The Cloud Pod | Weekly AI & Cloud News on AWS, Azure & GCP
Welcome to episode 357 of The Cloud Pod, where the weather is always cloudy! Justin and Matt are in the studio this week to bring you all the latest in cloud and AI news! Is AI costing more than the people it replaced? Are CEO’s suffering from AI psychosis? Is Opus 4.8 better than 4.7? We answer all of these questions and more this week – so let’s get started!
A big thanks to this week’s sponsors:
There are many cloud cost management tools out there, but only Archera provides insured commitments. It sounds fancy, but it’s really simple. Archera gives you the cost savings of a 1 or 3-year AWS Savings Plan with a commitment as short as 30 days. If you do not use all the cloud resources you have committed to, Archera will literally cover the difference. Other cost management tools may say they offer “insured commitments”, but remember to ask: Will you actually give me my rebate? Because Archera will.
