    2025/08/14
    Welcome to episode 316 of The Cloud Pod, where the forecast is always cloudy! This week we’ve got earnings (with sound effects, obviously) as well as news from DeepSeek, DocumentDB, DigitalOcean, and a bunch of GPU news. Justin and Matt are here to lead you through all of it, so let’s get started!

(INSERT AWESOME SOUND EFFECTS HERE) 02:16 Alphabet beats earnings expectations, raises spending forecast Google Cloud revenue hit $13.62 billion, up 32% year-over-year, with OpenAI now using Google’s infrastructure for ChatGPT, signaling growing enterprise confidence in Google’s AI infrastructure capabilities.Alphabet is raising its 2025 capital expenditure forecast from $75 billion to $85 billion, driven by cloud and AI demand, with plans to increase spending further in 2026 as it competes for AI workloads.AI Overviews now serves 2 billion monthly users across 200+ countries, while the Gemini app reached 450 million monthly active users, demonstrating Google’s scale in deploying AI services globally.The $10 billion increase in planned capital spending reflects the infrastructure arms race among cloud providers to capture AI workloads, which require significant compute and specialized hardware investments.Google’s cloud growth rate of 32% outpaces its overall revenue growth of 14%, indicating the strategic importance of cloud services as traditional search and advertising face increased AI competition. 03:55 Justin – “I don’t know what it takes to actually run one of these large models at like ultimate scale that like a ChatGPT needs or Anthropic, but I have to imagine it’s just thousands and thousands of GPUs just working nonstop.” 04:31 Microsoft (MSFT) Q4 earnings report 2025 Microsoft reported Q4 fiscal 2025 earnings with revenue of $76.44 billion, up 18% year-ove...

  • 314: Vector? I Hardly Know Her! S3's New AI Storage Play
    2025/07/30
    Welcome to episode 314 of The Cloud Pod, where your hosts, Matt and Ryan, are holding down the fort in Justin’s absence and bringing what’s left of our audience (those of you still here after the last time they were left in charge) the latest and greatest in cloud and tech news. We’ve got undersea cables, vector storage, and even some hobos – but not the kind on trains. Plus AWS S3 Let’s get started! Titles we almost went with this week: S3 Gets Direction: AWS Points to Vector StorageVector? I Hardly Know Her!

It’s been six months since the announcement, where they said they would spend $100B almost immediately, but now they have a more modest goal of building a small data center by the end of the year in Ohio.Softbank committed to $30 billion earlier this year, and it is one of the largest ever startup investments by them, which led them to take on new debt and sell assets. This investment was made alongside Stargate, giving them a role in the physical infrastructure needed for AI. Altman, though, has been eager to secure computing power as quickly as possible and has proceeded without Softbank. Publicly, they say it’s a great partnership, and they look forward to advancing projects in multiple statesOracle was part of Stargate, but the recent 30B deal just signed with includes a commitment of 4.5 gigawatts of capacity, and would consume the equivalent power of more than two Hoover Dams, or about 4 million homes. Oracle was also named part of the deal with UAE firm MGX as a partner, but Oracle CEO Safra Catz said that Stargate hadn’t been formed yet, as of last month. 02:31 Matthew – “…everyone’s like, how hard can it be to build a data center? But it’s city zoning, power consumption, grid improvements, water for cooling… getting communities to approve – and these things end up being a massive undertaking. And it takes the hyperscalers a long time to get these things up and operational. So it doesn’t surprise me that a small data center by the end of the year is probably something that was already in the works beforehand; they’re just taking over other plans. Most da...

  • 313: The Gartner Guide to Breaking Things on Purpose
    2025/07/24
    Welcome to episode 313 of The Cloud Pod, where your hosts, Matt, Ryan, and Justin, are here to bring you all the latest in Cloud and AI news. This week we’ve got an installation of Cloud Journey featuring Gartner and chaos AND an aftershow! We’ve got acquisition news, new tools, an undersea cable, and even a little chaos, all right now in the cloud. Let’s get into it!

    2025/07/17
    Welcome to episode 312 of The Cloud Pod, where your hosts, Matt, Ryan, and Justin, are here to bring you all the latest in Cloud and AI news. We’ve got security news, updates from PostgreSQL, Azure firewall and BlobNFS, plus TWO Cloud Journey stories for you! Thanks for joining us this week in the cloud!

AI – and how to secure it – is a hot topic right now, and being able to spend time working with the Google development team was really insightful, with how they work with various levels of protections in place in dummy applications. Ryan was especially interested in the back-end logic that was executed in the applications. 05:32 Ryan – “I was impressed because there’s how we’re thinking about AI is still evolving, and how we’re protecting it’s gonna be changing rapidly, and having real-world examples really helped really flesh out how their AI services are, how they’re integrated into a security ecosystem. It was pretty impressive. And it’s something that’s near and dear. I’ve been working and trying to roll out Google agent spaces and different AI workloads and trying to get involved and make sure that we, just getting visibility into all the different ones. And that was, it was really helpful to sort of think about it in those contexts.” 10:13 OpenAI secures $30bn cloud deal with Oracle OpenAI signed a $30 billion annual cloud computing agreement with Oracle for 4.5GW of capacity, making it one of the largest AI cloud deals to date, and nearly triple Oracle’s current $10.3 billion annual data center infrastructure revenue.The deal represents a major expansion of the Stargate data center initiative, a $500 billion joint venture between OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle, and Abu Dhabi’s MGX fund aimed at building AI infrastructure across multiple US states, in...

  • 309: Microsoft tries to give away cloud services for free, sadly, it's only SQL
    2025/06/26
    Welcome to episode 308 of The Cloud Pod – where the forecast is always cloudy! Justin and Matt are on hand and ready to bring you an action packed episode. Unfortunately, this one is also lullaby free. Apologies. This week we’re talking about Databricks and Lakebridge, Cedar Analysis, Amazon Q, Google’s little hiccup, and updates to SQL – plus so much more! Thanks for joining us.

AWS burns power to figure out how power works AI Is Going Great – Or How ML Makes Money 02:12 Zuckerberg makes Meta’s biggest bet on AI, $14 billion Scale AI deal Meta is finalizing a $14 billion investment for a 49% stake in Scale AI, with CEO Alexandr Wang joining to lead a new AI research lab at Meta. This follows similar moves by Google and Microsoft acquiring AI talent through investments rather than direct acquisitions to avoid regulatory scrutiny.Scale AI specializes in data labeling and annotation services critical for training AI models, serving major clients including OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Meta. The company’s expertise covers approximately 70% of all AI models being built, providing Meta with valuable intelligence on competitor approaches to model development.The deal reflects Meta’s struggles with its Llama AI models, particularly the underwhelming reception of Llama 4 and delays in releasing the more powerful “Behemoth” model due to concerns about competitiveness with OpenAI and DeepSeek. Meta recently reorganized its GenAI unit into two divisions following these setbacks.Wang brings both technical AI expertise and business acumen, having built Scale AI from a 2016 startup to a $14 billion valuation. His experience includes defense contracts and the recent Defense Llama collaboration with Meta for national security applications.For cloud providers and dev...
