On developers: Besides its cloud leadership generally, what's AWS's value proposition to developers? And to take a step back, who are the most important developers?
AWS provides lot of value to developers.. AWS is better PaaS for developers to use their services and develop applications/services w/ fast TTM and enterprise quality
unless the vendors are in for the long haul, threats are not imminent. There is still enough FUD about public clouds to fuel on-prem consumption. It is declining, but won't go away entirely.
AWS cloud competitors are all touting and claiming massive cloud growth. Is it really cloud growth or just other legacy products bundled with cloud? How do customers know what "real" cloud is?
depends on your definition of cloud. #AWS tells you massive scale w/ elasticity is cloud. CIO, VP, & Company Directors tell you its just the ability to not run on-prem.
The revenue should be defined as Cloud+SaaS; for example, Microsoft is claiming SaaS apps (Office 365, Exchange 365 etc) revenue in Cloud business; And Google is including SaaS apps/docs revenue in GCP; \
there is multiple clouds developing #SaaS clouds like from ISVs and companies like Oracle so this is an interesting question to flesh out. Is there a thing as a "single cloud"
How will #AWS take its early lead in serverless (with Lambda) into broader usage? There are a growing number of open source options for serverless which would be attractive to developers which are the most relevant?
I did a #CTODailyDose on this topic. to @yaronhaviv point. Open Source solutions address FaaS but not Serverless. Big debate in the CNCF Serverless working group as to what's Serverless.
Leaves opportunity for multi-cloud solutions. I don't believe AWS has won Serverless. Far from it. CF isn't FaaS but it is serverless when operated by someone else.
The CDO experiment starts to wind down. CIOs take over in charge of data and start to focus on data value, which bolsters their standing -- again. True or False? Comment. Is the CDO fade over?
The industry struggles to distribute authority in systems. Concerns about systems of agency actually emerge as an issue in the 2018 election. True or False? Comment
Enterprises start taking specific steps to reduce their investment in legacy maintenance, which today is 35%+ of spending. By 2027, today’s legacy will capture less than 15% of total spending. True or False? Comment
False for S/W. Legacy will just morph from on-prem code to stringing services together code. % doesn't change, just will be able to do more with the 35%.
#ML based ITOM will grow exponentially. It’s one of the first horizontal packaged apps for ML. And customers will recognize it as “training wheels” for future IoT applications. True or False? Comment
IoT will go sideways in 2018: Too expensive, OT & IT issues, waiting for volume solutions from new vendors, and IoT volume vendors will use low-cost infrastructure. True or False. Comment
