Deep dives
Balancing Simplicity and Emerging Technologies
There is value in designing simple solutions that achieve business outcomes without unnecessary complexity. While emergent technologies can solve great things, adopting them solely because they are emerging or trendy may not align with enterprise needs. Customers are transitioning to a more balanced approach in assessing their public cloud usage to ensure it delivers promised benefits and aligns with their evolving strategies.
Workload-focused Cloud Strategy
Organizations are rethinking their cloud strategies by shifting towards workload-specific considerations. Evaluating each workload's requirements allows for a more intentional approach to leveraging public cloud resources. Rather than a blanket lift-and-shift approach, businesses are optimizing their cloud usage, modernizing their stacks, and focusing on achieving the original benefits sought from their cloud migration.
Encouraging Intentional Technology Adoption
Amidst the excitement for emerging technologies like AI, there is a need for strategic and intentional adoption. Customers are advised to balance innovation with practicality, considering the impact on their workforce and business operations. Emphasizing the importance of an enterprise stack, customers are encouraged to evaluate new technologies based on specific needs, rather than pursuing trends without aligning with their business goals.
Travis Runty discusses the complexity that customers have in deciding when and how to utilize the public cloud. He discusses some of the trends he sees in public cloud adoption and decisions people are making around cloud native technologies.
