In Elixir Wizards S15E04, Charles Suggs and Emma Whamond are joined by Somtochi Onyekwere, a software engineer at Fly.io and contributor to the Corrosion distributed database project, to talk about distributed systems, infrastructure resilience, and the growing fragility of centralized cloud platforms.   We discuss what recent outages across major providers reveal about modern infrastructure and why more teams are starting to rethink assumptions around reliability, failover, and system design. Somtochi explains how Fly.io approaches geographic distribution, eventual consistency, and replication across nodes, along with the trade-offs that come with building systems this way.   The conversation explores CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types), consensus, split-brain prevention, and what actually happens when distributed systems fail in production. We also talk about testing strategies, rollback planning, property-based testing tools, and how teams can reduce blast radius when things inevitably go wrong.   Along the way, we discuss AI infrastructure, sandboxing AI agents, and how newer workloads may add pressure to already centralized systems. The episode closes with practical advice for developers who want to build more resilient applications without over-complicating their architecture. Topics Discussed in this Episode: Corrosion and distributed database replication Centralized cloud fragility and recent outage patterns Distributed systems versus traditional cloud architectures Multi-region deployment strategies for Phoenix applications CRDTs and conflict resolution in distributed systems Eventual consistency versus strict consistency tradeoffs Consensus, leader election, and split-brain prevention Testing failover and recovery scenarios Property-based testing and Antithesis Rollback planning for database schema migrations Reducing blast radius through system isolation Health checks and blue-green deployment strategies Fly Proxy request routing and replay behavior Cross-region synchronization and replication challenges Single points of failure inside “redundant” systems Backup restoration testing and disaster recovery planning Network partitions and failure handling in production Infrastructure monitoring and operational visibility AI infrastructure workloads and operational strain Sandboxing and securing AI agents Sprites and AI workflows at Fly.io Latency improvements from geographic distribution Distributed systems tradeoffs in real-world environments Transitive dependency failures across cloud providers Practical resilience strategies for modern engineering teams Links Mentioned: https://fly.io https://github.com/superfly/corrosion https://docs.gitops.weaveworks.org/ FluxCD https://fluxcd.io/ Fly.io Stateful Sandbox Environments https://sprites.dev/ Cloudflare Workers AI Inference Platform https://www.cloudflare.com/products/workers-ai/ “An AI Agent Just Destroyed Our Production Data.

