Hello there and welcome to be the STAR in an episode of my podcast the Cloud Show!

All you need is a single topic to discuss for twenty minutes and the lime light will be all yours!

This is a weekly live podcast featuring a conversation on one specific topic per episode, with a carefully balanced and concentrated format. This provides a valuable yet focused insight from an industry specialist and makes it easy for you – the STAR of the episode – to appear because the whole thing only takes thirty minutes (30) in your calendar!

The goal of your episode is for You to share with the world, something important, passionate, and/or top of mind, that you know is relevant for a “leader in a Cloud Project” to hear! Of course a topic can bee deeply technical and wonderfully geeky. It can also be on adjacent matters, such as project management, team building, or personal health. Given the limited time of an episode, detailed demos are not in scope. That said, a lot of goodness can be shared in the time alotted and the show will not be filled with a lot of extra content. To the point, so to say!

The show has been going for a while now and below you can see testimonials and a list of previous guests!

How to get on the show

The easiest way is to book your own time slot on the show (you must use an M365 account)! If that fails you can simply reach out to me through any of the social media options here on this page (bottom left).

Testimonials

Previous guests have been kind and have left comments on their experience on the show:

	"Magnus is a very engaging host and has a real knack for asking the right questions at the right time. As a result, The Cloud Show has the same vibes as catching up with an old friend." – Adele Carpenter [Watch to the episode]
"Conversation with Magnus is never dull! It was a pleasure to take part in the Cloud Show: Insightful conversation in a relaxed atmosphere with a charming host. Since taking part in an early episode, I've really enjoyed watching the show and learning from Magnus' broad range of guests." – Rik Hepworth [Watch to the episode]
	"I had the pleasure of joining Magnus on The Cloud Show, a podcast on which you can share your greatest passions and interests about anything Cloud-related some time ago. Magnus always makes it feel like having a drink with a friend while sharing your latest learnings and having a laugh about the bumps you hit along the way. That said, I must remind you to wear your bow-tie or heels… After all, you’ll be the star of the show!" – Laila Bougriâ [Watch to the episode]
"When Magnus asked me to be on the Cloud show, I didn’t know what to expect. But I just clicked the invite link, connected to the meeting and after chatting for about half an hour, we were done before I knew it. 9/10 experience. Why not 10/10? We could have had this conversation in a bar, over a drink. That would have been better, but only ever so slightly." – Hanna Engel [Watch to the episode]
	"Magnus has an exceptional talent for creating a comfortable and engaging atmosphere in every conversation. I had the pleasure of being on the Cloud Show twice, and each time was a fantastic experience. I really enjoyed how the discussion was guided, making it easy to share insights and stories." – Olena Borzenko [Watch to the episode]
"No one can make you shine like Magnus. Inquisitive and on point, professional and respectful. After the recording you will both be happy with the result." – Hanna Engel [Watch to the episode]

The CloudBrew community conference in Belgium is always great! Happy to speak this year. It is a two-day event hosted by the Belgium Microsoft Azure User Group AZUG.

The event takes place in Mechelen, Belgium, on Thursday and Friday December 12 – 13, 2024.

My session is about lessons learned from using public cloud in public sector scenarios. There are so many things to talk about on this topic that one day even would not be enough, let alone one session. However, I will cover some of the major topics and challenges in this area. I think it is quite important to discuss the hardships and difficulties openly and honestly so that we as an industry can approach synergy in terms of handling the situation and have forward (upward) progress to the cloud for this sector.

It was a pleasure to keynote the Action AI Conference in Delhi on October 18. It was so good to be back in India with good friends doing what I love the most – delivering good technical content to learners of all ages and experience levels.

Supercharge your AI journey with dedicated content tailored for you, from business strategy to technical deep dives. This is your chance to learn, network, and propel yourself and your organization to the forefront of AI.”

Action AI is a conference in collaboration with C# Corner the amazing 3.1M member global tech community.

The amazing ESPC conference, this time in Stockholm on December 2 – 5, 2024!

Happy to be there and speak about “Beyond quick’n dirty cloud to agile, cheap, and fast”.

ESPC is always a great show and Stockholm will be true to form. I love my capital city which will be all made up in Christmas shroud welcoming a couple of thousand attendees, speakers, and sponsors.

It is my great pleasure to serve as programme chair for the conference along side my good friend Maarten Ekels, and with the incredible Luise Freese, Paolo Pialorsi, and Merethe Stave. Together we have had the painful pleasure of selecting a super-star lineup of speakers and sessions, while of course also needing to say no to many more great submissions. We could have made three ESPCs with all the smashing sessions submitted. After the difficult selection process we came up with something truly special for ESPC 2024, and we hope and trust you will enjoy it!

My own session will be about application centric observability in the cloud where I will be talking about how to view all the resources, compute, paas services, and more that make up your application as ONE thing that you can observe and measure as a unit.

It was an excellent event in Guatemala where I spoke at the Microsoft Experience Day (https://med.gt/).

“El Microsoft Experience Day regresó para presentar las últimas innovaciones de la industria tecnológica” => “Microsoft Experience Day returned to showcase the latest innovations in the tech industry”.

Together with my good friend Oscar Garcia Colon from Allied Global.

I talked about “Responsibilidad, transparencia y manejo de otros aspectos éticos dela IA” which means accountability, transparency, and handling of other ethical aspects of AI.

I wish I was able to deliver this in Spanish, but alas – I did it in English.

It was so good to see the Central American tech scene while I was visiting the country. It was my first visit to Guatemala and it was quite special to see the country guided by local amazing people.
