Show notes
Markus och Johan funderar på om det är silly season i molnet, stora namnkunniga kunder som Apple, Dropbox och Spotify flyttar runt bland molnen och gör ingen större hemlighet av det. Snacket glider över till det där med hybrida, publika och privata moln och om vi egentligen vet vad som definierar ett sådant. Avslutningsvis avhandlar vi lite AI och hur Alpha Go slog en stormästare i Go.
