No, not HN echo chamber. 83% of CIOs want to move workloads back to on-prem or private cloud. https://x.com/michaeldell/status/1780672823167742135?s=46&t=BBEvy

  I would take that with a giant tub of salt: 1. As the saying goes, talk is cheap. It's one thing to ask "What do you plan to do?" vs. what you actually do. Look at revenue graphs for AWS, Azure and GCP over the past 5-10 years, right up until the end of 2023. They are definitely not shrinking. 2. I'd be more than a bit skeptical of the messenger, given that Dell obviously has a vested interest in telling people they need to buy more servers. 3. Even if you take what the surveyed CIOs say at face value, asking "Are you planning to move some workloads back to private cloud/on-prem from public cloud" is totally consistent with what I said. There was rush of "just put everything on the cloud" without thinking through it strategically. But just because you're pulling back on a few ill-thought-out cloud projects doesn't mean that overall industry-wide public cloud investment isn't still skyrocketing.
