    326: Oracle Discovers the Dark Side (And Finally Has Cookies)
    Oct 23 2025
    Welcome to episode 326 of The Cloud Pod, where the forecast is always cloudy! Justin and Ryan are your guides to all things cloud and AI this week! We’ve got news from SonicWall (and it’s not great), a host of goodbyes to say over at AWS, Oracle (finally) joins the dark side, and even Slurm – and you don’t even need to ride on a creepy river to experience it. Let’s get started! Titles we almost went with this week SonicWall’s Cloud Backup Service: From 5% to Oh No, That’s Everyone AWS Spring Cleaning: 19 Services Get the Boot The Great AWS Service Purge of 2025 Maintenance Mode: Where Good Services Go to Die GitHub Gets Assimilated: Resistance to Azure Migration is Futile Salesforce to Ransomware Gang: You Can’t Always Get What You Want Kansas City Gets the Need for Speed with 100G Direct Connect. Peter, what are you up too Gemini Takes the Wheel: Google’s AI Learns to Click and Type Oracle Discovers the Dark Side (Finally Has Cookies) Azure Goes Full Blackwell: 4,600 Reasons to Upgrade Your GPU Game DataStax to the Future: AWS Hires Database CEO for Security Role The Clone Wars: EBS Strikes Back with Instant Volume Copies Slurm Dunk: AWS Brings HPC Scheduling to Kubernetes The Great Cluster Convergence: When Slurm Met EKS Codex sent me a DM that I’ll ignore too on Slack General News 01:24 SonicWall: Firewall configs stolen for all cloud backup customers SonicWall confirmed that all customers using their cloud backup service had firewall configuration files exposed in a breach, expanding from their initial estimate of 5% to 100% of cloud backup users. That’s a big difference…The exposed backup files contain AES-256-encrypted credentials and configuration data, which could include MFA seeds for TOTP authentication, potentially explaining recent Akira ransomware attacks that bypassed MFA.SonicWall requires affected customers to reset all credentials, including local user passwords, TOTP codes, VPN shared secrets, API keys, and authentication tokens across their entire infrastructure.This incident highlights a fundamental security risk of cloud-based configuration backups where sensitive credentials are stored centrally, making them attractive targets for attackers.The breach demonstrates why WebAuthn/passkeys offer superior security architecture since they don’t rely on shared secrets that can be stolen from backups or servers.Interested in checking out their detailed remediation guidance? Find that here. 02:36 Justin – “You know, providing your own encryption keys is also good; not allowing your SaaS vendor to have the encryption key is a positive thing to do. There’s all kinds of ways to protect your data in the cloud when you’re leveraging a SaaS service.” 04:43 Take this rob and shove it! Salesforce issues stern retort to ransomware extort Salesforce is refusing to pay ransomware demands from criminals claiming to have stolen nearly 1 billion customer records, stating they will not engage, negotiate with, or pay any extortion dema...

    00:45 OpenAI’s Sora 2 lets users insert themselves into AI videos with sound – Ars Technica

    • OpenAI’s Sora 2 introduces synchronized audio generation alongside video synthesis, matching Google’s Veo 3 and Alibaba’s Wan 2.5 capabilities.
    • This positions OpenAI competitively in the multimodal AI space with what they call their “GPT-3.5 moment for video.”
    • The new iOS social app feature allows users to insert themselves into AI-generated videos through “cameos,” suggesting potential applications for personalized content creation and social media integration at scale.
    • Sora 2 demonstrates improved physical accuracy and consistency across multiple shots, addressing previous limitations where objects would teleport or deform unrealistically.
    • The model can now simulate complex movements like gymnastics routines while maintaining proper physics.
    • The addition of “sophisticated background soundscapes, speech, and sound effects” expands potential enterprise use cases for automated video production, training materials, and marketing content generation without separate audio post-processing.

    Welcome to episode 323 of The Cloud Pod, where the forecast is always cloudy! Justin, Matt and Ryan are in the studio tonight to bring you all the latest in cloud and AI news! This week we have a close call from Entra, some DeepSeek news, Firestore, and even an acquisition! Make sure to stay tuned for the aftershow – and Matt obviously falling asleep on the job.

This follows their GenAI course that attracted 280,000 learners, with curriculum covering agent architectures, tools, memory systems, and production deployment.The course focuses on building autonomous AI agents and multi-agent systems, which represents a shift from traditional single-model AI to systems that can independently perform tasks, make decisions, and interact with tools and APIs.This development signals growing enterprise interest in AI agents for cloud environments, where autonomous systems can manage infrastructure, optimize resources, and handle complex workflows without constant human intervention.The hands-on approach includes codelabs and a capstone project, indicating Google’s push to democratize agent development skills as businesses increasingly need engineers who can build production-ready autonomous systems.The timing aligns with major cloud providers racing to offer agent-based services, as AI agents become essential for automating cloud operations, customer service, and business processes at scale.Interested in registering?
