In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Joseph Landes, co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer at Nerdio, to explore how one conversation at a Microsoft conference led to a billion-dollar cloud automation company. From his 23-year career at Microsoft to building a fully remote team now supporting over five million users, Joseph's story blends strategic risk-taking with deep industry insight. We unpacked how Nerdio grew from a startup idea in 2018 to a company that just secured 500 million dollars in Series C funding. Joseph walked me through the early days of building the business alongside co-founder Vadim Vladimirsky and how they focused on simplifying Microsoft Azure for IT professionals and MSPs. Their goal was clear: make cloud management easier, faster, and more cost-effective through automation and policy-driven governance. But this episode wasn't just about cloud optimization. We also dug into Nerdio's fully remote culture and the intentional design behind it. Joseph shared how initiatives like appointing city mayors, launching the Nerdio Break Room, and hosting an annual global kickoff have helped maintain a strong sense of community and accountability across 350 remote employees. We also discussed why Nerdio does not compete with Microsoft. It enhances and extends Microsoft's products, helping customers navigate Azure complexity while staying aligned with Microsoft's fast-changing roadmap. This customer-centric strategy, coupled with deep product knowledge and agility, has been key to Nerdio's ability to scale without losing focus. Looking ahead, Joseph shared his perspective on why AI and continuous cost optimization will shape the future of enterprise IT. He made a strong case for simplifying IT operations, empowering professionals, and turning savings into reinvestment opportunities. In an era of complexity and noise, Nerdio's growth story is a reminder of what can happen when you combine deep platform expertise with a culture that truly listens. How is your organization turning cloud complexity into an advantage rather than a barrier?

Bret is joined by Andrew Tunall, the President and Chief Product Officer at Embrace, to discuss his prediction that we'll all start shipping non-QA'd code (buggier code in production) and QA will need to be replaced with better observability.

Microsoft is expected to report nearly $74 billion in fourth quarter revenue for fiscal year 2025, driven by increased corporate demand for artificial intelligence and growth in cloud services such as Azure OpenAI Services and GitHub Copilot. The company's capital expenditures reached over $21 billion in the third quarter, contributing to an estimated $80 billion in annual infrastructure spending and resulting in a decline in cloud gross margins from 72% to 69%. Microsoft implemented layoffs affecting over 15,000 employees to manage rising costs, citing shifting priorities and resource reallocation, while overall headcount remains stable due to ongoing hiring. Microsoft Cloud, including Azure, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and LinkedIn commercial services, reported $42.4 billion in revenue last quarter, up 20% year-over-year. Analysts identify operational expense control and continued investment in AI and cloud infrastructure as key factors for sustained growth.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Samuel Diarbakerly tells his clients to be "firefighters" in the current market by "running into the burning building when everyone else is running out." He is overweight on equities even on expectations of tariff volatility coming back into play. On stock picks, he believes JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is a name "everyone should own." He also sees Microsoft (MSFT) being "well-positioned" with its extensive tech stack that includes robust Azure cloud growth.

“You can now connect everything—cloud workloads, offices, data centers, users—on one software-defined network, without the hardware.” — Elizabeth Aris, CEO, Astrotel In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Publisher Doug Green interviews David Klebanov, a leading architect at Alkira, and Elizabeth Aris, CEO of Astrotel, to explore how their partnership is delivering Network Infrastructure as a Service (NIaaS) to global enterprises—without the capital investment or complexity of traditional networking. Born in the Cloud, Built for the AI Era Alkira, founded in 2018, was born with a vision to deliver networking the same way cloud services are consumed: on demand, scalable, and usage-based. The Alkira platform runs entirely in the cloud—across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud—allowing enterprises to deploy secure, high-performance global networks in hours, not months. “Our platform is the networking and security foundation for today's distributed, cloud-first enterprise,” said Klebanov. “And it's built to support AI workloads and multi-cloud architectures from day one.” Channel-Driven and Globally Deployed Astrotel, based in Sydney, is a service provider and Alkira partner helping customers across the Asia-Pacific region deploy network services in minutes using Alkira's cloud-native platform. Aris emphasized the advantage: no hardware, no CapEx, and up to 60% cost savings. “We're setting up entire global networks using Alkira's software-based cloud exchange points. It's a massive differentiator,” said Aris. “From remote Australia to Hong Kong to London, you just connect your sites to the nearest cloud region—there's no need to negotiate with local telcos or install new gear.” Enterprise-Grade Security and Simplicity The Alkira platform integrates firewall, DNS, DHCP, and other critical services directly into its virtualized architecture. IT teams can manage and secure the network through Alkira's centralized portal—or via REST APIs and Terraform for programmatic deployments. A single control plane manages the entire hybrid network—connecting public cloud workloads, private data centers, branch offices, remote users, and partner networks. This includes secure extranet support for M&A environments, allowing partial segmentation during network convergence. A Win for Carriers, Too Interestingly, carriers are also using Alkira to extend their reach. Aris explained that tier-one telcos are deploying Alkira to serve customers in markets where they lack infrastructure. “Instead of buying wholesale access from foreign providers, they spin up Alkira and deliver services in hours. It's flexible, fast, and operationally simple.” Where to Learn More Visit alkira.com to explore Alkira's cloud-first networking platform. Visit astrotel.io to learn how Astrotel deploys Alkira services across Asia-Pacific. Partner Opportunities: Alkira's 100% channel-focused model is open to partners in the U.S., Canada, and globally who are ready to offer NIaaS and cloud-native connectivity solutions.

