The Cloud Pod Gets Their Groove Back — Episode 74

Your co-hosts have cooked up a good one on this week’s episode of The Cloud Pod.

A big thanks to this week’s sponsor:

  • 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
    • Your co-hosts cover DockerCon 2020.
    • Chef announced several new features at ChefConf 2020.
    • Google Cloud Platform (GCP) teaches you how to take an online certification exam.
      • General News: Prince Ali
      • Mirantis has released the first major update to Docker Enterprise since it acquired the platform in November — a loss for the startup community.
      • Over 60,000 people registered for the online DockerCon, the first DockerCon after the loss of Enterprise. During the keynote, Docker CEO Scott Johnston announced a strategic partnership with Microsoft.
      • Chinese cloud titan Alibaba’s revenue grew 62% in the first quarter of 2020, though it remains behind AWS, Microsoft and Google for now. With the regional advantage, it seems all Alibaba needs to do is maintain parity with AWS features to stay on top.
        • Chef Conference: Too Many Cooks
        • Predominant Configuration Management software platform and TCP punching-bag Chef held their virtual ChefConf where they debuted several new capabilities.
          • Chef Compliance now features Chef Compliance Audit and Chef Compliance Remediation.

          • Chef Infra and Chef Automate now integrate with ServiceNow Configuration Management Database.
            • AWS: No Back-SaaS
            • Upgrading contracts for SaaS and usage-based products on the AWS Marketplace is now easier. Look to this for grabbing those high-volume discounts when scaling up.
            • AWS Single Sign-On now
