Q1: In the last 6 months, have you seen hybrid cloud strategies accelerating or decelerating?
Chris Dagdigian
accelerating for sure but at varying rates and directions
Stuart Miniman
absolutely accelerating - hybrid and multi #cloud is top of mind. Most companies are building the strategy - like any good strategy, it needs to be a bit flexible at this point in industry maturity.
Andrew Miller
Absolutely accelerating - literally heard yesterday that "Cloud Only isn't viable but Cloud First is very important".
jeff dinisco
clearly accelerating, driven to some extent by integration with on prem appliances/systems
John Furrier
Hybrid is more of a reality then ever as the #multicloud value is being touted
John Furrier
I think multicloud is a future but not in sight yet in terms of workloads moving across clouds so hybrid is stepping stone to this vision
Andrew Miller
Hybrid cloud (when done right) is moving out of "Pollyanna" mode into actually delivering the previously impossible combo of more flexibility at lower cost.
Stephen Pao
On our side, we're definitely seeing interest from different directions. Both from those that were all on-premises and from that those that think of themselves as "cloud first."
John Furrier
On Premise cloud or True Private Cloud is the action we are seeing at @theCUBE events as a conversation among architects
Andrew Miller
I will say we're starting to see the beginnings of multi cloud for some customers...more than none but still just the beginnings.
Stuart Miniman
moving workloads is a separate issue. my current definition is that hybrid means both on-premises (or hosted) and public cloud. Multi-cloud means multiples of the options incl AWS/Azure/GCP
Stephen Pao
A key element to this remains data created at the "edge" forcing some on-premises footprint, yet desiring cloud native applications.
Andrew Miller
there's also increased realism among enterprises execs about how possible refactoring applications is and in what timeframes (let's talk Cobol for instance)
Chris Dagdigian
hype curve still disgusting. We also see orgs getting destroyed by C-level execs who shout "cloud first!" without being able to do math or due diligence upfront
John Furrier
gr8 point @steve_pao #iot edge will be driving more data thus more clou
jeff dinisco
we're seeing the cloud and on-prem division split by app more often than apps that are able to burst into cloud which is where most want to be
Andrew Miller
@dinisco Yes - becomes an app by app selection and/or analysis. Tedious but the only way to practically do it given the practical reality of "lift and shift" success rates.
Stephen Pao
@chris_dag Agree with the "cloud first" push from C-level execs often skipping the analysis of data origins or usage patterns.

Decelerating - rather I've seen momentum toward cloud vendors in addition to AWS, particularly Azure
