By David Linthicum The tech industry is buzzing with talk of cloud repatriation, partly due to some articles I have written here. What frustrates me about this industry is the lack of nuance. People make everything seem like drastic shifts. The last example of this was edge computing. Many articles I read claimed that “the shift is to the edge.” That caused a lot of confusion. Reporters, clients, and students all reached out to ask if the cloud was dead since edge computing now seemed like the way to go. Of course, that never came true, nor does any extreme shift that the analyst and tech pres...

El camino hacia la nube no es uno fácil, está lleno de obstáculos y llegar a buen puerto requiere de una estrategia a largo plazo bien pensada. Ese fue el foco de las conversaciones que tuvieron lugar en el Cloud & Infrastructure Forum 2024, organizado por IDC y Foundry con el patrocinio de DE-CIX, que se llevó a cabo el pasado 21 de mayo en Madrid. En él, Miguel Torres, CIO de Prosegur –ganador del premio al proyecto de Infraestructura Digital & Cloud en los CIO 100 Awards Spain 2023-, narró en detalle la odisea de la compañía para migrar su negocio a la nube. Hace cinco años, Prosegur lanzó ...

By David Linthicum According to Forrester’s Infrastructure Cloud Survey in 2023, 79% of about 1,300 enterprise cloud decision-makers surveyed said their organizations are implementing private clouds. Additionally, IDC forecasts that global spending on private, dedicated cloud services, including hosted private clouds, will hit $20.4 billion in 2024 and will at least double by 2027. In addition, global spending on enterprise private cloud infrastructure, including hardware, software, and support services, will be $51.8 billion in 2024 and grow to $66.4 billion in 2027, according to IDC. Of cour...

By Prince Mahajan When we set out to rebuild the engine at the heart of our managed Apache Kafka service, we knew we needed to address several unique requirements that characterize successful cloud-native platforms. These systems must be multi-tenant from the ground up, scale easily to serve thousands of customers, and be managed largely by data-driven software rather than human operators. They should also provide strong isolation and security across customers with unpredictable workloads, in an environment in which engineers can continue to innovate rapidly. We presented our Kafka engine rede...

By David Linthicum As most IT people know, GPUs are in high demand and are critical for running and training generative AI models. The alternative cloud sector, also known as microclouds, is experiencing a significant surge. Businesses such as CoreWeave, Lambda Labs, Voltage Park, and Together AI are at the forefront of this movement. CoreWeave, which started as a cryptocurrency mining venture, has become a major provider of GPU infrastructure. This shift illustrates a broader trend in which companies are increasingly relying on cloud-hosted GPU services, mainly due to the high cost and techni...

By David Linthicum The Big Three cloud providers, AWS, Microsoft, and Google, are going like gangbusters. The most likely reason is two letters: AI. The first quarter of 2024 saw the strongest growth since the third quarter of 2022. Enterprise spending on cloud infrastructure services topped $76 billion during Q1 2024, up by $13.5 billion (a 21% increase) compared with Q1 of 2023. The Big Three cloud providers now account for 67% of global cloud spending. Amazon still retains its lead at 31%, but its share is shrinking compared with Microsoft (25%) and Google (11%), which showed stronger year-...

By David Linthicum As a seasoned advocate and expert in cloud computing and generative AI, I’ve observed the immense transformative potential these technologies offer. Yet, we’re doing things just as stupidly as we did in the early days of cloud computing. If you have not noticed lately, enterprises are running around in circles to fix mistakes they made 10 years ago in migrating and building new cloud-based systems. Repatriation is shorthand for “whoops!” The lack of planning and understanding has led to huge bills that nobody expected, and CIOs are attempting to mitigate. This means instead ...

By David Linthicum Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors have gained significant traction recently. Giving yourself a ranking to prove your worth as a good citizen of the planet seems like a great idea. These tools are worth looking at, but the reality is they may be reporting a false positive. They don’t look at the total inefficiencies of the overall cloud architecture, only at specific tactical metrics that could prove meaningless. Indeed, it provides good scores for enterprises underperforming in sustainability and using public cloud providers. The desire for good ESG credThe...

By David Linthicum Are you a cloud architect, engineer, or neither? The question will get you more blank stares than good explanations due to the confusion around two roles that perform separate but equally important duties. I’ve held both roles. I was a software engineer early in my career, then morphed into an architect, then an executive architect. The trouble is that we tend to conflate both roles these days. The lines between engineering and architecture have blurred. We’re obtaining engineering certifications that say “architect” and architecture certifications that say “engineer.” The f...