For this special edition of TCP Talks, Justin Brodley and Matthew Kohn are joined by Chris Opat, SVP of Cloud Operations at Backblaze, to discuss how the cloud storage innovator is reshaping the industry landscape. From their origins as a consumer backup company to becoming a major player in enterprise cloud storage, Chris shares insights on AI workloads, the true cost of egress fees, and why your data doesn’t have to live in a walled garden. About Backblaze Backblaze started in 2007 with a simple mission: make storage so affordable it’s almost free. The company gained early notoriety for their DIY approach to storage infrastructure, with founders literally bending metal in apartments and conducting “gorilla storage purchasing” raids at Bay Area Best Buys and Fry’s Electronics to build their custom red storage pods. This scrappy, cost-conscious DNA remains central to the company’s identity today. In September 2015, Backblaze made their enterprise pivot with the launch of B2 Cloud Storage, entering the market at one-quarter the cost of Amazon S3. By December of that launch year, they had already attracted over 30,000 users. Today, Backblaze (NASDAQ: BLZE) manages approximately 4.7 exabytes of data across 310,000+ drives, serving over 500,000 customers in 175 countries. What sets Backblaze apart isn’t just their pricing—it’s their philosophy. While hyperscalers have built complex storage tiers with Byzantine billing structures, Backblaze offers one tier of hot storage with transparent, predictable pricing. Their recent push into AI workloads with B2 Overdrive demonstrates their ability to evolve with market demands while maintaining their core value proposition. About Chris Opat Chris Opat joined Backblaze as SVP of Cloud Operations in 2023, bringing over 25 years of experience in building teams and technology at startup and scale-up companies. Before Backblaze, he served as SVP of Platform Engineering and Operations at StackPath, specializing in edge technology and content delivery. His background includes extensive work with private equity portfolio companies, where he honed his skills in rapid transformation and growth. Chris describes himself as someone who thrives in “David vs. Goliath” scenarios, making Backblaze—with its mission to challenge the hyperscaler incumbents—a perfect fit. His passion for building exceptional technical teams and pushing technological boundaries aligns perfectly with Backblaze’s innovative culture. Interview Highlights The David vs. Goliath Mentality 3:15 Chris: “Nothing makes me happier than to watch a customer choose us over the incumbent competitors and have an exceptionally good experience. It’s easy to work for the incumbents and kind of win all the time. It feels so much better when you do it as the upstart that people don’t see coming.” Chris emphasized how Backblaze offers a fundamentally different partner experience compared to hyperscalers. While AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud may provide excellent services, they often lack the personal touch and flexibility that smaller customers need. At Backblaze, customers can directly influence product strategy and speak with decision-makers who shape the company’s direction.

In episode 250 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about ABAP Vibe Coding!Vibe coding is a very hot topic at the moment. I myself have explored a few things and the results using Claude or GitHub Copilot are atcually pretty impressive. When doing this with ABAP, the results are only so-so. From timt to time the LLM suggests function modules or data objects that actually do not exist in the SAP system. This can be quite frustrating. So wouldn't it be great if there was a way to ground the LLM on the data objects that are actually available in MY SAP system? Well, I am glad to have Alice Vinogradova back with us to give us some sneek peak at what can happen if you combine the OData MCP Bridge, a custom OData service which exposes classes, interaces and functions and GitHub Copilot.

It was such a privilege to help guide modern families as they learned old-fashioned skills and stepped into a simpler, more self-sufficient way of life.  I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what it was really like on set—the challenges, the surprises, and the moments that reminded me why I'm so passionate about preserving these traditional skills and passing them on to the next generation.

