Resistance is futile! Cloud services provide a utility service – like electricity. Unless you are doing something on very specialized hardware, the cloud services provide better services cheaper than the Enterprise can do themselves – any more than they would generate their own electricity at scale. The hardware and systems chosen at an infrastructure level do not differentiate how well an enterprise performs – there is no “value add” there. An Enterprise’s bottom line isn’t improved because of them running their own hardware and building their own underutilized datacenters. The Enterprises’ differentiation is in their applications and business model. As time goes on, the remaining “generic” stuff will be migrated to the cloud.

Do you think this is how small farmers feel about Driscol and other “hyper-farmers?”

It’d sure be sad to see on-prem operations stepchild-ed, Hansel and Gretel-style, to some deep-moated gingerbread outfit in the woods that turns out to be a dungeon-kitchen run by a cannibalistic witch IMHO. In these wicked times of GPU famine, there can’t be rest for the weary and hungry (I think)! 8^b
