Welcome to the Cloud Wars Minute — your daily news and commentary show, hosted by Cloud Wars Founder Bob Evans. Each episode provides insights and perspectives around the “reimagination machine” that is the Cloud.
In this episode, Bob reacts to a pair of recent videos featuring Larry Ellison and explains the Oracle founder and chairman’s investment in continued multi-cloud collaboration with Microsoft.
