The End of Cloud-First?
Cloud computing has long been heralded as the default path for enterprise IT, with public cloud vendors promising limitless scalability and transformational efficiencies. However, recent data reveals a significant shift in this narrative: cloud spending is leveling off, and in some sectors, it may even be declining. Organizations are becoming more strategic in their technology investments, moving away from a “cloud-first” mandate and instead toward a value-driven mix of public cloud, private infrastructure, and alternative providers. Several factors drive this change, most notably the rising total cost of ownership for many workloads in public clouds, paired with the...

Your Cloud Architecture is a Monolith in Disguise
Cloud computing has become the backbone of modern software development, with promises of increased scalability, resilience, and agility. Organizations are rapidly migrating workloads and re-architecting systems using microservices, containers, and managed services, convinced these steps will eliminate the rigidity and risks of traditional monolithic applications. However, beneath the surface, many cloud architectures fall into subtle traps, unwittingly recreating the same monolithic patterns they sought to escape—resulting in architectures that are "monoliths in disguise."

Broken Promises in the Cloud: The Groups That Ruined Their Credibility
Over the past two decades, certain players in cloud computing have lost credibility by putting their interests ahead of real client value. Big consulting firms boasted vendor awards like “Partner of the Year,” but were often rewarded more for selling providers' technology than delivering the best solutions to clients. Many took finder’s fees or other monetary incentives, steering enterprises into expensive, overengineered platforms optimized for quota, not business outcomes. Public cloud providers also share blame, promising radical cost savings and agility while hiding the complexity, hidden fees, and risk of vendor lock-in, leaving businesses with spiraling costs and inflex...

Five Hard Truths Discovered from My Long Cloud Career
Cloud computing is full of uncomfortable realities that most organizations ignore at their peril. Optimization tools, often touted as the answer to spiraling costs, are typically engineered to miss the most expensive inefficiencies—providers have little incentive to help you truly cut spend. Enterprise contracts and customized SLAs offer a false sense of protection; when crises hit, businesses often find they have little real leverage and are ultimately responsible for building their own resilience. The much-hyped “cloud transformations” in most enterprises are superficial—legacy applications are simply rehosted instead of truly reengineered, creating expensive technical debt rather than del...

Agentic AI Platforms EXPOSED: Hyperscalers vs. Alternatives!
Agentic AI applications are built with various platforms based on specific requirements including scalability, latency, security, and cost-efficiency. Hyperscalers are ideal for dynamic, global agentic AI systems but incur high operational costs. Private Clouds and Sovereign Clouds provide secure environments suitable for compliance-heavy applications at moderate costs. Co-location providers are cost-effective for predictable workloads, while Edge Computing Servers support latency-critical applications like IoT and autonomous vehicles. GPU Clouds ensure optimal performance for computationally intensive tasks, though they are expensive in the long run. The right platform selection depends on workload characteristics and long-term cost considerations.

Your Multicloud Strategy Is Wrong
Successful multicloud deployment isn’t about adopting multiple clouds—it’s about using them strategically while addressing hidden challenges. Most enterprises underestimate data gravity costs, integration complexities, and governance differences across providers. Security protocols, automation, and FinOps also require cloud-specific approaches, and network costs can quickly spiral without proper planning. The reality? Multicloud often costs 2x the budget and takes far longer than expected. Success demands clear business objectives, independent cloud expertise, and a focus on loose coupling between platforms.

How Public Cloud Providers Are Fumbling the AI Opportunity
The rapid growth of AI workloads presents both an opportunity and challenge for public cloud providers. While the overall cloud market is projected to reach $2 trillion by 2030, with AI driving significant growth, cost considerations may limit cloud providers' ability to capture this opportunity. Infrastructure costs for AI workloads, particularly those requiring specialized GPU resources, are substantially higher in public clouds compared to traditional data centers and colocation facilities. This cost differential is especially pronounced for inference workloads, which could represent up to 90% of AI compute by 2030 and can be up to 75% cheaper when run on-premises.

4 Things the Cloud Industry Got Wrong, and I Got Right
There are many more than 4 things that have been proven to be wrong. • Industry pushback against me. 1. The cloud’s primary benefit is CapEx vs. OpEx. It was never about CapEx vs. OpEx. 2. The cloud is always cheaper than on-premises. The cloud is most often not cheaper than on-premises options. 3. All applications and data sets will eventually be in “the cloud.” Not all applications and data sets will move to the “cloud.” 4. The cloud drives more simplicity. Using the cloud drives more complexity, leading to higher operational costs.
