AWS Morning Brief for the week of August 9 2021 with Corey Quinn.

This week Corey is at the helm for a small rant on AWS’s data transfer story. He reflects on CloudFlare’s blogpost from earlier this year on how AWS charges, and their egregious mark ups. Corey dives into the findings to bring out some important details about what exactly is still going on when it comes to the indefatigable nature of those charges. Markups as high as %8000 percent, the benefits of running AWS services yourself or from something a partner provides for you from the AWS marketplace, the predatory nature of some of these charges, and more! Thanks for tuning in to Corey’s rant!

AWS Morning Brief for the week of July 26, 2021 with Corey Quinn.

Jesse, Amy and Tim gather around the round table to chat—is AWS a threat to OSS (Open Source Software)? For starters, what exactly is OSS? Our hosts give us the details on what it is, how it works, and what it can provide, and how it differs from an Open Source Company. Will AWS go after OSS? Amy pipes in with her expertise from her background working in the government. As she demonstrates, these companies love going after the government much more than they do these small companies. With all the possible angles OSS makes for a complex space that needs a lot more meat on the podcast bones to fully flesh out. But where to start? On this week's “Friday From the Field!”

They’ve taken it for a test drive and have all that you need to know. At the end of the day it comes down to—is it worth it? This week we find out.
