> First, companies are switching from public hyper-clouds, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, and Google Cloud, to private clouds.<p>who?<p>> Michael Dell, Dell CEO, quoted Barclay's CIO Survey 2024: "83% of enterprises plan to move workloads back to private cloud from public cloud."<p>...and then later realize they don't have the time, skill, or money, and even if they did, its just commodity infrastructure and no longer a value proposition for the company any more than their office space or janitorial service<p>> Another reason companies are shifting to OpenStack<p>again, who????<p>these articles continue to just be wishful thinking. most people who have dealt with openstack in the last decade have likely been on a deprovisioning project. I've personally witnessed it purged from two tech companies because the ops people were low-skill button-pushers who couldn't and wouldn't deal with its complexity, so ultimately the companies just threw in the towel<p>maybe 5% of ops people I deal with have the experience and skills to build infra from the data center rack up to something useful. ops in general has been subject to a major skills decline in the last decade or so, AWS is in absolutely no danger<p>ask your ops team how many of them have ever set foot in a data center. fifteen years ago, probably 50%. now? around 0%
