Cloud technology has come a long way and continues to evolve. This week I'm joined by Aberdeen's Jim Rapoza to take a look at where the cloud is now, where it's come from, and make a few guesses at where it's going. Are you using the right technologies? Do you have the right mix of public and private clouds? Tune in to find out!

The cloud is no longer new, and ingrained processes around managing it are the norm. But, is the old way still the best way? We’re joined by CloudBolt’s Grant Ho to discuss the ways cloud automation is introducing new processes and new possibilities for your cloud environment.

We’re joined this week by Kumolus Co-founder and CloudBolt CTO Michael Salleo to discuss what we’re dubbing “the governance problem”. We explore the growing oversight challenges that every organization deals with in regards to cloud usage, how those challenges change based on company size, industry, and the ways they aren’t so different across the board. What issues have arisen during the pandemic? Can you define a term as broad as “cloud governance”? Can governance be automated? We answer these questions and more.

What does Cloud Management mean in 2021? Does the term mean too many things to too many people?  Is there still a use for a Cloud Management Platform? On this week's Cloud Junkies we explore these questions and more with CloudBolt CTO, Rick Kilcoyne, and search for answers while attempting to lend some clarity to an industry that has seen rapid expansion in the past few years.

On the very first episode of The Cloud Junkies, I sit down with CloudBolt's founders, Auggy da Rocha and Bernard Sanders, for a discussion about the evolution of cloud technology, how it ties into both the founding and growth of CloudBolt, and explore what it takes to grow a cloud management company from the ground up.
