216: The Cloud Pod is Feeling Elevated Enough to Record the Podcast Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to the newest episode of The Cloud Pod podcast – where the forecast is always cloudy! Today your hosts are Jonathan and Matt as we discuss all things cloud and AI, including Temporary Elevated Access Management (or TEAM, since we REALLY like acronyms today) FTP servers, SQL servers and all the other servers, as well as pipelines, whether or not the government should regulate AI (spoiler alert: the AI companies don’t think so) and some updates to security at Amazon and Google.

Titles we almost went with this week:

The Cloud Pod’s FTP server now with post-quantum keys support
The CloudPod can now Team into your account, but only temporarily
The CloudPod dusts off their old floppy drive
The CloudPod dusts off their old SQL server disks
The CloudPod is feeling temporarily elevated to do a podcast
The CloudPod promise that AI will not take over the world
The CloudPod duals with keys

News this Week:

No general news this week! Probably because no one wanted to talk to us.

AWS

00:49 Amazon EC2 Instance Connect supports SSH and RDP connectivity without public IP address

You can now connect via SSH and RDP to EC2 instances without using public IP addresses. With EIC endpoints, customers have remote connectivity to their instances in private subnets, eliminating the need to use public IPv4 addresses for connectivity.
Previously you would have needed to create bastion hosts to tunnel SSH/RDP connections to instances with private IP addresses, but that created its own set of problems because bastion hosts would have to be patched, managed and audited as well as incur additional costs.
EIC endpoint combines AWS IAM-based access controls to restrict access to trusted principles with network-based controls such as security group rules.
It provides an audit of all connections via AWS cloud trail, helping customers improve their security posture.

01:31 Matt- “It’s nice to see Amazon still coming up with more solutions to not have things be public; and really try to get their customers to not use all the older-school technology.”

03:02 RDS Custom for SQL Server Lets you Bring Your Own Media

RDS Custom for SQL Server now allows customers to use their own SQL server installation media when creating an instance. By using BYOM, customers may leverage their existing SQL server licenses with Amazon RDS for SQL Server. Amazon RDS custom is a managed database service that allows customization of the underlying operating system and database environment. Managed features include Multi-AZ, point in time recovery, and more.
Previously when using RDS custom for SQL Server, customers used a license that

News this Week:

00:57 Terraform AWS provider updates to V 5.0

Announced this week from Hashicorp, Terraform AWS provider updates to version 5.0
The updates include support that they say will help them “focus on improving the user experience.”
Support & improvements for general tags was added, which can now be set at the provider level – applying them across all resources.
Thanks to new features in Terraform plugin SDK and the Terraform plugin framework issues related to inconsistent final plans, identical tags, and perpetual diffs are now solved.
More information on the default tags can be found on the changelog.

04:11 Jonathan – “It’s kind of cool – it’s a neat hack as well as a way of AWS providing a really useful feature without having to do any work on the cloud platform itself. Just implement the tool that does the deploying rather than having a service which could do it for you.”

AWS

05:28 **NEW** AWS DMS Serverless

Recognizing that many organizations were migrating to cloud platforms due to huge amounts of data, AWS has launched their cloud Database Migration Service back in 2016.
To make the migration even more seamless, AWS has now announced DMS Serverless.
AWS DMS Serverless will automatically set up, scale, and manage migration resources – all to make your migrations easier and (hopefully) more cost effective.
Supports a variety of databases and analytics services, including Amazon Aurora, RDS, S3, Redshift, and DynamoDB among others.

06:36 Matt- “I was thinking about it at the end of the migration – we finally got it all replicated; now we’re gonna wait a month before we actually cut over. We need this very small change rate, vs. lets go replicate everything at the very beginning. It just kind of keeps it in sync. So in theory, it goes up and down, and you’re not provisioning based on peak capacity.”

