Top Quotes  

“All the cloud providers are embracing containerization and the technologies that allow containerized workloads to work well on their platform. But the side effect is that they also run equally well on everybody else’s platform.” 

“[As Vice President of Google Cloud Phil Venables wrote in a blog post,] ‘The race by deep-pocketed cloud providers to create and implement leading secure technologies is the tip of the spear of innovation.’ Which is interesting, because I think this is an area where Google’s really crushed it, and I think Amazon has failed. Not failed, but not invested as much as they should have.”

General News: Google Acquires Siemplify

AWS: Plenty of Non-Outage News

GCP: Phil Venables on the Keyboard

Oracle: Throwing Shapes