Ein Quartal, 3,7 Billionen Dollar mehr Börsenwert – die Magnificent 7 treiben weiter den Markt! Doch nicht alle Big-Techs performen gleich. Tobias Kramer und Pip Klöckner analysieren die Zahlen, Bewertungen und KI-Fantasien der großen Tech-Titel – und verraten, welche Aktien sie auf Outperform und welche sie auf Underperform setzen. • Nvidia bleibt das Maß aller Dinge: +47 % Kursplus in nur drei Monaten – aber wie lange kann das KI-Momentum noch tragen? • Alphabet ist trotz KI-Sorgen weiterhin der günstigste Titel im Max-7-Universum – Pip erklärt, warum er bullish bleibt. • Amazon überzeugt mit einem starken Quartal, kämpft aber mit schwächerem Konsum und steigenden Bewertungsmultiples. • Apple liefert kaum Innovation und wirkt ohne KI-Fantasie zunehmend uninspiriert – ist die Underperformance gerechtfertigt? • Meta punktet mit Werbegeschäft und WhatsApp-Fantasie, hat aber interne KI-Probleme und ein Vertrauensdefizit bei Fake-Profilen. • Microsoft kombiniert Cloud-Wachstum mit KI-Power und bleibt einer der stabilsten Big-Tech-Performer. • Tesla bleibt eine Glaubensfrage: Schwache Absatzzahlen, verzögerte Robotaxi-Fantasie und trotzdem weiter hoch bewertet. • Bonus: IONOS, der deutsche Cloud-Player, überrascht als deutscher Hidden Champion mit solidem Wachstum, Rückenwind durch digitale Souveränität und Übernahmefantasie.

Welcome to episode 312 of The Cloud Pod, where your hosts, Matt, Ryan, and Justin, are here to bring you all the latest in Cloud and AI news. We've got security news, updates from PostgreSQL, Azure firewall and BlobNFS, plus TWO Cloud Journey stories for you!  Thanks for joining us this week in the cloud!   Titles we almost went with this week: Git Happens: Why Your Database Pipeline Keeps Breaking PostgreSQL and Chill: Azure’s New Storage Options for Database Romance NVMe, Myself, and PostgreSQL Canvas and Effect: AWS Paints a New Picture for E-commerce Oracle’s $30 Billion Stargate: The AI Infrastructure Wars Begin Larry’s Last Laugh: Oracle Lands OpenAI’s Mega Deal AI Will See You Now (Couch Not Included) Purview and Present Danger: Microsoft’s AI Security SDK Goes Live The Purview from Up Here: Microsoft’s Bird’s Eye View on AI Data Security Building Bridges: Azure’s Two-Way Street to Active Directory Domain Names: Not Just for Browsers Anymore FUSE or Lose: Azure’s BlobNFS Gets a Speed Boost When Larry Met Andy: An Exadata Love Story Bing There, Done That: Azure’s New Research Assistant The Search is Over: Azure AI Foundry Finds Its Research Groove Memory Lane: Where AI Agents Go to Remember Things Elephants Never Forget, and Now Neither Do Google’s Agents Z3 or Not Z3: That is the Storage Question Local SSD Hero: A New Hope for I/O Intensive Workloads Azure’s Certificate of Insecurity KeyVault’s Keys Left Under the Doormat When Your Cloud Provider Accidentally CCs the Hackers AI Is Going Great – Or How ML Makes Money  03:09 RYAN DOES A THING FOR SECURING AI WORKLOADS Ryan was recently invited to Google's Headquarters in San Francisco as part of a small group of security professionals where they spent time hands-on with Google security offerings, learning how to secure AI workloads.  AI – and how to secure it – is a hot topic right now, and being able to spend time working with the Google development team was really insightful, with how they work with various levels of protections in place in dummy applications.  Ryan was especially interested in the back-end logic that was executed in the applications.  05:32  Ryan – “I was impressed because there’s how we’re thinking about AI is still evolving, and how we’re protecting it’s gonna be changing rapidly, and having real-world examples really helped really flesh out how their AI services are, how they’re integrated into a security ecosystem. It was pretty impressive. And it’s something that’s near and dear. I’ve been working and trying to roll out Google agent spaces and different AI workloads and trying to get involved and make sure that we, just getting visibility into all the different ones. And that was, it was really helpful to sort of think about it in those contexts.” 10:13 OpenAI secures $30bn cloud deal with Oracle OpenAI signed a $30 billion annual cloud computing agreement with Oracle for 4.5GW of capacity, making it one of the largest AI cloud deals to date, and nearly triple Oracle’s current $10.3 billion annual data center infrastructure revenue.

