@SecurityWriter I think in this dogmatic totality, it's wrong.
There are use cases where the cloud has its value and there are savings you can gain from the cloud. The problem I saw with customers was that they didn't migrate reasonably, they wanted to migrate everything without thinking about the use cases.
Just because it was stated in the CIO magazine or other business papers.
The problem was also the expectation that putting everything in the cloud makes it more secure. It can be more secure, but you have to do something for it.
The effort needed to benefit from the cloud, was not sold by the hyperscalers and not seen by the companies.

@Okuna @SecurityWriter I agree, garbage in garbage out. Cloud will happily let your bad devs and architects create untenable solutions at scale. That’s on the CSPs marketing dept and your gullible execs. Cloud is just another tool, indifferent to the user’s incompetence. I’m more freaked out about the geopolitical implications for data sovereignty.

@stephs @SecurityWriter and rightly so. The geo situation is also what bothers the A**lickers of trump. But then, the customers are locked it. It is only new business which seems to decline. But then, there are so many stupidity CEO/CIO on this planet. I have met several in my career before retiring, most of them need an IT guy to switch on their computer and phone. And they gets lots of pressure from the owners and investors. Stock price goes up if you announce you go to the cloud.
On the other hand we also see that the hyperscalers buy their customers in the sense, that the hyperscaler has to purchase stock in order to get the deal. I am not allowed to share facts here, but billions are moving from the hyperscaler to the customers.
