On The Cloud Pod this week, Peter turns into an old man in his yard, yelling at cloud providers. 

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.
    • Cloud Academy, which provides an intuitive and scalable training platform to meet teams wherever they are along the cloud maturity curve. Use the code THECLOUDPOD for 50% off its training platform. 
      •  This week’s highlights
      • The big cloud providers must not tell lies about their cloud customers.
      • Google keeps us guessing if features will survive after the Preview.
      • Microsoft launches the world’s smallest Machine Learning degree.

          • Amazon EventBridge now supports Dead Letter Queues, making event-driven applications more resilient. We love this! 
          • Amazon EKS now officially supports Kubernetes version 1.18. We’re taking bets on when version 1.19 comes out.
            • Google Cloud Platform: Apply Sunscreen
            • Google announces that all new GCP products will launch in Preview or General Availability. Tread carefully here — we’ve been burne
