Show Notes

Google Next Eve!

Welcome episode 225 of The CloudPod Podcast - where the forecast is always cloudy! Justin, Jonathan, and Ryan are your hosts this week as we discuss all things Google Next! We talk schedule offerings, make our predictions about announcements, and prepare to be generally wrong about everything. Also - do you like stickers? Everyone likes stickers! Be on the lookout for us, and maybe you can have one. 

Titles we almost went with this week:

None! Google Next is the next big thing, so of course it’s the title. 

A big thanks to this week’s sponsor:

Pre-Show

01:23 Following up on some HashiCorp News:  HashiCorp updates licensing FAQ based on community questions  03:43 Ryan - “I think this is the right response, right? And I know that I'm probably in the minority of being sort of appeased by this in the community; because I think that the torches and pitchforks will not go away. But what this does is allow - if there's any kind of gray area in the future - it allows for litigation. And I think that that's sort of important, they're putting their stance out there. This will be referenced if it ever comes to it, as public facing statements. They're not trying to blow up the community. They're not trying to make sure no one uses it. What they're trying to do is make sure that they can still make money, which I think is good, right? I do want HashiCorp to stay around. I want them to be profitable. I want them to continue to deliver products.”

General News this Week:

Here's a one-stop shop for the person who has no understanding of our workload, but they understand policy. Thank you very much.” 18:53 Google Next Predictions: Ryan Lucas Jonathan Baker (Sneaky, sneaky Jonathan…) Justin Brodley Matt Kohn Main Stage New Features / Products (The Tie Breaker)  Justin: 6 Jonathan: 9 Ryan: 1
