> First, companies are switching from public hyper-clouds, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, and Google Cloud, to private clouds. who? > Michael Dell, Dell CEO, quoted Barclay's CIO Survey 2024: "83% of enterprises plan to move workloads back to private cloud from public cloud." ...and then later realize they don't have the time, skill, or money, and even if they did, its just commodity infrastructure and no longer a value proposition for the company any more than their office space or janitorial service > Another reason companies are shifting to OpenStack again, who???? these articles continue to just be wishful thinking. most people who have dealt with openstack in the last decade have likely been on a deprovisioning project. I've personally witnessed it purged from two tech companies because the ops people were low-skill button-pushers who couldn't and wouldn't deal with its complexity, so ultimately the companies just threw in the towel maybe 5% of ops people I deal with have the experience and skills to build infra from the data center rack up to something useful. ops in general has been subject to a major skills decline in the last decade or so, AWS is in absolutely no danger ask your ops team how many of them have ever set foot in a data center. fifteen years ago, probably 50%. now? around 0%
