Azure did an online pastry course and can now make croissants. 
      • General News: La France Est Méconnaître Amazon (France Is Ignoring Amazon)
      • VMware picks longtime executive Raghuram as its new CEO. So many people were overlooked for this position.  
      • France says Google and Microsoft Cloud Services are OK for storing sensitive data. Bit of a snub for Amazon.    
        • Amazon Web Services: Busy Little Bees
        • AWS SaaS Boost released as open source. Sounds more like a product than it actually is.   
        • AWS announces general availability of AWS Application Migration Service. If play is to lift and shift, with no thought of transformation at all, this is for you.    
        • AWS CloudFormation Guard 2.0 is now generally available. It’s great that this supports more than just cloud transformation. 
        • AWS Premium Support launches Support Automation Workflows (SAW). This will make the exchange of data so much easier. 
        • Amazon Elasticsearch Service announces a new lower-cost storage tier. This is great news for everybody. 
        • Amazon announces the release of EKS 1.20 — the raddest release ever.  
        • AWS launches another way to run containers with App Runner. Just in case you don’t want to use one of the other billion container services.
