SHOW NOTES


WHAT IS AND ISN’T CLOUD IN 2026?

  • Cloud isn’t a single company
  • Cloud isn’t just public cloud
  • A CIA cloud isn’t a Gov cloud isn’t your Enterprise Cloud
  • Multi-cloud is a real thing that needs technology
  • Google, the people that invented “cloud” are a real company in cloud
  • Defining cloud by purity, or IaaS/PaaS/SaaS terms doesn’t really matter
  • Does data locality matter more in an AI-Cloud era?
  • Do we begin to see price wars over the core Cloud 1.0 primitives?
  • Are we in the 9th inning of Cloud, and the 1st inning of what’s next? 
  • AI has replaced SaaS in immediacy, so does that have impact on Cloud services? 
  • Does the lack of application portfolio finally come back to bite AWS? 
  • Can niche cloud services emerge (e.g. is Vercel another Digital Ocean, or something unique?)
