#cloudrepatriation — Public Fediverse posts

Situations where cloud renting is cost effective for medium or large companies are vanishingly rare, and always have been. As with so many big tech patterns, this is a myth held up by VC-backed startups and incentives.

Rob Hirschfeld and I had a fascinating conversation during #KubeCon about self-hosted and #baremetal infrastructure, which has become a hot topic amid predictions that enterprises will move #AIinference to self-hosted machines. But Rob, who's had a front-row seat to these conversations for more than a decade as CEO and co-founder of RackN told me that #AI is not yet the biggest factor in #cloudrepatriation. And there's a lot that enterprises don't know about the details of moving back to self-hosted infrastructure from #publiccloud and back to bare metal from #VMware.

Rob was kind enough to repeat himself during this interview for the #ITOps Query #vodcast, just published today. I think my audience will find the discussion as fascinating as I did.
