Spending is up, especially on cloud. But this notes that cloud spending is still less than 10% of the IT services spend!

[blog] <a href="https://medium.com/google-cloud/billed-for-unauthorized-requests-google-cloud-storage-vs-aws-s3-8d4d6551fe72">Billed for unauthorized requests? Google Cloud Storage vs. AWS S3</a>. This topic came up a week or so ago when a user got a massive bill for unauthorized 403 requests to their Amazon S3 bucket. AWS is fixing that, and this post looks at whether you&#8217;re at the same risk on Google Cloud. Hint: you&#8217;re not.

[blog] <a href="https://blog.howardjohn.info/posts/podless-kubernetes/">Podless Kubernetes</a>. As an academic exercise, could you deploy a full Kubernetes cluster and mesh in a single node binary, without any pods running? John did just that.
