This week we give a little previous of what will be at the SpringOne conference, then cover some recent conferences. We then discuss the sudden emergence of "platform engineering" as a thing, and finish out by discussing what the kids are calling "FinOps," getting a handle on how much you're spending on cloud stuff.

As always, with your pals @egrigson, @benbravo73, & @cote.

Check out the livestream video if you like that kind of thing.
