Listen Later

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.
