Listen Later

Peter’s returned from his trip to Asia and the band’s back together on this 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.
  • Blue Medora, which offers pioneering IT monitoring integration as a service to address today’s IT challenges by easily connecting system health and performance data —  no matter its source — with the world’s leading monitoring and analytics platforms. 
  • This week’s highlights
    • Registration for Amazon Re:Mars 2020 is now open! Academics can use code ACAD20REMARS for a discount.
    • Google releases several new tools for building and managing data pipelines.
    • We tried out a new format for our lightning round!
    • Amazon Web Services: To Infinity and Beyond

      Registration is open for the Amazon Re:Mars 2020 robotics and technology conference running June 16-19 in Las Vegas. Tickets cost $1,999, but astronauts get in free! Academics and students registering with a .edu email address can use the discount code ACAD20REMARS if a couple grand is too pricey.
