Episode notes
Cloud 1.0 Made Big Gains But Left Gaps
- Cloud 1.0 hit many goals like API-driven infra, global reach, and faster delivery but left gaps in granularity and simplicity.
- Aaron Delp sees cloud as transformative but believes significant capabilities remain unrealized.

- Serverless promised invisible infrastructure and fine-grained billing but hit practical limits that slowed adoption.
- Aaron Delp thinks Cloud 2.0 could revive serverless in a broader, more capable form.

- Extending public cloud into on-prem or mobile environments showed promise but failed on service parity and autonomy.
- Aaron Delp expects renewed interest as sovereignty and edge needs grow.
