Curated RSS Feed Sources — Cloud/SaaS/IaaS/XaaS Experts

Verified RSS/Atom feeds for auto-content generation pages on toddcartercissp.blogspot.com. Compiled by research-agent on 2026-08-18. Every feed URL below was directly fetched and confirmed live at that time — none are guessed. Sources that looked promising but couldn't be verified are listed separately under "Checked but not usable" so they aren't rediscovered from scratch later.

Re-verify in 30 days. Vendor blog platforms (Adobe's and Pax8's especially) change feed infrastructure without notice. A cached verification table also lives in research-agent/memory/research-memory.md.

AWS

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/feed/
Official AWS product/feature announcements · Multiple/week
AWS Architecture Blog
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/architecture/feed/

AWS What's New (Recent Announcements)
https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/recent/feed/

https://www.microsoft.com/releasecommunications/api/v2/azure/rss
Official GA/preview/retirement notices · Multiple/day
Note: azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/feed/ (the intuitive guess) does not resolve to a feed — it's the HTML page. The real feed lives on Microsoft's release-communications API host above.

Google Cloud Platform

Google Cloud Blog
https://cloudblog.withgoogle.com/rss/
Official GCP product/customer-story blog · Multiple/day
GCP Release Notes
https://cloud.google.com/feeds/gcp-release-notes.xml (redirects to docs.cloud.google.com/feeds/gcp-release-notes.xml)

Google Workspace

Google Workspace Updates
https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/feeds/posts/default (redirects to feeds.feedburner.com/GoogleAppsUpdates)
Official, admin-facing Workspace changelog · Daily
No separate feed found for Google's general Workspace marketing blog — the Updates feed above is the authoritative one and the better fit for auto-content anyway.

Independent Analysts & Expert Voices

Werner Vogels — All Things Distributed
https://www.allthingsdistributed.com/atom.xml
Amazon CTO's personal engineering blog · ~1/month · Public

IDC — Cloud Computing RSS
https://www.idc.com/rss/rsscloudcomputing.xml (redirects to my.idc.com/...)
Tier-1 analyst firm; feed is a mix of press releases and market-forecast summaries · Daily · Public headlines; full reports paywalled
Use the newsletter feed, not the blog feed, for Corey Quinn — his blog feed (lastweekinaws.com/feed/) had gone quiet for ~3 months at check time; the newsletter archive is the actively maintained one.
Use Forrester's cloud-tag feed, not the general one — same publisher, tighter signal-to-noise for this blog's beat.

AppDirect Blog
https://appdirect.com/blog/feed
Company blog for the "Everything Store" marketplace platform · ~1–2/month
CloudBlue Blog
https://www.cloudblue.com/feed/

Checked but not usable — do not wire these in

Don't substitute a guessed URL for any of these. A 404'd feed will silently stop populating content on the auto-content pages, and it won't be obvious for weeks.

Adobe
Tried: /feed, /feed.xml, /rss.xml, /en/feed.xml, /en/publish/experience-cloud.rss, /en/topics/analytics/feed on blog.adobe.com
All 404. Only candidate found — Adobe Tech Blog on Medium (medium.com/feed/adobetech) — is structurally valid but hasn't posted since April 2025 (16 months stale). Not recommended.
Gartner
Tried: blogs.gartner.com/gbn/feed/
301-redirects to gartner.com/en/insights, a non-syndicated page. Public blog RSS is retired. Any "Gartner RSS" reference elsewhere online is outdated.
Pax8
Tried: https://www.pax8.com/en-us/blog/feed/
Resolves to a stale WordPress comments feed with zero article items (last-build-date stamped 2023) — not an article feed.
Omdia
Tried: omdia.tech.informa.com/rss-feeds
HTTP 403 on fetch — couldn't confirm working feed URLs behind the directory page.
Channel Futures / Channel Dive
Tried: Brand search
Channel Futures has sunset into "Channel Dive"; no working RSS URL found for either.

If Adobe or Gartner coverage is wanted specifically, the practical workaround is a paid aggregator (e.g. Feedly's curated Gartner topic, or an RSS.app/Zapier scraper on the Adobe blog page) rather than an official feed — not executed here, since it falls outside "verify official feeds."
