What's the deal with cloud technology? How does it actually work, what do people get wrong about cloud strategy and optimization, and why should we be treating cloud as a business model, rather than a technology project?

In this episode, we break down the costs, consider optimization in practice, chat about the role of culture and accountability, and look towards the future.

We are joined by Karind Ori, a tech entrepreneur and cloud strategist who believes cloud isn’t just tech – it’s a business model.

    • Software: My banking app
    • Book: The Art of Resilience by Ross Edgley