We're hitting rewind for the next few weeks and bringing back some of our most popular episodes. So, sit back and enjoy these highlights from our archive. 00:12 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:38 Nikita: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs. Lois: Hey there! Last week, we spoke about how hypervisors, virtual machines, and containers have transformed data centers. Today, we're moving on to something just as important—the main cloud models that drive modern cloud computing. Nikita: Orlando Gentil, Principal OCI Instructor at Oracle University, joins us once again for part four of our discussion on cloud data centers.  01:14 Lois: Hi Orlando! Glad to have you with us today. Can you walk us through the different types of cloud models?  Orlando: These are commonly categorized into three main service models: Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service, and Software-as-a-Service. Let's use the idea of getting around town to understand cloud service models. IaaS is like renting a car. You don't own the car, but you control where it goes, how fast, and when to stop. In cloud terms, the provider gives you the infrastructure—virtual machines, storage, and networking—but you manage everything on top—the OS, middleware, runtime, and application. Thus, it's like using a shuttle service. You bring your bags—your code, pick your destination—your app requirements, but someone else drives and maintains the vehicle. You don't worry about the engine, fuel, or routing planning. That's the platform's job. Your focus stays on development and deployment, not on servers or patching. SaaS is like ordering a taxi. You say where you want to go and everything else is handled for you. It's the full-service experience. In the cloud, SaaS is software UXs over the web—Email, CRM, project management. No infrastructure, no updates, just productivity.  02:45 Nikita: Ok. How do the trade-offs between control and convenience differ across SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS? Orlando: With IaaS, much like renting a car, you gain high control. You are managing components like the operating system, runtime, your applications, and your data. In return, the provider expertly handles the underlying virtual machines, storage, and networking. This model gives you immense flexibility. Moving to PaaS, our shuttle service, you shift to a medium level of control but gain significantly higher convenience. Your primary focus remains on your application code and data. The provider now takes on the heavy lifting of managing the runtime environment, the operating system, the servers themselves, and even the scaling. Finally, SaaS, our taxi service, offers the highest convenience with the lowest control level. Here, your responsibility is essentially just using the application and managing your specific configurations or data within it. The cloud provider manages absolutely everything else—the entire infrastructure, the platform, and the application itself. 04:05 Nikita: One of the top concerns for cloud users is cost optimization. How can we manage this? Orlando: Each cloud service model offers distinct strategies to help you manage and reduce your spending effectively, as well as different factors that drives those costs. For Infrastructure-as-a-Service, where you have more control, optimization largely revolves around smart resource management. This means rightsizing your VMs, ensuring they are not overprovisioned, and actively turning off idle resources when not in use. Leveraging preemptible or spot instances for flexible workloads can also significantly cut costs. Your charges here are directly tied to your compute, storage, and network usage, so efficiency is key. Moving to Platform-as-a-Service, where the platform is managed for you, optimization shifts slightly. Strategies include choosing scalable platforms that can efficiently handle fluctuating demand, opting for consumption-based pricing where available, and diligently optimizing your runtime usage to minimize processing time. Costs in PaaS are typically based on your application usage, runtime hours, and storage consumed. Finally, for Software-as-a-Service where you can consume a ready-to-use application, cost optimization centers on licensing and usage. This involves consolidating tools to avoid redundant subscriptions, selecting usage-based plans if they align better with your needs, and crucially, eliminating any unused license. SaaS costs are generally based on subscription or per user fees. Understanding these nuances is essential for effective cloud financial management.  06:05 Lois: Ok. And what about scalability? How does each model handle the ability to grow and shrink with demand, without needing manual hardware changes? Orlando: How you achieve and manage that scalability varies significantly across our three service models. For Infrastructure-as-a-Service, you have the most direct control over scaling. You can implement manual or auto scaling by adding or removing virtual machines as needed, often leveraging load balancers to distribute traffic. In this model, you configure the scaling policies and parameters based on your specific workload. Moving to Platform-as-a-Service, the scaling becomes more automated and elastic. The platform automatically adjusts resources based on your application's demand, allowing it to seamlessly handle traffic spikes or dips. Here, the provider manages the underlying scaling behavior, freeing you from that operational burden. Finally, with Software-as-a-Service, scalability is largely abstracted and invisible to the user. The application scales automatically in the background, with the entire process fully managed by the provider. As a user, you simply benefit from the application's ability to handle millions of users without ever needing to worry about the infrastructure. Understanding these scaling differences is crucial for selecting the right model for your application's need.  07:45 Join the Oracle University Learning Community and tap into a vibrant network of over 1 million members, including Oracle experts and fellow learners.

