Thanks for having me! #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/96aqs

A1 – AI/ML adoption has driven meaningful outcomes and competitive advantages for businesses. There seems to be a general awareness this year that having an AI strategy is no longer optional. #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/16ark

AI: Cloud matters more than ever. Most of the things happening there have nothing to do with AI – i.e., launching businesses, modernizing applications, etc. AI has the spotlight right now, but it’s a small subset of cloud utilization. #eweekchat

A2: AI is big, but app modernization is still bigger. Companies are considering the best venue for their data and the proximity to where it’s processed. Cost is a huge consideration in workload placement, whether exiting a data center or entering/exiting the cloud. #eweekcha

A3: You led the witness – those are the 2 big challenges. As you evaluate workloads through the lens of containing costs, you realize you must use a plurality of public and private cloud environments. Then you face the complexity of managing that infrastructure. #eweekchat

A4a: You need to understand the full anatomy of your applications, including data sets and usage patterns. The public cloud providers want you to believe they can do it all; they’re the “easy” button. That may be true sometimes, but you’ll likely pay a huge premium. #eweekchat

A4b: To be clear, public cloud is a great venue for many use cases. But you must understand what those use cases are. The good news is that there are excellent multicloud management tools available, as well as companies that have paved the way (i.e., 37signals). #eweekchat

A5: Public cloud will be used more selectively, esp. for workloads that are seasonal or have unpredictable usage patterns. Once an app hits a predictable, steady state at scale, it makes sense to move it to a private setting for improved performance/cost efficiency. #eweekchat

A6: Understand the anatomy of your applications, their data sets, and usage patterns. In terms of recalibrating your cloud infrastructure, there are better tools than ever to help you do that, and others have done it before you – there are recipes to follow. #eweekchat

A7: Hundreds of gen AI companies are being born in public cloud. But as these platforms grow, many customers will likely want AI systems interacting w/their sensitive data in a private setting. Cloud was the enabler but may not be the only long-term venue. #eweekchat

A8: Cloud will be used more selectively for more specialized applications, and the cloud companies will deploy in more locations in secondary markets. Cloud will continue to grow, but adoption will be more selective. #eweekchat

A9: As cloud companies continue to invest in manufacturing their own chips and networking infrastructure, competition will become fierce and may put crippling pressure on existing OEM partnerships. #eweekchat

A10: There are more technology options than ever. There used to be only one answer; now there are many. Companies need to work with their partners to evaluate their workloads and venue options and make the right decision. #eweekchat

Thank you James and fellow panelists!! #eweekchat
