There is a difference between "you're over 40, get out" and "you don't understand how to do this job in the current tech landscape, get out." One is age discrimination and is illegal. One is smart business. As for "here were are with most stuff in the cloud now" that is 100% a function of what industry you're in. Healthcare, banking (consumer and investment), security, very little of that is in the cloud and they're huge industries controlling hundreds of billions of dollars a year.