How does that work?  Orlando: Availability refers to the ability of a system or service to remain accessible in operational, even in the face of failures or extremely high demand. The approach of achieving and managing availability, and crucially, your role versus the provider's, differs greatly across each model. With Infrastructure-as-a-Service, you have the most direct control over your availability strategy. You will be responsible for designing an architecture that includes redundant VMs, deploying load balancers, and potentially even multi-region setups for disaster recovery. Your specific roles involves designing this architecture and managing your failover process and data backups. The provider's role, in turn, is to deliver the underlying infrastructure with defined service level agreements, SLAs, and health monitoring. For Platform-as-a-Service, the platform itself offers a higher degree of built-in, high availability, and automated failover. While the provider maintains the runtime platform's availability, your role shifts. You need to ensure your application's logic is designed to gracefully handle retries and potential transient failures that might occur. Finally, with Software-as-a-Service, availability is almost entirely handled for you. The provider ensures fully abstracted redundancy and failover behind the scenes. Your role becomes largely minimal, often just involving a specific application's configurations. The provider is entirely responsible for the full application uptime and the underlying high availability infrastructure. Understanding these distinct roles in ensuring availability is essential for setting expectations and designing your cloud strategy efficiently. 10:32 Lois: Building on availability, let's talk Disaster Recovery. Orlando: DR is about ensuring your systems and data can be recovered and brought back online in the event of a significant failure, whether it's a hardware crash, a natural disaster, or even human error. Just like the other aspects, the strategy and responsibilities for DR vary significantly across the cloud service models. For Infrastructure-as-a Service, you have the most direct involvement in your DR strategy. You need to design and execute custom DR plans. This involves leveraging capabilities like multi-region backups, taking VM snapshots, and setting up failover clusters. A real-world example might be using Oracle Cloud compute to replicate your VMs to a secondary region with block volume backups to ensure business continuity. Essentially, you manage your entire DR process here. Moving to Platform-as-a-Service, disaster recovery becomes a shared responsibility. The platform itself offers built-in redundancy and provide APIs for backup and restore. Your role will be to configure the application-level recovery and ensure your data is backed up appropriately, while the provider handles the underlying infrastructure's DR capability. An example could be Azure app service, Oracle APEX applications, where your apps are redeployed from source control like Git after an incident. Finally, with Software-as-a-Service, disaster recovery is almost entirely vendor managed. The provider takes full responsibility, offering features like auto replication and continuous backup, often backed by specific Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) SLAs. A common example is how Microsoft 365 or Salesforce manage user data backups in restoration. It's all handled seamlessly by the provider without your direct intervention. Understanding these different approaches to DR is crucial for defining your own business continuity plans in the cloud. 12:59 Lois: Thank you, Orlando, for this insightful discussion. To recap, we spoke about the three main cloud models: IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, and how each one offers a different mix of control and convenience, impacting cost, scalability, availability, and recovery.  Nikita: Yeah, hopefully this helps you pick the right cloud solution for your needs.

Episode DescriptionIn this episode of the Emergency Management Network Podcast, Todd DeVoe and Andrew Boyarsky introduce a new long-form series, The 48 Laws of Emergency Management.This series explores the hard-earned lessons, leadership principles, operational realities, and unwritten rules that define the profession of emergency management. Drawing inspiration from decades of field experience, philosophy, crisis leadership, disaster policy, and organizational behavior, Todd and Andrew discuss why emergency management is far more than plans and checklists. It is about people, decision-making, trust, adaptation, communication, and leadership under pressure.This opening episode serves as an overview of the series and lays the foundation for future conversations. The discussion examines how emergency managers operate in ambiguity, why relationships matter more than org charts, and how the profession continues to evolve in an increasingly complex world.Whether you are a new emergency manager, a seasoned practitioner, or simply interested in leadership and crisis management, this series aims to challenge assumptions and encourage deeper thinking about the profession and its future.Show NotesThe Emergency Management Network launches a new ongoing series: The 48 Laws of Emergency Management. Hosted by Todd DeVoe and Andrew Boyarsky, this series examines the deeper realities of emergency management through practical experience, philosophy, leadership lessons, and honest conversation about the profession.Emergency management is often taught through doctrine, frameworks, and plans, but the real work of the profession happens in the face of uncertainty. This series explores the lessons that emergency managers learn over years of disasters, activations, political environments, public expectations, and operational pressures.In this introductory episode, Todd and Andrew discuss:* Why emergency management is fundamentally about people* The unwritten rules of leadership during a crisis* How emergency managers build influence without direct authority* Why relationships matter more than organizational charts* The importance of trust, communication, and credibility* The tension between policy and operational reality* How philosophy and systems thinking apply to emergency management* Leadership lessons from military command philosophy and disaster response* Why is adaptability one of the profession's most important traits* The future challenges facing emergency management professionalsThe conversation also explores how emergency management has evolved into a profession that requires strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, operational competence, and the ability to work across disciplines and political environments.This episode sets the stage for future installments, in which Todd and Andrew will break down individual “laws” and discuss the practical application of each principle in real-world emergency management.TagsEmergency Management, Emergency Management Network, EMN, Todd DeVoe, Andrew Boyarsky, Disaster Response, Crisis Leadership, FEMA, IAEM, Public Safety, Emergency Planning, Incident Command, EOC, Community Resilience, Disaster Recovery, Crisis Communication, Leadership, Systems Thinking, Homeland Security, Disaster Policy, Emergency Preparedness, Emergency Operations, Crisis Management, Disaster Leadership, Emergency Manager, Organizational Leadership This is a public episode.

