Later in the article it describes many companies stance on mainframe, hybrid cloud and cloud.
Hybrid cloud just means you have all the security problems of hosting your own infra, AND all the security problems of the cloud. Not to mention other non security problems of both systems.
When these CIO / CTOs make this "middle of the road" decision, they are dooming their tech budget to spend more on infrastructure and processes than actual product.
It's one thing to have a "we are both until we finish migrating to one" but to try and maintain both forever is just punting the problem to the next person.
- greedo 6y agoIt's usually FOMA. Our CIO loves to brag about being in the cloud, but we have less than a handful of ec2 instances running, and barely use more than RDS (oh and Snowflake). But it lets him deflect any criticism, despite the added cost and management overhead. Plus, he'd have a hard time explaining more than 3 of the services AWS offers.
