Cloud cost is no longer just a finance team issue. It is now a business-wide concern, and treating it as a budgeting exercise is holding companies back. In this episode, I'm joined by John Purcell, Chief Product Officer at DoiT, to unpack how organisations can rethink cloud financial management through a risk-first lens. With the FinOps X conference just around the corner, John also gives us a preview of the themes likely to dominate the agenda this year, from Kubernetes complexity to the role of AI in governance. DoiT is not just another optimisation tool. Their Cloud Intelligence platform helps companies align performance, reliability, and security with financial strategy. John explains how cost spikes are not just common, they are almost guaranteed. He shares a real example of a ninety-thousand dollar AWS bill caused by a minor configuration error and what could have prevented it. We talk about the shift from reactive cost reviews to proactive financial defence. Think of it like cybersecurity but applied to your cloud budget. That mindset change is something FinOps teams need to embrace quickly. It is not just about watching what is spent, but understanding intent and outcomes across the business. John also introduces the concept of the FinOps fabric, a combination of technology, processes, and culture that helps teams align on goals and mitigate risks. And while AI and automation are transforming how teams interact with cloud platforms, they are still responsible for driving most cloud spend today. We dig into what needs to change before AI can truly become an optimisation asset rather than another cost driver. Whether you're gearing up for FinOps X or trying to get a better grip on cloud cost management, this episode offers practical insight into the tools, strategies, and cultural shifts that can help your team stay ahead.

Welcome to episode 305 of The Cloud Pod – where the forecast is always cloudy! How did you do on your Microsoft Build Predictions? As badly as us? Plus we’ve got news on AWS service changes, a lifecycle catch up page for all those services that bought the farm, tons of Gemini news (seriously, like a lot) and even some AI for .NET. Welcome to the cloud pod- and thanks for joining us!

It goes beyond AI coding assistants to operate independently. It clones code into a secure Google Cloud VM, allowing it to understand the full context of a project. This enables it to write tests, build features, fix bugs, and more. Jules operates asynchronously in the background, presenting its plan and reasoning when complete. This allows developers to focus on other tasks while it works. Integration with GitHub enables Jules to work directly in existing workflows without extra setup or context switching. Developers can steer and give feedback throughout the process. For cloud developers, Jules demonstrates the rapid advancement of AI for coding moving from prototype to product. Its cloud-based parallel execution enables efficient handling of complex, multi-file changes. While in public beta, Jules is free with some usage limits. This allows developers to experiment with this cutting-edge AI coding agent and understand its potential to accelerate development on Google Cloud. 02:56 Ryan – “More and more, as new tools get released, it's just going to change the way anything gets written… it's getting more and more capable.” 05:45 Introducing Flow: Google's AI filmmaking tool designed for Veo

Welcome to episode 304 of The Cloud Pod – where the forecast is always cloudy! Justin, Ryan and Matt are in the house tonight to bring you all the latest and greatest in Cloud and AI news, including AWS new Chilean region, the ongoing tug of war between Open AI and Microsoft, and even some K8 updates – plus an aftershow. Let's get started! Titles we almost went with this week: Open AI gets a COO delivered Things get Chile with new regions Observability and AI, I Q-uestion the logic Cloud Pod tries to Microsoft Build predictions K8 resizes pods on the fly Microsoft strongly reinforces the AI Foundry The Cloud Pod renegotiates the hosts’ contracts … we now have to pay the Cloud Pod to be on it Follow Up 01:53 DOJ’s extreme proposals will hurt consumers and America’s tech leadership We previously talked about the DOJ and Google Antitrust lawsuit – and now the DOJ has wrapped up their remedies hearing, and Google has *not* been quiet about it. One of the claims is that the remedies would hurt browser choice, putting browsers like Firefox out of business completely. Google also claimed that data disclosure mandates would threaten user's privacy – it would be MUCH safer if they could just sell it to you via their marketplace. We do agree that divesting Chrome would make things more complicated for people living in the Google Cloud. Really, what comes down to is that Google claims DOJ's solutions are the wrong solutions – although to us, Google's solutions aren't much better.

What does it take to turn a moment of frustration into a global mission to tackle waste? At the AWS Summit in London, I sat down with Tessa Clarke, co-founder and CEO of Olio, to explore how a single idea born on a snowy Swiss street evolved into a powerful tech platform reshaping how communities think about consumption, sharing, and sustainability. Tessa shared her personal journey, from growing up on a farm where food waste was unthinkable to climbing the corporate ladder before walking away to co-found Olio. That decision came after she was told to throw away perfectly good food while moving house, a moment that sparked an idea and a deeper calling. What followed was years of research, a grassroots WhatsApp experiment, and ultimately, the creation of an app that now connects millions of users worldwide. In our conversation, we explored how Olio uses technology to drive real-world change. Tessa explained how AWS has been a foundational partner since day one, helping Olio scale sustainably without compromising its values. She also gave an inside look at how AI is integrated thoughtfully across their operations, from assisting users in listing items faster to detecting potentially unsafe or inappropriate listings before they go live. What stood out is how intentional Tessa and her team have been in making AI serve the mission, not distract from it. Whether it's reducing friction within communities or using automation to offset operational challenges, every tech choice is aligned with their goal: to build a waste-free world. We also discussed how AI is helping them break the traditional link between headcount and impact, paving the way toward profitability while staying people-focused. As Olio aims to reach a billion users by 2030, this episode is a reminder of what happens when purpose and technology meet. Tessa's story offers a compelling blueprint for founders, technologists, and anyone looking to use digital tools to solve human problems. How can a simple act of sharing create ripple effects across the world, and what role will technology play in scaling that vision responsibly?