In this episode of Disaster Tough Podcast, John Scardena breaks down the latest FEMA developments, including the FEMA Review Council recommendations and @Cameron Hamilton's nomination for Senate confirmation. More importantly, this episode focuses on what emergency managers, crisis leaders, and public safety professionals should actually do when major news occurs. Rather than getting consumed by rumors, predictive analysis, or “what if” thinking, this episode challenges leaders to focus on operational readiness, credibility, adaptability, and mission execution. John introduces practical leadership concepts like the “So What? Now What?” mindset and the “Washing Machine” framework: Keep, Stop, Enhance, or Start.

Send us Fan MailMFA feels like the finish line until you watch a company wire tens of millions of dollars to an attacker without a single password being stolen. We dig into why business email compromise (BEC) still works even in “secure” environments, because the real target is the decision point: trust, timing, urgency, and authority. When attackers can spoof executives or use deepfake voice and video, the authentication layer often never gets challenged in a meaningful way. We break down practical, real-world defenses that go beyond “more tools”: fixing payment and approval workflows, defining what counts as a high-risk transaction, forcing out-of-band verification using known contact details, adding mandatory pauses for unusual transfers, and training teams with realistic BEC scenarios during end-of-quarter and holiday pressure. The big takeaway is that blocked phishing emails are not the same thing as protected money movement, and leadership has to own that gap. Then we pivot into CISSP Domain 7 with a clear, test-focused walkthrough of disaster recovery plans. A DR plan on paper is not resilience, so we cover the five primary DR testing types: read-through checklist, walkthrough and tabletop, simulation, parallel, and full interruption. You will learn what each test proves, why most organizations stop at simulation, and how to build toward higher-confidence testing without taking reckless risks. If this helps you, subscribe for weekly CISSP-focused cyber training, share the episode with a teammate, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Gain exclusive access to 360 FREE CISSP Practice Questions at FreeCISSPQuestions.com and have them delivered directly to your inbox!  Don't miss this valuable opportunity to strengthen your CISSP exam preparation and boost your chances of certification success.

In this episode we welcome Naveen Neelakantam, Chief Architect of Everpure's Digital Experience Business Unit. Naveen dives into the origin and evolution of Everpure's Digital Experience (DX), detailing how DX revolutionized storage management by moving beyond reactive support. The foundation of this lies in the phone home telemetry data collected from storage arrays, which first enabled the Cloud Assist capability. This data powers the ability to proactively identify and prevent issues, non-disruptively upgrade systems, and ensure a first-class support experience for every customer. Naveen explains how the intelligence gathered through telemetry propelled innovations like Pure1 and Evergreen//One. Pure1, the cloud-based platform, uses machine learning to offer predictive recommendations—such as projecting capacity needs to avoid unexpected overages. This predictive power is central to Evergreen//One, the consumption-based storage-as-a-service offering. By managing the physical appliance using telemetry, Everpure allows customers to consume logical storage connected to SLAs, simplifying the procurement process and eliminating the complexity of managing hardware specifics. This subscription model provides predictability and isolates customers from pricing pressures on components. Our discussion shifts to the future of storage and the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence. Naveen details AI Co-pilot, an agentic AI interface that helps users triangulate performance issues and orchestrate complex operations, such as migrating VMs, through conversational language using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This move to active management is further realized through Pure1 Edge, allowing fleet-level data management and cloud-based upgrades. We then touche on Everpure Protect, a crucial cloud-based Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solution. Ultimately, Naveen advises IT leaders to embrace AI as a powerful tool—like the domestication of the horse—that will make people more effective and accelerate innovation.