News this Week:

01:29 Alibaba to Exit Cloud Business After Beijing Undercuts Potential

Alibaba is apparently planning to spin out its $12 Billion dollar cloud business.
It’s unclear if Alibaba is bowing to market pressures or political pressures; in 2020 Beijing became increasingly suspicious of cloud services operated by private firms, and started cracking down on internet services.
Alibaba Cloud drew regulatory ire in 2021 for discovering and sharing a flaw before informing authorities (there goes their citizenship score), and was investigated for its role in China’s largest cybersecurity leak.
Analysts value it at 30B, and was a once thriving operation that harbored the potential to AWS level of market control in China.
“This full spinoff plan involving AliCloud is both bold and puzzling, “Nomura Holdings Inc analysts Jialong Shi and Thomas Shen wrote in a note. “Their current valuation for the unit stands at about $31 billion. AliCloud is BABA’s organic business and is still deemed as one of the long-term drivers for the group even though its growth temporarily slowed down in recent quarters due to macro headwinds. That is why we find it puzzling that BABA has decided to fully spin off this business instead of retaining a minority stake at least.

04:30 Justin – “We’re basically entering a very Cold War period between the US and Chinese. And so that’s gonna be interesting to see how that continues to shake out. I saw some articles this week as well, like in the information about VC firms trying to exit their investments in China and just realizing that it’s not gonna be the growth engine they expect it to be. I mean, we talked about here on the show even some of the supply chain issues with China, with the cloud providers and how it’s impacted them. And now, I just saw this week, Apple just announced that they were making chips with Broadcom on US soil for some things. So, there’s definitely an undercurrent in our politics about China in general.”

05:46 Matt – “On the flip side, I’m kind of curious to see how taking this business unit out of the general Alibaba is going to work, especially with everyone starting to yell that the big tech

News this Week:

01:10 – Terraform is in the news!

Terraform Cloud updates plans with an enhanced Free tier and more flexibility
A bunch of new updates are coming to Terraform Cloud
These update will provide access to **premium** features, up to 500 resources in the free tier
There are also new paid offerings for management capabilities, scaling currency, and enterprise support.
Consistent billing metrics based on managed resources, scaling concurrency, and enterprise support area available across all tiers. But let’s be honest – who needs consistent billing metrics? Half the fun is in the guessing!
New Features Include:
- Premium security features such as SSO and Policy as Code on all tiers (yes, even the free ones for the poors like us.)
- Make it “easy and frictionless” for smaller teams and organizations to get started with their first use cases.
- And -finally- updated paid tiers provide easy upgrade paths for organizations as their usage scales, and they have more advanced use cases.
Consumer Advice Time! The updated pricing models include a “per resource” charge. That has the potential to get REAL messy over 500 devices.
Of course, it’s an option to stay on the legacy models, but the “carrots” – like SSO and Sentinel/OPA support – are pretty good, so you really just need to do a cost benefit analysis for your particular situation.

02:35 Ryan – “Yeah, I mean, the licensing for Terraform products for cloud and both enterprises always been rough, right? Like starting off per users for cloud makes sense. And at some point for enterprise, they had switched to per project, not users, because they figured out very quickly that what everyone did was just sort of link it together behind automation pane.”

04:48 ”Justin – the devil’s in the details of what they consider a resource, right? And it’s every single thing. I mean, 10 cents per EC2 instance, hmm. Like, yeah, I get 10 cents worth of value out of Terraform, not having to manually do that stuff. So, like, yeah, but then like you get into S3 buckets and like, I’m definitely not gonna get 10 cents of value out of an S3 bucket every month.”

02:18 – FinOps Foundation debuts new specification to ease cloud cost management

Have we mentioned the FinOps User Conference? I can’t remember if we’ve mentioned that at all… In any event, join the fun June 27th through the 30th in beautiful and sunny San Diego, and be immersed in all things FinOps. It’s a dream vacation opportunity!
In the meantime, the Finops foundation has announced FOCUS, an open-source initiative designed to help companies more easily track their cloud costs, which will initially launch at the conference.
The goal of the initiative is to develop a standard specification for organizing cloud spending and usage data.
According to FinOps, FOCUS will also provide a number of related data management capabilities, MS and Google will join the steering committee tasked with managing the project.
“FOCUS will solve problems that organizations maturing their cloud adoption now face,” said Udam Dewaraja, the chair of the FinOps Foundation’s FOCUS working group. “Today, there’s no clear way to unify cost and usage data sets across different vendors.”
FOCUS introduces standardized terminology for describing cloud expenses and usage metrics, provides a standardized schema, or a data format in which financial information can be organized. A schema specifies technical details such as the maximum number of expenses that should be included in each database row.

