    AI is Going Great!

    00:39 OpenAI’s New Weapon in Talent War With Google: $10 Million Pay Packages for Researchers (listeners note: paywall article)

    • The battle for AI talent is heating up between open AI and Google. With compensation packages but also promises of access to more hardware, better chips and more.
    • Open AI depends on Microsoft for its cloud resources, whereas Google owns its cloud and is manufacturing their own AI chips.
    • Salaries are crazy with stock compensation with Open AI saying their stock compensation could be worth as much as 5-10m.
    • Of course assuming that recruits start before the company goes public or gets completely acquired by MS.
    • So, bottom line? Money. Are you shocked? We’re shocked.

    01:30 Jonathan – “I guess it’s quite a concern actually that since Google bought DeepMind they have pretty much two-thirds of the entire global AI talent at their own disposal. So I guess this is a desperate needs, call for desperate measures kind of thing.”

    01:49 Nvidia Unveils New AI Chip, Upping Ante with AMD (listeners note: paywall article)

    • Nvidia on Monday announced a new graphics processing unit, the H200, which next year could become the most advanced chip on the market for developing AI.
    • The chip’s memory capacity has been significantly upgraded compared to the H100, which has been in high demand and boosting NVIDIA stock 240% since Jan 1. The increased memory allows LLM models powered by H200 chips to generate results nearly twice as fast as those running on H100s
    • Cloud companies should have the new chips available in 2nd quarter 2024 and will put these in tight competition with AMD’s MI300X gpu’s slated for release later this year.

    02:29 Matthew – “ I feel like we’re seeing the speed curve of processors and now we’re just watching the same things that happened in the 90s and 2000s happen with GPUs. It’s like, it will double every 18 months. That’s

    New Segment – AI is Going Great!

    01:24 New study validates the business value and opportunity of AI

    • You may be shocked to find out that there is value in AI for your business!
    • To help you understand, Microsoft paid IDC to make a study that provides unique insights into how AI is being used to drive economic impact for organizations.
    • 2000 business leaders and decision makers from around the world participated in the survey.
      • 71% of respondents say their companies are already using AI, and 22% said within 12 months they would be using it.
      • 92% of AI deployments take 12 months or less
      • Organizations are realizing a return on their AI investment within 14 months
      • For every $1 a company invests in AI, it is realize an average return of $3.5x
      • 52% report that a lack of skilled workers is their biggest barrier to implement and scale AI. We assume that’s prompt engineering or model builders.
    • IDC projects that generative AI will add nearly $10 trillion to global GDP over the next 10 years.
    • Key areas where businesses are finding value:
      • Enrich employee experiences

      • Reshape business processes
      • Bend the curve on innovation.

    02:33 Ryan – “There were some questions that they didn’t ask that I wanted them to, like how many respondents are already using AI but wish they weren’t, or how many months do you think it wil

    Welcome to episode 234 of The Cloud Pod podcast – where the forecast is always cloudy! This week your hosts Justin and Ryan are bringing you all the latest news from the cloud, including latest earnings news (you know you want it), a discussion about whether cloud is “bad” from one of repatriation’s biggest advocates, Oxide’s new cloud computer (it’s SO pretty) and a look at some of latest updates on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud.

    Pre-Show

    01:00 Follow Up: Wait – Is Cloud Bad?

    • We’ve talked previously on the show about DHH – David Heinemeier Hansson – who is the one big example of cloud repatriation.
      • Well, maybe not the biggest but the most vocal for sure when it comes to advocating for a return to on-prem.
    • Forrest Brazel wrote in his recent newsletter about the back and forth between pro-cloud people and those who support DHH’s move from AWS back to his DC. I think his rebuttal is the best one out there.
    • He basically broke down the decision on cloud or datacenter to a 2×2 box… Low IT Competence with Low Growth or High Growth, and High IT Competency with Low Growth or High Growth.
      • He basically says Basecamp falls into High IT Competency with low growth, which makes datacenter more attractive.

