Listen Later

Your hosts set right what once went wrong in this week’s quantum episode of The Cloud Pod.

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.
  • Commvault is data-management done differently. It allows you to translate your virtual workloads to a cloud provider automatically, greatly simplifying the move to the cloud or your disaster recovery solution to the cloud.
  • live@Manning: Sign up for RustConf and Manning’s Women in Tech conferences here.
    • This week’s highlights
    • Amazon and Rackspace may be growing closer soon.
    • Your hosts may or may not know how quantum computing works.
    • Google is now available for 35 more minutes out of the month.
      • General: High Stakes
      • Reuters reported that Amazon is looking to acquire a stake in cloud infrastructure and services company Rackspace Technology. It is unclear exactly how much of the company Amazon may buy.
        • AWS: A Discrete Quantity of Computers
        • You can now run Amazon Braket on real or simulated quantum chips. We’ll try to explain quantum computing to you if we ever understand it ourselves.
        • AWS Step Functions has been updated to Amazon State Language. Alright, let’s learn this thing the hard way!
        • AWS Security Hub Automated Response & Remediation is now generally available. It’s an old architecture, but cool to see formalized.
        • The new Distributor capability of AWS Systems Manager installs and manages third party agents, and that’s pretty cool.
        • AWS Fargate for Elastic Kubernetes Service and Elastic Container Service now supports Elastic File System. It’s the interface that really makes it work.
        • Amazon Elastic Container Service now supports EC2 Inf1 instances.
