Cloud VM benchmarks 2026: performance / price

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.
