summary
Argues that cloud migrations fail less for tech than for people, using the Hittite collapse of 1190 BCE as a concrete analogy and insisting on discovery first, expect dual-running costs. Gives numbers: 90%+ enterprises adopt hybrid cloud, 47% use multiple hyperscalers, 75% of data will move to the edge, COBOL still strategic per surveys and ATMs. Covers tools and pivots: containers and Kubernetes, AWS/elastic compute history, and a pragmatic roadmap including seven consulting projects and a typical two years timeline.
