On this week\u2019s episode, we cover a recent move by the government of India to ban many Chinese-owned applications, including TikTok, which reportedly has more than 600,000,000 downloads in India. We also talk through a two-hour-long outage at Google Cloud Platform that affected multiple of its availability zones within a single region\u2014highlighting that availability zones may be architected differently between providers\u2014and briefly cover outages at Slack and Comcast, too. After our review of this week\u2019s highlights, I sat down with Atif Khan, CTO of Alkira and former co-founder of Viptela to talk enterprise cloud strategy.