This is the annual FinOps Foundation Annual User Conference, and it is taking place June 29th through the 31st in Beautiful San Diego, California.
Hundreds of your fellow practitioners will be sharing their FinOps knowledge, collaborating in chalk talks and networking together.
Why should you attend? Great question. Let me tell you. 1) There’s a party on an aircraft carrier. Need more? You got it. 2) You can learn best practices when it comes to FinOps and save your company lots of money – you’ll be a hero! (Look at the economy and current interest rates. Heroic is an understatement.) Need another reason? Look no further! Justin will be there! We know you’ve always wanted to chat with him in person. No? How about free stickers? Free stuff is good.

02:47 New Relic is back on the pod – and they’ve got something new

New Relic just launched Grok, their new AI observability assistant

- If you remember a few weeks ago, we had someone from New Relic on the pod, and they told us **something** was coming, but weren’t quite ready to tell us what it was – and now, it’s here!
- New Relic is throwing their hat into the AI ring – Grok.
- Grok will allow engineers to use large language models to help utilize natural language when performing many of the routine tasks in New Relic, like setting up instrumentation, building reports, or managing accounts.
- Engineers can sift through the data more easily and come through their unified telemetry data without having to write complex queries.
- From New Relic: “Observability tools exist to serve the DevOps and DevSecOps movements. Engineers use observability tools to get the data they need to operate and secure the software they build,” said New Relic Chief Product Officer Manav Khurana. “The reality, howeve r, is that it’s hard for every engineer to translate a question they have into a data model, sift through their tools to find the right data, and then translate data back to an insight in natural language. That’s why DevSecOps practices are lagging behind all the innovation in Observability tooling. Now with Generative AI, there will be an explosion of new software developed in a completely different way, creating even more complexity to operate and secure softwa

The conference is June 29th – 31st, and registration can be found on the Finops Foundation website. See you there!

02:51 It’s earning season. Listener discretion is advised.

Let’s start with Microsoft

- At their earnings report on Tuesday, Microsoft is reporting $52.9 billion revenue, up 7% from the previous year. Expectations were set at $51 billion. Much of this is driven by AI (because what isn’t driven by AI these days.)
- Overall profits were up 9% from last year, coming in at $18.3 billion.
- Microsoft Azure helped with these numbers by recording a 22% increase, vs. a 34% increase seen last year.

03:51 Ryan- I’m surprised with some of the numbers, just because I wasn’t expecting – after so many years of growth – that it would continue to rise despite the economic dip.”

Moving on to Google Earnings…

- Google earnings were recorded at $69.79 billion, which was higher than analysts expected, thanks partly due to Google cloud revenue and an increase in Youtube advertising (all of it aimed at my kid, apparently.)
- Google cloud (GCI) revenue came in at $7.45 billion, which was slightly lower than expectations, but the good news is that Google finally recorded a profit in their cloud computing sector! This means everyone using GCI won’t be left in the dust, since we all know Google loves to kill off anything that isn’t profitable.

@01:36 – Codewhisperer is now generally available – and includes a free tier!

-Besides just the availability, this new real-time AI coding companion also includes a FREE individual tier open to all developers. This is a (good!) surprise to us.
-The free tier works with many popular IDEs, including VS Code and Intellij IDEA among others.
-Codewhisperer can assist in productivity by creating code for repetitive or routine tasks
– Cost wise, Codewhisperer is pretty much in line with other products like GitHub Copilot.
– Python, Java, Javascript, Typescript, C#, Go, Rust, PHP, Ruby, Kotlin, C, C++, Shell Scripting, SQL and Scala
-The downside: security is fairly limited (Python and Java, for instance)
02:50 Jonathan: “I’m super happy that they’ve launched with so many languages supported, and so much support for different IDE’s. It’s a great launch. It’s definitely a time saver, and I’d pay the $20 a month for the service even if there wasn’t a free tier.”
(But maybe we don’t say that too loudly, or the free tier will disappear…)
And speaking of that free tier –
04:49 Jonathan: “I expect the reason there’s a free tier is so that they get much more data from user experiences, and can retrain the model based on people’s feedback.”
05:24 Ryan: “It’s edging us closer to code writing code.”
-One of the things that is important to point out from our discussion today is that you can get a bit more for your money from Copilot, which also has a free tier for individuals.

