The unexpected next stage of the cloud revolution
summary
Claims that 50% of IT workloads in cloud by 2021 (split ~30% public, 20% private; within public ~14% SaaS, 16% IaaS) reshape strategy: prioritize hybrid cloud, move applications to cloud-first, then infrastructure and platform, and bake in network and data security rather than bolt it on. Cites Cloud Foundry, Office 365, AWS/Azure/Google Cloud as paths, argues waterfall and bimodal IT are dead in favor of agile, urges “fail forward” culture and notes a concrete outcome: vCloud Air divested after capital-intensive attempt.