Matt Loria built a top-tier cybersecurity and IT firm without a single tech degree or certification.Back when he and his brother ran a computer recycling business, they went repeatedly through IT providers. It was always the same: things started great, then the service just vanished. When Matt eventually told his brother he was starting his own IT firm, his brother pointed out the obvious.. "You don't know anything about IT."But Matt knew exactly what it looked like when someone did it wrong, and he knew how to fix it.That gap became the foundation for Auxiom. By bringing in a technical co-founder and focusing on the service and culture the industry was missing, he turned the company into a gold standard. Today, Auxiom handles everything from network security to AI readiness for massive, billion-dollar companies.We covered:→ Why antivirus software alone leaves your business dangerously exposed→ What a cyber attack actually costs after the breach (the rebuilding is worse than the hack)→ How AI has supercharged the threat landscape and what the good guys are doing to keep up→ Why every executive needs 30-60 minutes a day inside AI tools right now→ And why Matt interviews a candidate's spouse before making a major hireOne major takeaway: owners can't vision cast for something they don't know exists. That's why it's imperative every business owner gets their hands dirty with AI.Thank you Matt for coming to the studio and for sharing your story and expertise.

Welcome to episode 345 of The Cloud Pod, where the forecast is always cloudy! Justin, Ryan, and Matt are in the studio this week and are ready to bring you all the latest in cloud and AI news, including what's going on between Anthropic, the DOD, and OpenAI, what the war means for Middle East data centers (Spoiler – I hope you have a good Disaster Recovery plan), and Transit Gateway pricing changes that are enough to make a grown man cry. And don't bother waiting: Matt has completely forgotten almost two years of “bye everybody” and now claims full amnesia as to what his outtro is. Oh well. Let's get into today's show.  Titles we almost went with this week Claude Learned to Use a Computer Better Than Your Dad **OpenAI Amazon and OpenAI’s $138 Billion AI Bromance When Two AZs Go Dark the Cloud Gets Crispy Fifty Billion Reasons AWS Loves OpenAI Now **Anthropic Azure Still Wins Even When AWS Thinks It Did Fire, Water, and a Multi-AZ Assumption Goes Up in Smoke Claude Refuses to Go Full Skynet for the Pentagon GPT-5.3 Instant Finally Stops Lecturing You No Killer Robots Without Human Approval Please Terraform Finally Sees Your Forgotten Cloud Resources Stage Before You Rage Deploy Azure Firewall CrowdStrike to Zscaler AWS Wants Your Security Tab One Hub to Rule Your API Sprawl Transit Gateway Attachments Just Got Surprisingly Expensive Azure Container Registry Finally Has Room for Your AI Hoarding Bedrock Gets a Roommate OpenAI Moves In Azure Firewall Gets a Safety on the Trigger Stop Writing Scripts, Just Import the Dang Infrastructure Audit Your APIs Before March 2026 Bites You Damn it… my excuse not to DR is gone I'm Epically Furious about DR AI Is Going Great – Or How ML Makes Money  03:34 Anthropic acquires Vercept to advance Claude’s computer use capabilities  Anthropic acquired Vercept, a team specializing in AI perception and interaction, to strengthen Claude’s computer use capabilities.  The Vercept founders, including Ross Girshick, bring deep expertise in how AI systems visually interpret and interact with software interfaces. Claude Sonnet 4.6 shows substantial improvement in computer use benchmarks, jumping from under 15% on the OSWorld evaluation in late 2024 to 72.5% today.  The model is now approaching human-level performance on tasks like navigating spreadsheets and completing multi-tab web forms. Computer use enables Claude to operate inside live applications the way a human would, handling multi-step workflows across tools that cannot be automated through code alone.  This is relevant for enterprise use cases involving document processing, browser-based workflows, and cross-application task management. This is Anthropic’s second acquisition in a short period, following the purchase of Bun, which was tied to the Claude Code milestone. The pattern suggests Anthropic is actively acquiring specialized engineering teams rather

Three million homes are damaged by natural disasters in the US every year — and with a billion-dollar storm hitting roughly every ten days, that number is only growing. But the system for repairing affected homes is stuck in the past, with mountains of paperwork, fragmented funding, and rampant fraud leaving vulnerable homeowners stranded.This week on Everybody in the Pool, Molly sits down with Susan Hunt Stevens, the founder and CEO of Tessi, a platform working to fix what she calls the “broken post-disaster home repair system.” Tessi brings homeowners, vetted contractors, insurers, government programs, and other funders onto a single platform that uses AI-driven damage assessments to quickly evaluate a home in the wake of a disaster.We talk about:How Tessi uses AI and aerial imagery to generate damage assessments within 24 hoursHow the surge in natural disasters has made homeowners increasingly vulnerable to contractor fraudWhy only 4% of homeowners affected by flooding and hurricanes are actually covered by insuranceHow homeowners can use disaster repair as an opportunity to implement climate-adaptive upgradesTessi's role in a complicated ecosystem where any repair might be funded by a patchwork of insurance, personal savings, home equity loans, government aid, and even GoFundMeHow Tessi is partnering with volunteer disaster relief organizations to serve socially vulnerable homeowners who fall outside the paid systemTessi's goal of serving 1 million homes within 5 yearsLinks:Tessi: https://tessi.ai/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show: https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

