The Broken Cloud Services Model
The podcast discusses the inherent flaws in the current cloud services model, which is plagued by escalating costs, frequent outages, and over-reliance on a few dominant vendors. These issues create significant risks for enterprises dependent on cloud solutions. Sovereign DBaaS emerges as a potential solution, offering businesses the flexibility to deploy and manage databases across public, private, or hybrid environments without the risk of vendor lock-in. This approach allows IT teams to benefit from the orchestration capabilities typical of traditional DBaaS while maintaining workload portability.