@00:57 – Interesting article – What is Open AI doing that Google Isn’t

(Besides making a usable product, obviously.)
-Google AI lab is separate, meaning researchers are separate from the engineers, versus Open AI where they are one combined team, which – go figure – works out better. -The article goes on to question whether Google is “losing their edge” which, as the number 3 player in the AI industry, is pretty evident. The guys discuss the two services, as well as how Bard can be crammed into every product Google makes.
02:49 Ryan: “I find it kind of fascinating that Open AI, because they were first to market, gets to dictate what AI is.”

@07:01 Are you an AI developer? Are you looking to build out your own models? -Good luck. Finding the hardware to do that continues to be an issue.

The Information put out an article about a shortage of servers at all the major cloud companies, including AWS, Azure, GPC, and OCI. The biggest issue is a shortage of GPUs and GPU processors, which was one of the first and main resources to have supply chain issues.
Desktop computer GPUs are having less issues with supply. Some of that is thanks to the bottom falling out of the Bitcoin market (no need for mining anymore.)
07:57 Ryan – “It’s a run on a limited resource, and GPU’s – they were the first to hit supply chain issue… it’s always been sort of a scarce resource. When I first heard of GPU’s being used for machine learning and those types of workloads, there weren’t enough of them, and it wasn’t really embedded in the type of hardware you need to run in a data center.
09:07Justin – “A lot of GPU returns and GPU availability in the desktop market, which those GPU’s are better suited for doing high computational work of 3D and things that are required for getting to bitcoin… so you could use desktop GPUs but your experience won’t go as far.”
Unfortunately the smart British guy isn’t here to tell us all the ins and outs of the differences between types of GPUs, so do tune in for that next week!

@10:37 FinOps slack channels had some chatter in regards to the Amazon spot market pricing increases.

For the past couple weeks prices have continued to grow in US East 1, US AP Southeast 1A, and European servers (which are always more expensive anyway) among others. Justin discusses his ideas for why this is the case. Surprisingly (or not surprisingly at all) most of his theoretical reasons for these prices increases are pretty cynical – but they include capacity constraints in the supply chain, Amazon limiting additional buying because they’re going into earnings, and (most

AWS Puts Up a New VPC Lattice to Ease the Growth of Your Connectivity

AKA Welcome to April (how is it April already?) This week, Justin, Jonathan, and Matt are your guides through all the latest and greatest in Cloud news; including VPC Lattice from AWS, the one and only time we’ll talk about Service Catalog, and an ultra premium DDoS experience. All this week on The Cloud Pod.

News this Week:

AWS

@00:56 – Lots from AWS – Terraform and Service Catalog, Supply Chain and its crazy pricing, and VPC Lattice

–Self-service provisioning of Terraform open source configured with AWS Service Catalog. This means you can define your service catalog resources with either cloud formation *or* Terraform. And yes, Service Catalog inception is potentially a viable thing.

Matt: “It’s useful when you want to give people who don’t know what they’re doing very specific things; if you’re in a large organization, really just defining exactly what people can do…but to me it really starts to remove a lot of the innovation… but if you really want your teams to leverage the cloud and innovate I feel like it does start to limit some of the different aspects of the cloud.”

Justin: “Don’t drink the ITSM kool-aid on Service Catalog.”

@ 04:32 – AWS Supply Chain is now generally available; and yes, this is the same Supply Chain that was introduced at re:Invent. AWS says it will help mitigate risks, lower costs, increase visibility and help give actual insights on the supply chain.

-Honestly, we’re talking about Supply Chain because the pricing is all over the place. For example, the first 100,000 Supply Chain insights are .40/each; the next 900,000 are .13/each, and over 900,000 its .065/each.

@ 09:26 – VPC Lattice is finally here! Also announced at re:Invent, this gives you the ability to connect, secure, & monitor communications between services. It also gives the ability to refine policies for both traffic management and network access.

-Since the announcement, a few new capabilities have been added, including the ability to use custom domains, deploy open source AWS gateway API controllers to use Lattice with a Kubernetes-native experience, as well as giving the ability to configure SSL/TLS certificates when using HTTPS that matches the custom domain.

You can also:

use the Kubernetes gateway API to connect services across multiple clusters
use an ALB or an NLB as a target for service
support IPv6 connectivity with IP address target type
-be confused by pricing

Justin: “Their examples of Lattice pricing hurts my brain just a little bit.”
