Listen Later

On The Cloud Pod this week, Jonathan has returned and is sitting in his garage letting it get darker and darker before he turns a light on.  Gartner says low-code is growing!! NOOOOOO!

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
    • AWS is teaming up with TV to make hockey more exciting. 
    • Google is no longer stuck in the 90s. 
    • Oracle thinks it’s ruggedly handsome — it is not.
      • Follow Up: Somebody’s In Trouble
      • SolarWinds hackers downloaded some Microsoft source code for Azure, Exchange and Intune. Intune is probably the most damaging — this is not good news for Microsoft.
        • General News: The Glowing Puck
        • Gartner is reporting that Low-Code development tool growth has grown 23% this year. Gartner, pay to play.  
        • AWS provides the National Hockey League with cloud, AI and machine learning services. It’s great to see computer tech adding to viewer engagement. 
        • Hashicorp announces the general availability of the Terraform Cloud Operator for Kubernetes. It’s an interesting solution to a very hard problem. 
          • Amazon Web Services: Everyone’s On Vacation 
          • Amazon EC2 Mac Instances now support macOS Big Sur. Completely stunned by this, aren’t you.
          • Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling now shows scaling history for deleted groups. This actually solves a small but annoying problem for Justin.   
            • Google Cloud Platform: Jumping Back To 1994
            • Google introduces schedule-based autoscaling for Compute Engine. Finally catching up to Azure and AWS, both of which have had this for a few years now.  
            • Google adds several new features to Google Cloud VMware Engines to support workloads moving from the cloud. We just want the VMware tools.   
            • Google launches Cloud Domains to make it easy to register and use custom domains within its platform.