    03:43 Justin- “Kelsey Hightower pointed out rightfully the 15 years of cloud helped DHH even be able to do this, because being able to do a cloud exit of the size and the complexity of what he does have without cloud technologies that enabled some of those things, it would have been difficult for him to do this going back. Declarative infrastructure, containerization – all that stuff is big cloud advances that were brought to the world that he’s not benefiting from in his data center…”

    General News this Week:

    06:30 Oxide Launches the World’s First Commercial Cloud Computer

    • If you’re looking at the infrastructure you should run your repatriation on, we would like to suggest you take a look at Oxide Computers.
    • Founded by Steve Tuck, Jessie Frazelle, and Bryan Cantrill, they have officially launched their first product, which has been in development for the last 4 years.
    • While Major cloud providers have built their own cloud computing services, Oxide is the first company to be selling a commercial version of an out-of-the-box cloud computer for individual companies t

    01:20 Rotate Your SSL/TLS Certificates Now – Amazon RDS and Amazon Aurora Expire in 2024

    • If you want to have some “fun” you need to update the RDS SSL certificate for your db instances before they expire in 2024.
    • This impacts really any DB created before 2020.
      • You can choose CA certificates that expire in 40 years or 100 years.
    • This was more complicated than we realized when we did this on a database instance recently, and this step-by-step guide would have been great when we did it a month or so ago.
      • Step 1: Identify your impacted DB’s
      • Step 2: Update your database client and apps… this was the trickiest part for us.
      • Step 3: Test CA rotation on a non-production RDS instance
      • Step 4: Rinse and Repeat on Production.

    01:45 Justin- “I definitely went for the 100 years to fake because I never want to do this again… This is not for the faint of heart, if you’re not familiar with how your database apps work, and do proceed with caution.”

    05:48 Justin- “Well, so the 40 year one is a 2048 bit RSA certificate. The 100 year one is an RSA 4096 or an ECC 384 compiled. So it’s pretty high level encryption on both of those CAs. And the fun thing about that is if you do choose the 100 year certificate and you have like a T3 class system, all of a sudden now you’re processing a lot of stuff to calculate the cipher. So you may have some use cases where you don’t want to use the 100 year certificate because it does require some more CPU to process.”

    General News this Week:

    01:08 Why AMD’s Upcoming Chips Won’t Be the Savior AI Startups Are Hoping For

    • A few weeks ago many got excited about the new AMD chips coming to help with AI workloads.
    • The Instinct MI300A has often been touted as an alternative to Nvidia’s H100.
    • But… it’s not as easy to use those chips.
      • The startup that tweeted about using the new AMD chips has been working on it for multiple years, and most startups who would want to switch would have to throw out their code and start from scratch. We’re not super sure about that claim, but we shall see…
      • Plus, Nvidia has a 20 year head start when it comes to Cuda and other development tools for AI.
    • It’s not all bad news though – AMD does have some advantages that may make it worth it, including a chip that combines the GPU, which performs multiple computations simultaneously, and a CPU which executes more general instructions and manages the systems broader operations.
      • (Nvidia plans to do the same with the Grace Hopper Superchip).
    • The AMD chips also have more memory than the H100 at 128gb vs 80gb.

    02:20 Ryan – “Yeah. I mean, it’s interesting how complex these have become, right? When it used to just be – sort of – you had optimized at the computer level and maybe at the OS level, but now the workloads are so specific because they’re so demanding, and then power is also very challenging. So that’s kind of neat. I’m kind of glad I don’t have to deal with it much.”

    03:38 Report: Amazon will use Microsoft 365 cloud productivity tools in $1B ‘megadeal’

    • Amazon has reportedly committed 1B to license M365 cloud productivity software for 1 million of its corporate and frontline workers in a surprise megadeal.
    • Amazon will upgrade from traditional MS office software to the cloud productivity suite, (Probably because MS stopped supporting it? But we digress) according to the report, which notes that Amazon had been reluctant to do so previously.

