Welcome back to the Cloudscape Podcast! Today on the show we are once again joined by a panel of industry experts: Greg Baker who will be discussing Amazon's AWS, Kartick Sekar discussing the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Warner Chaves discussing Microsoft Azure. In this episode, we discuss new developments from the big three cloud services. We open this discussion with the news of Microsoft’s acquisition of GitHub.
