Cloud Realities

Cloud transformation can take many forms, in this two part episode we hear first hand experiences of driving cloud transformation from a software development and application centric perspective, the challenges to overcome and value that can be delivered.

In this first part, Dave, Sjoukje & Rob meet David Anderson, Mark McCann & Micheal O'Reilly authors of 'The Value Flywheel Effect: Power the Future and Accelerate your Organisation to the Modern Cloud', and hear about their time at Liberty Mutual where, hungry for pioneering techniques, they drove a serverless centric cloud transformation and started to talk to Simon Wardly about value streams.

In Tech Trends this week we talk about something on everyones mind, the cost of Cloud as we run into 2023 and discuss best practice ways to manage it.