    04:40 Jonthan – “I’m surprised they haven’t worked on their own office suite. They could have taken some open-source thing and made it their ow

    01:17 Terraform 1.6 adds a test framework for enhanced code validation

    • At Hashiconf this week, they announced Terraform 1.6 is now available for download.
    • The most exciting feature? We’re so glad you asked!
      • The new terraform test framework that deprecates and replaces the previous experimental features added in 0.15.
    • Terraform test allows authors to consistently validate the functionality of their configuration in a safe environment. Tests are written using familiar HCL syntax, so there is no need to learn a new language to get started.
    • Config-Driven import introduced in Terraform 1.5 gets improvements to support variable driven ID attributes. Making it easier than ever to import existing items.
    • Cli Improvements
    • Several changes are coming to the S3 Backend remote state in this release to better align with the SDK and the official terraform AWS provider.
      • It should still work but you may receive warnings about deprecated attributes. May the odds be ever in your favor.
    • You can check out the Testing Terraform overview page here, or the Write Terraform tests tutorial here.

    03:22 Justin – “ One of the interesting things that, you know, that wasn’t part of this particular announcement is that they’re also adding an ability to use AI to help you with your test cases. And so basically the model, they built an LLM model to specifically trained on HCL and the Terraform test framework to help model authors begin testing their code.”

    01:15 Microsoft fans… This isn’t going to be pretty. You were warned.

    Microsoft Warns of Cyber Attacks Attempting to Breach Cloud via SQL Server Instance

    Microsoft…The Truth Is Even Worse Than You Think

    Microsoft comes under blistering criticism for “grossly irresponsible” security

    • In what has turned out to be a not so great week for Microsoft (and their customers) the software giant has released an urgent warning for SQL server instances running on Azure. **Insert meme of dog saying it’s fine surrounded by fire here**
    • Microsoft has detailed a new campaign in which attackers unsuccessfully attempted to move laterally to a cloud environment through a SQL server instance.
    • The attacker initially exploited a SQL injection vulnerability in an app, and then was able to gain access and elevated permission on MS SQL instance deployed in Azure VM.
    • The threat actor than attempted to move horizontally by abusing the server’s cloud identity, which could possess elevated permissions (least privilege folks)
    • MS says it found no evidence that the attacker successfully moved.
    • Considering the recent criticism by Tenable CEO who threw them under the bus for not fixing a major vulnerability for over 90 days, this warning and confirmation seems like a step in the right direction.

    04:37 Matthew- “I mean, also just the scale of these hypervisors, sometimes it just takes time. Like – you don’t want to quickly roll out a hotfix to something, realize you caused another problem, and now you’re playing whack-a-mole because you’re moving too fast and not taking a step back and fixing the root cause of it.”

      • Red Hat is rebranding the Red Hat OpenStack Platform, which will now be known as Red Hat OpenStack services on OpenShift. You know, because let’s add containers. What could go wrong?
      • We didn’t know anyone was still trying to openstack at this point – did you?
    • “By integrating Kubernetes with OpenStack, organizations see improved resource management and scalability, greater flexibility across the hybrid cloud, simplified development and DevOps practices and more,” said Sean Cohen, director of product management in Red Hat’s Hybrid Platforms organizations.
    • Per Holger, Mueller openstack has gotten a lot of popularity in the Telecommunications industry where they use it to build private clouds to run their networks… *adds to the list of don’t work there… telecommunications companies*

    02:32 Justin – “I mean, OpenShift is just like Convox. It’s a platform on top of Kubernetes and a fancy developer portal. And so then you get, now you add to that OpenStack.”

    00:36 Farewell EC2-Classic, it’s been swell

    • Werner has a blog post talking about the end of Ec2-classic, with the final EC2-Classic instance being turned off on August 15th, 2 years after the announcement.
    • He points out that the reason it was “classic” is because of the network architecture. All instances launched on a giant 10.0.0.0/8 flat network shared between all customers.
    • The process for end users was simple, but it was highly complex for AWS at the time.
