Renato Losio ( @renato ) joined the #InfoQ #podcast to drop some truth bombs on the state of #CloudComputing & #DevOps:

1️⃣ Teams that survived recent cloud outages weren’t “multi-region masters” - they mostly got lucky.

2️⃣ Big cloud providers aren’t just using open-source software anymore - they’re forking it and taking over the ecosystem (see: Valkey).

3️⃣ Is tech really going green? “Sustainability” is often just a polite proxy for cost cutting. We’re not chasing lower CO₂ - we’re chasing a lower invoice.

4️⃣ There’s a widening gap between what practitioners need and what big tech delivers. Renato predicts 80% of today’s AI “features” will be deprecated & forgotten by 2026.

While I think that the cloud providers are pushing a toxic behavior where there is no contribution to the products they’re selling as a “managed service”, I think Redis is using this situation as a excuse to change their license to a proprietary one.

If you are choosing to release your software with a permissive license, like the BSD, you are telling that is fine for you that your software can be used even in a third party proprietary solution.
Whining that someone ACTUALLY did that and made profits greater than yours is just hypocritical.

"Sozzi is fair, pointing out that this bubble feels different from the #cannabis and #crypto crazes; among other things, #chipmakers and #cloudproviders are reporting big high-margin revenues for real actual products. But he hammers the central point: What we’re seeing is FOMO-driven dumb money thrown at technology by people who have no hope of understanding it."

"Beyond #AI & #chips, the #cloudcomputing industry comes to mind as a key—yet often overlooked—player.
…multiple software companies, including #Uber and #Zoom, have publicly mentioned that they would not be able to function without their #cloudproviders.
Likewise, #privacy preserving technologies touted as solutions to invasive corporate surveillance often requires computational and connectivity resources owned by companies known for invasive #corporatesurveillance."

This paper finds a range of factors mentioned in the literature that influence #AI adoption in public administration. Including those to do with:
- IT assets
- IT capabilities
- Perceived benefits
- Organisational culture
- Leadership
- Inertia
- pressures from internal and external organisations and institutions

A skim of the abstracts of the most hopeful citations does not indicate that cloud is a particular consideration for any of these studies

So is #cloud hosting of AI still rare in the #publicsector, or is it simply under the radar?

#CloudProviders #Hyperscalers #BigTech

I'm developing my topics for this term's assignments and am currently considering issues around #technology, specially #AI, #development outside of #BigTech based on my own experience developing #MachineLearning in the #PublicSector

I don't have a great deal of reach on this platform (or anywhere) so would appreciate any boosting or discussion of experiences and observations

I'll add to this thread with the various topics I'm looking at

#CloudProviders #IntellectualMonopoly #DigitalEconomy #Economics #Policy

#Ofcom has asked #CMA to investigate #Microsoft and #Amazon’s dominance of #cloud computing

It's great that Competitions and Markets Authority will look at this

I also wonder about the breadth of the problem of #lockin

What else is happening when organisations are locked-in?

For instance, when #Research, #dev staff have to use the cloud provider's tools without technical support or when that support turns out to be a sales pitch.

I'm seeing #burnout, I've experienced #burnout. How widespread is this in organisations using #CloudProviders?

My advice for any organization running workloads in the public cloud:

1️⃣ Invest in employee training - The knowledge gap is a real threat to organizations

2️⃣ Always question your existing architectures - Ask yourself - is there a better way to run my applications?

3️⃣ Follow the well-architected framework best practices
