In early June 2019, Google Cloud suffered a cascading set of faults that rendered multiple service regions unavailable for a number of hours.

VMware and Google Cloud have extended their partnership with the launch of a new offering which enables organisations to run their VMware workloads in Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

It is not only the law of large numbers which applies in cloud revenues, but also the law of large expectations. Amazon Web Services (AWS) reported revenues of $8.38 billion (£6.7bn) for its most recent quarter although a slight dip in growth saw pessimism from the analysts.

HSBC has been moving towards a cloud-first world - and the bank's latest endeavour has shed light on how it is pushing ahead in the DevOps sphere.
