227: The Cloud Pod Peeps at Azure’s Explicit Proxy
Manage episode 376911088 series 2499996
Welcome episode 227 of the Cloud Pod podcast – where the forecast is always cloudy! This week your hosts are Justin, Jonathan, Matthew and Ryan – and they’re REALLY excited to tell you all about the 161 one things announced at Google Next. Literally, all the things. We’re also saying farewell to EC2 Classic, Amazon SES, and Azure’s Explicit Proxy – which probably isn’t what you think it is.
Titles we almost went with this week:
- Azure announced a what proxy?
- The Cloud Pod would like you to engage with our email.
- Oracle Rover to Base… Come In Rover
- A snarky look at 160 Google Next Announcements
- Google Next’s got 161 Announcements and AI ain’t one
- How high can you count, Google can count to 161
- The cloud pod would like to get consensus on the definition of light weight
A big thanks to this week’s sponsor:

General News this Week:
AWS
00:36 Farewell EC2-Classic, it’s been swell
- Werner has a blog post talking about the end of Ec2-classic, with the final EC2-Classic instance being turned off on August 15th, 2 years after the announcement.
- He points out that the reason it was “classic” is because of the network architecture. All instances launched on a giant 10.0.0.0/8 flat network shared between all customers.
- The process for end users was simple, but it was highly complex for AWS at the time.
- The m1.small that launched was equivalent of 1 virtual CPU powered by a 1.7ghz Xeon processor with 1.75gb of ram, and 160gb of local disk, and 250mb/s of network bandwidth. For the low price of $0.10 per clocked hour.
- Werners blog even ran on the m1 small for 5+ years before he moved it to the Amazon S3 website feature.
- VPC’s introduced in 2013, allows AWS customers to have their own slice of the cloud.. But classic still lived for another decade.
- The EC2 team kept classic running until every instance was retired or migrated, providing the necessary documentation, tools and support from engineering and account management through the process.
- Werner shows that this is one of the best examples of delivering cloud for today’s workloads as well as tomorrow, and how AWS won’t pull the rug out from under you.
02:08 Ryan – “I think most people know who he was referring to there. But it is cool. I mean, the fact that they were able to actually retire a thing and not just turn it off on people is pretty amazing.”
03:38 Amazon SES now offers email delivery and engagement history for every email
- Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) has launched a new deliverability feature that helps customers troubleshoot individual email delivery problems, confirm delivery of critica
