You can't trip and fall in Enterprise IT these days without someone mentioning the "C" word...and we're not talking about croissants.  We've all heard the Inigo Montoya quote used all over the agile world, but nowhere is it more appropriate than in the cloud space....so to help people understand what "cloud" really means, we brought in the experts: Container Solutions CEO Jamie Dobson and CRO Pini Reznik! We discuss the central tenets of cloud computing, why it's not just a technology play but also a culture play, and we even touch on some European football.  Cheers!   If you enjoyed this episode, please give us a review, a rating, or leave comments on iTunes, Stitcher or your podcasting platform of choice.
