Cloud and AI news, Nov 13: Azure Data Share retirement

Transcript

Azure Data Share will retire on November 12, 2029. Plus Spend Management beta, Secrets cross-account, deepseek-flash tools and three more, in Friday's cloud updates.

Nothing migrates automatically, so plan a move to Microsoft Fabric sharing or Data Factory pipelines before then.

Cloudflare Spend Management is in beta and pauses Workers and Durable Objects when a pay-as-you-go limit is reached.

From AWS, Secrets Manager now keeps a synchronized secret copy in another account, in all Regions.

From DeepSeek, the deepseek-flash API now adds web search, file input, URL reading and a safety check.

Over at Google Cloud, Bigtable now shows read and write access patterns and latency in the console.

Back on AWS, Accelerated Compute Insights monitors self-hosted AI inference on EKS, including cost per token.

Back at Google Cloud, Policy Controller is now deprecated, and its support will end on December 31, 2027.

So, that's Friday. The one to act on: Google Cloud's Policy Controller deprecation, with action due by January 31, 2027. Another follows in 2029.

Follow for tomorrow's updates. The full list is at cloud changelog dot com.