The rise of structure software fueled globalization by streamlining operations across borders. Now, Cloud and AI are accelerating this momentum, enabling faster innovation, smarter decision-making, and scalable growth. By modernizing ERP with intelligent technologies, organizations can stay agile, competitive, and ready for the next wave of global transformation.This week, Dave, Esmee and Rob talk to Timo Elliott, Innovation Evangelist at SAP, to explore how SAP is driving globalization—and how organizations can accelerate innovation through the power of Cloud and AI.

C'est un petit séisme dans le monde de l'intelligence artificielle. OpenAI, jusqu'ici jalousement attachée à ses modèles propriétaires, s'apprête à publier un modèle de langage en accès ouvert, dont les paramètres internes seront téléchargeables librement. Une première depuis la création de l'entreprise en 2015. Fini le passage obligé par les API maison ou les serveurs de Microsoft. Ce nouveau modèle pourra être utilisé directement, hébergé localement par les entreprises, les institutions ou même les chercheurs. Et selon les informations de The Verge, il serait comparable à o3 mini, déjà réputé pour ses performances en raisonnement. De quoi faire trembler l'écosystème actuel.Ce changement de cap marque un tournant stratégique. Depuis 2019, OpenAI conservait ses modèles sous clé, notamment en raison de son partenariat exclusif avec Microsoft, scellé en 2023. La firme de Redmond bénéficiait d'un accès privilégié aux versions les plus avancées des modèles d'OpenAI, en échange d'un partage des revenus sur Azure et ChatGPT. Mais avec ce modèle ouvert, la donne change. Hugging Face, Oracle ou d'autres fournisseurs cloud pourront bientôt proposer le modèle à leurs clients, sans passer par Azure. Cette ouverture soulève évidemment des questions sur la licence qui accompagnera la sortie. Les paramètres seront accessibles, oui — mais qu'en est-il du code source ou des données d'entraînement ? Sans eux, certains observateurs estiment que l'ouverture risque de n'être que partielle.Côté calendrier, l'annonce pourrait survenir dès la semaine prochaine, selon plusieurs sources proches du dossier. OpenAI aurait déjà présenté le modèle à des chercheurs et développeurs pour collecter des retours. Cette décision s'inscrit dans un mouvement plus large. Meta avec Llama, Mistral AI en Europe, et maintenant OpenAI : tous s'alignent sur une demande croissante d'IA open-weight, en particulier dans les secteurs publics et réglementés. La Commission européenne a d'ailleurs lancé en juin un appel à projets pour tester ces IA dans ses administrations. Un modèle ouvert, c'est moins de dépendance, plus de personnalisation, et surtout, une course à l'innovation relancée. Alors que le marché mondial de l'IA générative a dépassé les 45 milliards de dollars cette année, OpenAI vient peut-être de redistribuer les cartes. Hébergé par Acast.

Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky are the co-creators of the Design Sprint (the famous five-day product innovation process) and authors of the bestselling book Sprint. After decades of working with over 300 startups in the earliest stages, they discovered that most startups fail not because they can't build, but because they build the wrong thing. The very beginning of a startup is your highest-leverage moment, and most teams waste months or years by skipping a few critical early questions. Jake and John developed the Foundation Sprint to help startups validate ideas and compress months of work into just two days.What you'll learn:1. The step-by-step Foundation Sprint process that compresses three or four months of validation into two days—including templates you can use immediately2. Why differentiation is the #1 predictor of startup success (with the 2x2 framework that you can use with your team)3. The three fundamental questions every founder should answer before writing a line of code4. The “note and vote” technique that eliminates groupthink and gets honest answers from your colleagues5. The seven “magic lenses” for choosing between multiple product ideas6. The biggest mistake engineers make when building with AI tools7. The paradox of speed: why “building nothing first” can get you to product-market fit faster—Brought to you by:Brex—The banking solution for startups: https://www.brex.com/product/business-account?ref_code=bmk_dp_brand1H25_ln_new_fsParagon—Ship every SaaS integration your customers want: https://www.useparagon.com/lennyCoda—The all-in-one collaborative workspace: https://coda.io/lenny—Transcript: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/the-foundation-sprint-jake-knapp-and-john-zeratsky—Where to find Jake Knapp:• X: https://twitter.com/jakek• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jake-knapp/• Website: https://jakeknapp.com/—Where to find John Zeratsky:• X: https://twitter.com/jazer• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnzeratsky/• Website: https://johnzeratsky.com/—In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Introduction to Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky(04:41) Origins of the Design Sprint(11:06) The Foundation Sprint process(14:40) Phase one: The basics(16:57) Case study: Latchet(28:50) Phase two: Differentiation(36:24) The importance of differentiation(40:15) Thoughts on price differentiation(43:37) Case study: Mellow(46:04) Custom differentiators(49:30) The mini manifesto(52:02) Phase three: Approach to the project(54:50) Magic lenses activity(01:02:39) Prototyping and testing(01:10:00) Real-world examples and success stories(01:15:15) Motivation behind The Foundation Sprint(01:17:15) The outcome of the sprint: The founding hypothesis(01:19:28) The Design Sprint(01:28:19) The role of AI in prototyping(01:36:50) Final thoughts and resources—Referenced:• Introducing the Foundation Sprint: From the creators of the Design Sprint: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/introducing-the-foundation-sprint• Making time for what matters | Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky (authors of Sprint and Make Time, co-founders of Character Capital): https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/making-time-for-what-matters-jake• Eli Blee-Goldman on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eli-blee-goldman/• Character Capital: https://www.character.vc/• Character Labs: https://www.character.vc/labs• Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/• Shopify: https://www.shopify.com/• Naming expert shares the process behind creating billion-dollar brand names like Azure, Vercel, Windsurf, Sonos, Blackberry, and Impossible Burger | David Placek (Lexicon Branding): https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/naming-expert-david-placek• Sonos: https://www.sonos.com/• Vercel: https://vercel.com/• Windsurf: https://windsurf.com/• April Dunford on product positioning, segmentation, and optimizing your sales process: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/april-dunford-on-product-positioning• Positioning: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/positioning• 10 things we know to be true: https://about.google/company-info/philosophy/• Gandalf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandalf• Frodo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frodo_Baggins• Mordor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordor• 35 years of product design wisdom from Apple, Disney, Pinterest, and beyond | Bob Baxley: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/35-years-of-product-design-wisdom-bob-baxley• The Primal Mark: How the Beginning Shapes the End in the Development of Creative Ideas: https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/publications/primal-mark-how-beginning-shapes-end-development-creative-ideas• Base44: https://base44.com/• Solo founder, $80M exit, 6 months: The Base44 bootstrapped startup success story | Maor Shlomo: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/the-base44-bootstrapped-startup-success-story-maor-shlomo• Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/• Blue Bottle Coffee: https://bluebottlecoffee.com• Reclaim: https://reclaim.ai/• The official Foundation Sprint + Design Sprint template: https://www.character.vc/miro-template• Rippling: https://www.rippling.com/• Latchet: https://latchet.com/• Mellow: http://getmellow.com/• AxionOrbital: https://axionorbital.space/—Recommended books:• Sprint: How to Solve Big Problems and Test New Ideas in Just Five Days: https://www.amazon.com/Sprint-audiobook/dp/B019R2DQIY• Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day: https://www.amazon.com/Make-Time-Focus-Matters-Every/dp/0525572422• Click: How to Make What People Want: https://www.amazon.com/Click-Make-What-People-Want/dp/1668072114Production and marketing by https://penname.co/.

From dreaming of driving a bus to leading database engineering at Microsoft. In Episode 29 of Talking Postgres with Claire Giordano, Shireesh Thota traces his path to becoming CVP of Azure databases—rooted in a love of math, early BASIC programming, and a certainty that he'd become an engineer. We dig into the shift from engineer to manager (if only people came with documentation); why it's so important for Microsoft to contribute to the PostgreSQL open source project—not just consume it; and whether Shireesh has a favorite database (hint: it better be Postgres.)Links mentioned in this episode:Blog post excerpt: Why we have a Postgres open source contributor team at MicrosoftPodcast episode: Leading engineering for Postgres on Azure with Affan DarVS Code Marketplace: New VS Code extension for PostgreSQLPOSETTE 2025 talk: Introducing Microsoft's VS Code extension for Postgres by Matt McFarlandLinkedIn post: PGConf.dev 2025 talk on “The trouble with extensions” by Marco SlotPodcast episode: How I got started as a developer (& in Postgres) with David RowleyBook: Who Moved My CheeseCal invite: LIVE recording of Ep30 of Talking Postgres to happen on Wed Aug 6, 2025
