Editorial take

The broadest practitioner archive in cloud security. Ashish Rajan, a former CISO, has run the show since 2019 and built a back catalog of 360 episodes covering AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, IaC, and cloud incident response, most with an engineer from a named company explaining what they built. Episodes run 30 to 60 minutes and the site posts a full transcript for each, which makes it unusually good study material. The honest limitation: since 2025 the feed has leaned hard into AI agents and AI SOC topics, and some recent episodes feature vendor guests. For pure cloud fundamentals, the 2021 to 2024 archive is where the depth is.

Last hand-checked 2026-09-30.

Listen if you …

  • are a cloud or platform engineer moving into security
  • want named-company case studies, like how Netflix secures thousands of AWS accounts
  • study with transcripts open next to the audio
  • need Kubernetes and IaC security covered by people who run it

Skip if you …

  • you want news, it is interview-driven and not tied to the week's headlines
  • you are tired of AI agent topics, they dominate the 2025 and 2026 episodes
