Episode 102: The Cloud Pod is NOT OK

Listen Later

It’s a Wednesday so things could be better, but spare a thought for the team as they battle Mother Nature on The Cloud Pod this week.

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.
    • Open Raven, the cloud native data protection platform that automates policy monitoring and enforcement. Auto-discover, classify, monitor and protect your sensitive data.
      • This week’s highlights
      • Amazon is forking people off big time.
      • Google wants to help you lose those pandemic lockdown pounds.

          • Amazon Web Services: Let’s Talk
          • AWS Lex has released a new console experience and new V2 APIs to make it easier to build, deploy and manage conversational experiences. We’ve played with it and it’s very nice.     
          • Amazon CloudWatch Agent now supports OpenTelemetry APIs and Software Development Kits. Could be a sign it’s about to make a lot of investments in OpenTelemetry and is moving away from CloudWatch. 
          • Amazon GuardDuty enhances security incident investigation workflows through new integration with Amazon Detective. Integrated security — we like it!  
          • Amazon Chime SDKs for iOS and Android now support screen share. It’s great it has functionality that other apps have had from the start.
          • Amazon ECS Agent v1.50.0 allows customers to
