Listen Later

On The Cloud Pod this week, the team acknowledges the very real issue of canine confusion as a result of everyone wearing face masks. 

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
      • Amazon is in the Halloween spirit with its tricky new feature
      • Google is solving a potentially nonexistent problem for retailers.
      • Microsoft is sending Azure into spaaaaaaaaaaace to power satellite projects.  
      • General News: All About Hash(iconf)
        • HashiCorp Consul is now available in public beta while Vault is available in private beta. We’re hesitant to trust anything from HashiCorp.
        • Terraform 0.14 is now available in beta and includes feature improvements in security, visibility and stability. Justin looks forward to the upgrade that breaks everything later this year.
        • HashiCorp Consul 1.9 introduces new service mesh visualization tools. Pretty minor but cool! 
        • HashiCorp launches Boundary for simple and secure remote access based on trusted identity. We see huge potential in this.
        • HashiCorp launches Waypoint, a new open source project that provides developers a consistent workflow. These types of announcements are a dagger through Ryan’s heart.    
        • HashiCorp introduces Consul Terraform Sync, a new tool for automating network infrastructure. Really powerful but really packed in a way we don’t understand. 
        • Amazon Web Services: Handy
          • Amazon launches Cloudwatch Synthetics Recorder, a Chrome browser extension, to help monitor endpoints and APIs. We hope this does better than others we’ve tried in the past. 
          • Amazon announces better cost-performance for Amazon Relational Database Service databases. Has some rough edges but once you overcome them, this is rock solid.
          • Amazon Aurora now enables dynamic resizing