Jim Worden says he and his firm "really, really like" Nvidia (NVDA) and notes Broadcom (AVGO) as a rising competitor in the A.I. hardware space. When it comes to other mega caps, he's not as confident. He sees Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN) struggling with tariffs and sees road bumps ahead for Tesla (TSLA). Lisa Schreiber doesn't expect Amazon to face as much tariff impact as Apple. One headwind she sees in the company is its AWS cloud revenue.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

What happens when access to advanced AI models is no longer the real differentiator, and the true advantage lies in how businesses leverage their own data? At the AWS Summit in London, I sat down with Rahul Pathak, Vice President of Data and AI Go-to-Market at AWS, to unpack this question and explore how organisations are moving beyond experimentation and into large-scale generative AI adoption. Recorded live on the show floor, this conversation explores how AWS is supporting customers at every layer of their AI journey. From custom silicon innovations like Trainium and Inferentia to scalable services like Bedrock, Q Developer, and SageMaker, AWS is giving businesses the infrastructure, tools, and flexibility to innovate with confidence. Rahul shared how leading organisations such as BT Group, SAP, and Lonely Planet are already applying these tools to reduce costs, speed up development cycles, and deliver tailored experiences that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. A key theme that emerged in our discussion is that data, not just models, is the true foundation of effective AI. Rahul explained why unifying data across silos is critical and how AWS is helping companies create more intelligent applications by connecting what they uniquely know about their business to powerful AI capabilities. We also addressed the operational realities of AI deployment. From moving proof-of-concept projects into production to meeting the growing demand for responsible AI, the challenges are shifting. Organisations are now focused on trust, security, transparency, and measurable value. If you're leading digital transformation and wondering how to scale AI solutions that deliver on business outcomes, this episode provides practical insight from someone at the center of the industry. How will your business stand out in a world where every company has access to AI models, but only a few know how to apply them with purpose?

Episode SummaryJeremy Snyder is the co-founder and CEO of FireTail, a company that enables organizations to adopt AI safely without sacrificing speed or innovation. In this conversation, Jeremy shares his deep expertise in API and AI security, highlighting the second wave of cloud adoption and his pivotal experiences at AWS during key moments in its growth from startup onwards.Show NotesIn this episode of The Secure Developer, host Danny Allan sits down with Jeremy Snyder, the Co-founder and CEO of FireTail, to unravel the complexities of API security and explore its critical intersection with the burgeoning field of Artificial Intelligence. Jeremy brings a wealth of experience, tracing his journey from early days in computational linguistics and IT infrastructure, through a pivotal period at AWS during its startup phase, to eventually co-founding FireTail to address the escalating challenges in API security driven by modern, decoupled software architectures.The conversation dives deep into the common pitfalls and crucial best practices for securing APIs. Jeremy clearly distinguishes between authentication (verifying identity) and authorization (defining permissions), emphasizing that failures in authorization are a leading cause of API-related data breaches. He sheds light on vulnerabilities like Broken Object-Level Authorization (BOLA), explaining how seemingly innocuous practices like using sequential integer IDs can expose entire datasets if server-side checks are missed. The discussion also touches on the discoverability of backend APIs and the persistent challenges surrounding multi-factor authentication, including the human element in security weaknesses like SIM swapping.Looking at current trends, Jeremy shares insights from FireTail's ongoing research, including their annual "State of API Security" report, which has uncovered novel attack vectors such as attempts to deploy malware via API calls. A significant portion of the discussion focuses on the new frontier of AI security, where APIs serve as the primary conduit for interaction—and potential exploitation. Jeremy details how AI systems and LLM integrations introduce new risks, citing a real-world example of how a vulnerability in an AI's web crawler API could be leveraged for DDoS attacks. He speculates on the future evolution of APIs, suggesting that technologies like GraphQL might become more prevalent to accommodate the non-deterministic and data-hungry nature of AI agents. Despite the evolving threats, Jeremy concludes with an optimistic view, noting that the gap between business adoption of new technologies and security teams' responses is encouragingly shrinking, leading to more proactive and integrated security practices.LinksFireTailRapid7Snyk - The Developer Security Company Follow UsOur WebsiteOur LinkedIn