S1E10: Disaster Recovery Is Dead. Long Live Technology Resilience! On this episode, host Steven Hajny is joined by Heather Costa, Director of Technology Resilience at Mayo Clinic, to unpack what “resilience” really means in modern healthcare IT, especially when cyber disruption is the clear and present danger. Heather champions for moving beyond traditional “disaster recovery” thinking and instead prioritizing business workflows (the minimum viable hospital) over recovering hundreds of Tier 1 apps. Together they explore why recovery timelines always “depend,” why honest planning beats rosy assumptions, and how Zero Trust-era identity systems have become ground zero when everything goes sideways.

In a podcast recorded at ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Gregory Tellone, CEO of Cloud IBR, about simplifying disaster recovery (DR) testing and turning recoverability into a practical, recurring revenue opportunity for MSPs. Cloud IBR is a SaaS platform designed for organizations using Veeam backups. With a single click, the system provisions dedicated bare-metal cloud servers, installs operating systems, restores encrypted backup repositories, configures networking, VPN access, firewalls, and hands off a fully operational environment for either a live disaster or a scheduled recovery test. “Most backup products are great at backup,” Tellone explained. “The problem is knowing whether your backups are actually good and being able to test recovery easily.” The platform addresses a longstanding gap in the SMB market: the complexity and cost of maintaining secondary DR sites and conducting realistic recovery testing. Traditional DR requires duplicate infrastructure, bandwidth, replication management, and ongoing maintenance—often making full testing impractical. Cloud IBR automates that entire process in approximately 20 minutes of onboarding time, enabling monthly recovery testing by default and generating detailed PDF reports documenting every recovered server and recovery time objective (RTO). For MSPs, the opportunity is strategic. Starting at $299 per month, the service provides a low-barrier entry point into customer accounts while strengthening trust and expanding monthly recurring revenue. Tellone described it as a relationship builder: “It's always easier to sell to a customer than to a prospect. You start with something simple that works, and from there you grow.” With automated reporting suitable for cyber insurance applications and RFP responses, Cloud IBR transforms disaster recovery from a checkbox exercise into a demonstrable operational advantage.

Think your cloud backups will save you from a ransomware attack? Think again. In this episode, Matt Castriotta (Field CTO at Rubrik) explains why the traditional "I have backups" mindset is dangerous. He distinguishes between Disaster Recovery (business continuity for operational errors) and Cyber Resilience (recovering from a malicious attack where data and identity are untrusted) .Matt speaks about the "dirty secrets" of cloud-native recovery, explaining why S3 versioning and replication are not valid cyber recovery strategies . The conversation shifts to the critical, often overlooked aspect of Identity Recovery. If your Active Directory or Entra ID is compromised, it's "ground zero” and you can't access anything. Matt argues that identity must be treated as the new perimeter and backed up just like any other critical data source .We also explore the impact of AI agents on data integrity, how do you "rewind" an AI agent that hallucinated and corrupted your data? Plus, practical advice on DORA compliance, multi-cloud resiliency, and the "people and process" side of surviving a breach.Guest Socials - ⁠Matt's LinkedinPodcast Twitter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@CloudSecPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you are interested in AI Cybersecurity, you can check out our sister podcast -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AI Security Podcast⁠Questions:(00:00) Introduction(02:20) Who is Matt Castriotta?(03:20) Defining Cyber Resilience: The Ability to Say "No" to Ransomware(05:00) Why "I Have Backups" is Not Enough(06:45) The Difference Between Disaster Recovery and Cyber Recovery(10:20) Cloud Native Risks: Versioning and Replication Are Not Backups(12:50) DORA Compliance: Multi-Cloud Resiliency & Egress Costs(15:10) The "Shared Responsibility Model" Trap in Cloud(17:45) Identity is the New Perimeter: Why You Must Back It Up(22:30) Identity Recovery: Can You Restore Your Active Directory in Minutes?(25:40) AI and Data: The New "Oil" and "Crown Jewels"(27:20) Rubrik Agent Cloud: Rewinding AI Agent Actions(29:40) Top 3 Priorities for a 2026 Resiliency Program(33:10) Fun Questions: Guitar, Family, and Italian Food

