Just seems like companies are making short sighted choices for cost reduction over thinking about the potential long-term repercussions for putting their intellectual property and untimely their fates, in the hands of third party.
Welcome to late stage capitalism baby! It’ll only be a short stay though because these assholes are going to implode the planet looking for their next quick buck.
I swear sometimes it feels like capitalism is the boogeyman behind everything with some people.
This has nothing to do with late stage capitalism and everything to do with how cheap compute is becoming. Fact is that it’s just much more convenient to have everything in a managed cloud. You don’t need to manage your own servers, take care of maintenance, upgrades, etc. This removes a fuckton of overhead from your organization.
I’ve been part of on prem to cloud transitions at 3 different companies, and I saw the benefits firsthand. You can replace entire departments, and the contract your signing means you’re protected against pretty much any fuckup from the provider’s side.
Not to mention, I guarantee Microsoft’s cloud is more secure than 99.9% of the server rooms it replaced.
