About Us

Cloud Pod Logo

The weekly podcast that cuts through the cloud and AI noise.

Keeping up with cloud computing and AI is a full-time job. AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure release hundreds of updates every week. Kubernetes keeps evolving. Multi-cloud strategies are getting more complex. And now every cloud provider is racing to ship AI and machine learning services faster than you can evaluate them.

Who has time to track it all?

We do.

The Cloud Pod breaks down the biggest announcements in cloud computing and AI, explains what they actually mean for DevOps, SRE, and IT teams, and gives you the context to make smarter decisions. From new GPU instances to foundational model APIs to the latest in generative AI infrastructure, we help you separate the hype from what actually matters. With over 300 episodes and counting, we’ve been your guide to the cloud market since 2017.

Our hosts bring 100+ combined years of hands-on experience building, scaling, and operating cloud infrastructure at Fortune 500 companies, high-growth startups, and everything in between.
