TechChannel Announces CloudBeat, a Monthly AWS Newsletter
Launching Sept. 24, CloudBeat explores the intersection between AWS and IBM technologies as IT ecosystems continue to converge
Acknowledging the deepening integration between mission-critical IBM systems and cloud platforms, TechChannel is announcing the launch of CloudBeat. The monthly newsletter will cover the AWS technologies and trends that matter most to technologists working in IBM environments.
In exploring where the cloud intersects with on-prem systems, CloudBeat readers will learn about modernization paths, migration nuances, data pipelines and cost factors—to name just a sampling of topics.
