S2E2 features a conversation with the US team of Ionos, a hosting and cloud provider looking to compete with Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. I'd heard that Ionos was a billion dollar company, but when I checked their market cap in late December, it was just over $3B! What's up with that? So I sat down with Seth Helgesen, Zachary Watson, and Brian Wick to get a better understanding of Ionos's potential value to you. Takeaways from the episode include :

• What are the key Ionos differentiators
• Is any hosting equipment required
• Where are the colo facilities
• Is redundancy available
• Ease of migrating to the Ionos platform
• What security features are built in
• Who does Ionos integrate with
• How does pricing work
• Direct and distribution channels
• Partner/Reseller programs with marketing dollars
• What does the roadmap look like
• Support for monolithic legacy applications
• Object storage just launched
• A special offer for podcast listeners
