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 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 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...

By David Linthicum What we mean by “hybrid cloud” has always needed to be clarified for the cloud industry. Once defined as a private cloud paired with a public cloud, it’s now a catch-all for any system that’s not a public cloud working together with a public cloud. Hybrid clouds have become the battle cry for every enterprise hardware and software company looking to stay relevant. They can’t afford to build a public cloud with billions of buy-in. However, they can sell systems that work with public clouds, a cheap way to modernize your 20-year-old technology. GenAI changes everythingThe inte...
