Kiwi cloud: grey skies or silver-lined?

Amazon and Microsoft have thrown around some big numbers about how their impending NZ-based datacentres will benefit the economy. But is it really that simple? Will Amazon and MIcrosoft's NZ public cloud regions be ready in 2024 as promised? Where do our local cloud companies fit in? All of these questions and more are discussed on our episode today as we're joined by Don Christie, NZ IT industry veteran and the founder and managing director of Catalyst IT and Catalyst Cloud. Plus, Ben talks about his visit to Rocket Lab for event celebrating the launch of NZ's first publically funded space project - MethaneSat.
