#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.

Interesting article about moving away from the public cloud for once. "Cloud repatriation is the process of reverse-migrating application workloads and data from the public cloud to a private cloud located within an on-premises data center or to a colocation provider"

I have seen quite a few cloud repatriation projects. The reasons were manifold, from costs and control to digital sovereignty and privacy. Yet, it is vital to monitor the changing requirements of these projects.

#SymLink: This episode of the On-Premise IT podcast explores the growing trend of cloud repatriation, where businesses are shifting applications from public clouds to on-premises datacenters to save costs, increase control, and leverage in-house tools like Kubernetes and OpenShift. @GestaltIT @sfoskett #Cloud #CloudRepatriation

Prediction: at least 90% of orgs doing "cloud repatriation" (aka "how hard can it be to run some infrastructure, ffs?") are going to get a nasty shock when they re-discover all the reasons that people moved to cloud in the first place: running infrastructure at even modest scale is absolutely not trivial.

Combine that with re-discovering all the basics of hand-offs, on-call, and other DevOps 101 stuff, it's going to a wild fscking ride 🏇

In my experience, the cloud works well for highly dynamic workloads or when trying to keep hardware out of the balance sheet. The difference between cloud and on-prem is a wash for everything else.

My feature, published today: enterprises are at a crossroads with #cloudcosts. Some choose #cloudrepatriation and others hedge their bets with #multicloud. Either way, they face fresh #distributedcomputing challenges. https://www.techtarget.com/searchitoperations/news/366537339/Cloud-repatriation-vs-multi-cloud-IT-seeks-cost-relief

Public cloud repatriation is a topic often overlooked, but can be necessary when economic realities shift. Many cite the high cost of cloud computing as the reason to move back to more traditional platforms. https://www.infoworld.com/article/3684369/2023-could-be-the-year-of-public-cloud-repatriation.html#tk.rss_all #PublicCloud #CloudComputing #CloudRepatriation
