How Freddie Mac created a winning formula for cloud success

Pods are here, and they're building better cloud apps faster

As many companies are learning, developing cloud apps using traditional methods doesn’t work very well, because those methods just don’t move at the speed of cloud. In this episode, David Linthicum and guests, Deloitte’s Rajeev Vasudeva and HashedIn by Deloitte's Himanshu Varshney, discuss Deloitte’s recent acquisition of HashedIn. The trio focus on how HashedIn’s pod-based, agile development methodology—coupled with Deloitte’s digital transformation experience—can help companies speed their cloud journey with pod-based, agile delivery, a process he calls applied innovation. Himanshu also shares his take on what he thinks the very bright future of pod-based, agile software delivery holds as more companies adopt it.

Disclaimer: As referenced in this podcast, “Amazon” refers to AWS (Amazon Web Services) and “Google” refers to GCP (Google Cloud Platform).

You have to go to a different model of delivery, kind of industrialize it, and that's what the pod-based delivery does.
