The long term effects of this remain to be seen.
All our cloud providers are currently in growth mode.
What will happen when they're in 'mature industry with trapped customers mode'?
We know how Oracle handles that situation.
- busterarm 8y agoCloud services adoption rate is 19% and AWS has been around since 2006. The vast majority of companies in that 19% penetration are still in-transition. OpenStack and container orchestration platforms are now a thing. Not only do we have a long time to figure things out but it's never been easier to be on prem if you need to be.
- awakeasleep 8y agoHave you been a part of many successful cross-cloud migrations? Or migrations from the cloud to on-prem?

- busterarm 7y agoI'd have to say only partially to both questions. Cloud agnosticism is important enough to us that we're able to deploy the most critical bits of our infrastructure on prem, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and OpenStack. We operate all of the above but some resources have a bit of a lock-in problem for now. Total yearly infrastructure costs in the 10s of millions, US. If there's any takeaways that I have from this journey it's that Azure's platform is simply not competitive and is likely to continue to not be.
