Yells at Cloud
The cloud doesn't yell back. But someone should.
Yells at Cloud is on hold until further notice. Episode 1 is still up wherever you listen.
A podcast where a rotating panel of AWS Heroes makes sense of the latest cloud news: the launches, the outages, the pricing pages that look like ransom notes. We're opinionated because we've earned it. These takes are backed by years of building, breaking, and getting paged for it.
Ep. 01 — Generally Available
AWS shipped Lambda MicroVMs, Firecracker-based sandboxes that snap back to life in milliseconds, and AJ cannot figure out who they're actually for. The pricing charges you two to three times more than it charges AWS' own services built on top of it, which is a choice. Matthew explained why CloudFormation Express Mode breaks a fundamental contract CFN has held since day one: it reports a stack as done before the resources are actually available, and disables rollback by default. Danielle brought actual good news: Cloudflare's temporary accounts let agents deploy and test without ever touching your credentials. Chris covered AWS WAF's new AI traffic monetization. Publishers can now charge crawlers per request instead of just blocking them. AJ called it too little too late. And Gunnar made the case that Microsoft and AWS launching billion-dollar forward-deployed engineering programs is basically an admission that enterprise AI adoption is stuck and the tools don't work without hand-holding.

What to expect
Each episode is an unscripted conversation among a rotating panel of hosts. They cover whatever's happening in the cloud world, from genuine breakthroughs to baffling pricing decisions, and occasionally devolve into genuine argument. Then you go complain to your coworkers.
