A lot of under-the-radar cloud computing news to report this week. Have you seen how much data center capacity the “Big 3” public cloud providers – Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud – have? But that supremacy could soon be challenged by China’s hyperscalers.

Most importantly, IBM designed the technology to help organizations get a better handle on their governance and compliance — vital aspects for channel partners to understand.

And did you hear? Intel is buying a cloud startup out of Israel. It’s not a competitor to the Big 3 by any means yet it should help users rein in the costs associated with those cloud environments.

Finally, Unstoppable Domains, the startup that landed former AWS public sector exec Sandy Carter, has hired some gents from a couple of huge names.
