Cloud Layoffs Hit Azure, Google, AWS Does Big Reorg

Only two days into the first full week of a new month and more cloud layoffs are in the works.

After that, find out what new AWS CEO Matt Garman did this week in a major reorganization (hint: no cloud layoffs at this point). Another hint: Channel head Ruba Borno has more teams to manage now.
