General News this Week:

01:23 Introducing Code Llama, a state-of-the-art large language model for coding   04:08 Matthew - “It's interesting; if you go deep into the article there, they start to digress into like ‘Hey, this 7 and the 13 billion are better for near real time response back’ and the 34 billion…  is better for fine tuning for yourself. So they really go into a little bit more detail of how to do it. And, you know, I think they also put out some code snippets if you kind of dive into it a little bit more, which I thought was very nice.” 05:32 OpenTF Announces Fork of Terraform  06:37 Vlad Ionescu Open TF is a Joke  07:39 Ryan  - “It's gonna be hard to get community support to drive a fork for something as large as Terraform. I agree that it's going to be a challenge. I don't know if I agree with anything else. I was trying to read the thread and trying to sort of not have a visceral reaction to the tone and it's just, it's while complaining about drama in the most dramatic way possible. It sort of defeated the purpose for me and I was like I was looking for a little bit more insight because I haven't. I go very deep and I haven't really formed an opinion on if this is a good idea or not. Yeah, I don't know. I think the jury's still out and continue to watch and see if it takes.” 11:44 Matthew - “I'm sure you guys remember when elastic search moved over, they like made it so that you can't connect with a non elastic search connector to it. And like, I'm just kind of envisioning that happening where like AWS, you know, Terraform AWS updates their provider to not only allow  this, and it becomes a chicken and egg…  you did this, we do this. I feel like Palm OS did it with iTunes back in the day… we connected to iTunes and then Apple blocked it. Like I just don't see where this is gonna go for them.”

AWS

13:32 Create Write-Once-Read-Many Archive Storage with Amazon Glacier  15:37 Announcing Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink Renamed from Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics  17:10 AWS Compute Optimizer now supports licensing cost optimization for Microsoft SQL Server 

GCP

19:18 Welcome to Google Cloud Next ’23 28:42 Ryan - “And it is still the Anthos we've grown to love, right? So it's still a huge multi-cloud or hybrid cloud opportunity for a ton of people and companies, right? So that they can have sort of a consistent experience to offer across their data centers and any one of the cloud hypervisors. So it's pretty cool there too.” 29:37 Matthew - “I’d be curious to see and I don't know if you ever would, but like Google put out, Hey, this main number, you know, this percentage of customers actually using it for multi-cloud versus multi-cluster versus, you know, how are people actually leveraging the enterprise product?” 32:18 Ryan - “When I worked for Yahoo, they were very heavy, a data center company. And that was my primary role was automating a lot of that inner company sort of play for launching infrastructure. So building our own versions of AWS and Azure services at the time. And so to see them, you know, taking advantage of the public ones is great, right? Because they're at a scale that is gonna make the product. really good for everyone else.” 32:18 Ryan - “I know what I want, but I do not know the SQL syntax to get what I want. And this is, it is a fantastic feature that I've played around with a little bit for a couple hours. And I, like, I will never ever write SQL any other way.” 42:49 Justin - “And I'm actually right now trying to backup an RDS MySQL database. And if I could use this to figure out how to make that better. Cause I foolishly thought I'd save time by using MySQL command center or the management center cause we have it set up for this particular database, and I regret everything about it.” Predictions Ryan Lucas Jonathan Baker Justin Brodley Matt Kohn Tie Breaker:  Justin: 6 Jonathan: 9 Ryan: 1 ⭐Gold Star to Jonathan⭐ 

Azure

57:33 Generally Available: Trusted launch as default for VMs deployed through the Azure portal 1:01:01 Generally available: Azure Container Apps jobs 1:01:49 Justin - “If you're into container app jobs and using these to do kind of your scheduled tasks, this is nice, I actually like this feature.”
