It’s Peter’s washing night so please enjoy the soothing sounds of the odd spin cycle as we dive into the huge news coming out of Amazon 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
      • America’s version of Queen Elizabeth has stepped down.
      • Google is a bit late to the party but brings the ice so we forgive its team.
      • Azure is trying to claim it came first but the chicken says otherwise.
        • Follow Up: A Bit Slack

        • Amazon announces financial results and CEO transition. That’s some crazy profit. 
        • Outgoing Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos addresses employees. But who will head AWS now?  
          • Amazon Web Services: Bon Voyage, Bezos
          • AWS launches multiple private marketplace catalogs for AWS organizations. Not a problem any of us have so not wowed by this. 
          • AWS PrivateLink for Amazon S3 is now generally available. We like it but don’t like the pricing. 
          • Amazon Macie announces a slew of new capabilities. Check out our sponsor OpenRaven, which is much better at solving the same issue and is much cheaper.
            • Google Cloud Platform: Stop Blaming Our Database
            • Google announces
