Episode description
On The Cloud Pod this week, Jonathan is getting his beauty sleep so you’ll have to make do with the comic stylings of Justin, Peter and Ryan.
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.
- Like The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Amazon is turning into a beautiful butterfly.
- Google is helping to monetize Jonathan’s beauty sleep.
- It’s the end of the world, we can Azure you.
- AWS announces Amplify Flutter is now generally available. Get your flutter on in the cloud.
- Amazon EKS now supports Kubernetes version 1.19. Weird use case, but OK.
- AWS Direct Connect announces native 100 Gbps dedicated connections at select locations. No discount for more data — well done, Amazon.
- Easily build Kubernetes applications that span multiple clusters with Google’s new multi-cluster services (MCS). Now you can have your cake and eat it, too!
- Google announces general availability of Service Directory. Now Jonathan makes money while he sleeps.
- Google announces 9TB SSDs to bring ultimate IOPS per dollar to Compute Engine VMs. Still not that exciting.
- Azure announces Firewall Premium is now in preview. No more excuses for sticking with standard firewall protection.
- Microsoft will establish its next U.S. datacenter region in Georgia’s Fulton and Douglas Counties. Not only did Georgia go blue, they went Azure blue.
- Azure announces partnership with HPE and the upcoming launch of the Spaceborne Computer-2 (SBC-2). Also known as SkyNet.
- Azure has added the ability to backup Linux systems with Azure Backup. This is such a no-brainer; all cloud providers should have this.
⚡ Justin will have nightmares about supporting more than 2 TB of memory in SAP HANA but at least he takes this week’s point, leaving scores at Justin (3), Ryan (1), Jonathan (2).
