The cloud business has seen significant advancements this April, with containers being a major focus area. Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers have largely adopted containers as the default way to build new applications, with almost 90% of Kubernetes developers using cloud-managed services instead of self-managed clusters. The most widely adopted cloud-managed orchestration solution is Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), which is also facing challenges due to its reliance on proprietary AWS technology. Meanwhile, Microsoft has announced a public preview of new virtual machines powered by Arm-based processors, offering improved price-performance and competing with IBM x86-based machines. The chip industry is experiencing disruptions due to the ongoing pandemic in China, affecting companies like TSMC and 3M's semiconductor coolant plant. Cloud maintenance issues have also led to outages for Atlassian customers, while a data breach at CashMama exposed sensitive Indian data. A Japanese data center company has found an unusual business diversification strategy by using empty wastewater tanks to farm eels, highlighting the innovative approaches being explored in the industry.
