WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST LEADING OFF THE SHOW - AFTER 13 YEARS

WHAT PARTS OF THE CLOUD EVOLUTION HAVE LAID THE FOUNDATION FOR TODAY?

  1. [BAD] Shadow IT set Enterprise IT back 5-10 years, with the same responsibilities
  2. [GOOD] Technology experimentation has become the norm, from technologists to business leaders.
  3. [BAD] We still don’t really know how to measure the cost or return (ROI) of technology spending.
  4. [GOOD] We have a new appreciation for the power of software and software development to change businesses and markets.
  5. [BAD] But we still haven’t figured how to normalize great software development
  6. [GOOD] Open source communities (e.g. CNCF, etc.) provided a blueprint for bringing new innovation to the marketplace
  7. [BAD] We saw how long it took for Cloud to be disruptive, but now that valuations are so high, we haven’t learned patience for new disruptions.
  8. [GOOD] The “cloud” way of doing things has laid the foundation for what might/will come next.