Over the past 12 years, Jamaica has faced up to challenging hardships in order to earn hard won gains in terms of ordering the economy, reducing the debt to GDP ratio from 150% to 60% and reducing unemployment to 3.3%. It was, in short, an incredible success story. And then in November 2025, the island was struck by Hurricane Melissa, leaving the country in tatters. The two main industries of tourism and agriculture have been severely damaged and the outlook appears bleak.However, on The LatinNews Podcast this week, we speak to Caribbean economist Marla Dukharan who believes, in spite of the tragedy that befell Jamaica, that there are reasons to remain positive, as the platform for growth and recovery remain intact for the island nation. For Dukharan, Jamaica's human capital, economic know-how, strong diaspora, resilience fund and CRIFF agreement will help the recovery. Questions remain, of course, as to how to mitigate climate events of this nature in the future and how to reform the nature of international aid donations. Follow LatinNews for analysis on economic, political, and security developments in Latin America & the Caribbean.

When Hurricane Helene tore through western North Carolina a year ago, it left behind washed-out roads, flooded homes, and communities cut off from each other. For first responders, the storm was more than just a headline, it was a fight to save lives.In this episode of Stories of Appalachia, we sit down with Kevin Behm, a firefighter and first responder with the Nebo Fire Station in McDowell County, North Carolina, who lives in Marion. Kevin was on duty the night Helene hit and in the days that followed. He shares what it was like working that night and on the days that followed, navigating road closures and flooding and seeing firsthand how his neighbors pulled together in the aftermath of the storm.It's another one of the Stories of Appalachia.Thank you for listening.

Rachael Lee—aka my pick for “Queen of FEMA”—joins me to rip the curtain back on how small businesses really win FEMA work. We unpack why readiness beats rushing to a disaster site, the exact first steps (check the Disaster Recovery box in SAM, register on FEMA's vendor portal, tune your capability statement + NAICS to the work you can perform), and how to get on the radar before the storm by plugging into primes on vehicles like LOGCAP and WEXMAC and showing up at FEMA Industry Days posted on SAM.gov. Rachael explains FEMA's speed expectations—be able to mobilize in 24–48 hours—and shares war stories like a student who lost a tasking when she couldn't field 35 trucks by Friday. We also bust myths (you rarely start with a direct FEMA prime), and map the real path: subcontract with primes already on the vehicle, deliver, then scale. Rachael's background is stacked: 8 years Army (92A supply), contracting roles with KBR, and now consulting teams that carry clients from registrations to project execution. She helped a client win a $2.8B global MAC, and breaks down the surge in FEMA-relevant vehicles—WEXMAC 2.0 ($2.8B, awarded 12/24/2024) rolling into 2.1 at $10B—plus how notices flow to primes and why being on their lists matters. If you're serious about disaster response, this episode is your lifeboat: research your niche, verify margins on FPDS.gov, get your docs tight, register with primes, and be ready to move at a moment's notice.

How does the legacy of racial covenants impact housing equity and even fire recovery?   Host Curtis Chang welcomes Jasmin Shupper, visionary founder and CEO of Greenline Housing Foundation, to explore how racial injustice magnifies the impact of natural disasters. Together, they dive into the devastating effects of the LA fires—particularly the Eaton Fire in Altadena—where Black homeowners have faced disproportionate losses due to historical practices like redlining and racially restrictive covenants. Jasmin shares how her mission to close the racial wealth gap and prevent mass displacement offers a path toward real estate justice, resilience, and renewal.
