The number one thing that will derail the whole “public cloud” is the idea that the cloud is not public. It is highly likely that every Fortune 500 company has at least some business that someone in the tech sector would find unseemly. If they get the idea that they are an employee protest away from losing their business, they are not going to transition to the cloud. For this reason, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google have been signaling that they intend to keep it a public cloud. Going forward, it is reasonable to expect that the workers who do these type of protests will find themselves let go from the companies.
