Weekly Cloud Provider News – AWS CloudFormation, Azure Files Premium, Google Anthos
Each week, we highlight the latest cloud provider news from the industry’s top providers. This week, AWS CloudFormation adds modules, Azure Files Premium Tier adds IOPS, and Google Anthos adds bare metal to open up workloads.
- AWS announced that customers can now define their infrastructure and apps in AWS CloudFormation with new, reusable building blocks called modules. These modules can be stored locally in the CloudFormation Registry and encapsulate one or more resources and their respective configurations. This feature allows organizations to centralize CloudFormation documentation to help establish best practices. Learn more here.
- Microsoft has a new feature release in which all premium shares get additional baseline and burst input/output per second (IOPS) at zero cost, providing better performance and lower deployment costs. All storage accounts with premium tier storage now have access to an additional 400 IOPS, with smaller shares of 100GB being burstable with an increased 4,000 IOPS. This is particularly beneficial for workloads that need extra performance to handle spikes in traffic or sudden, unpredictable loads. Read more here.
- Google announced that Anthos on bare metal is now generally available. This feature opens up new possibilities for how, and where, customers run their workloads. Anthos gives customers an easier way to configure and manage microservices using Kubernetes, and Anthos on bare metal allows users to run Anthos anywhere while leveraging existing investments in physical hardware, networking, and storage.
