The Cloud Wars are Over
Transcript
[Music] hey how's it going - Keith towns are from the CTO visor comm we're gonna talk private cloud public cloud hybrid cloud the cloud wars AWS is getting 300 million dollars and then over the next few years from lift that works out to be about 14 cent per ride I saw some analysis Andy Jesse was interviewed by CNBC and he said that AWS is that 30 billion dollar run great business that puts it ahead of easily VMware I don't know where it puts it when when
it comes to HP and Dell EMC but obviously a huge huge business even with that said I'm firm in a clown in the camp that private cloud versus public cloud the argument is over hybrid cloud has won this is a time that we're reflecting back on 2014 where OpenStack was at the hype at the top of his hype cycle I infamously evidently had a video on which I said OpenStack was not Enterprise ready meaning the enterprise would never get to a point where they could consume
OpenStack I can say safely say we're at that OpenStack is safely entrenched in telcos private cloud public cloud providers so it's definitely found the niche but it never became the VMware killer that they thought it would be or even the big competitor the AWS AWS has been a train that hasn't been stopped but what we have learned since then whether it's via kubernetes VMware with their automation stack Microsoft Azure stack that the enterprise has a unabated appetite for hybrid cloud they want the best they want
to build cloud native applications in Azure they want to build lambda based functions on AWS however they still want to run s ap if you're still running exchange Oracle Apps application servers that don't have in this DISA t4 going up and down they still want to run that on traditional infrastructure it makes very little financial sense to move a static workload to ec2 or GCP if it's not a cloud native workload it just really doesn't work well and then there's the edge even with 5g your
autonomous vehicle serves you no purpose with 5g if you're out in a rural area that doesn't have 5g coverage there's going to be a need for high-end compute at the edge we look at the I keep using the example of chick-fil-a and how they deployed 2000 until nukes out at the edge of their network and where clout just doesn't reach so hybrid is one there that I don't think there is a debate maybe for brand-new companies that need low entry into compute like lyft did there
makes you know it makes a lot of sense to go all in all in on cloud but for 95% of the businesses out there hybrid cloud is kind of the way of life you can agree disagree I would love to hear your comments prove me wrong you can follow me once where they have this conversation at CTO advisor on Twitter you can subscribe to the YouTube channel have the conversation in the YouTube channel or as I always do posters on LinkedIn and you can comment only
10:00 until the next CTO dose you can find me on the web the CTO advisor com
