A1: In @tidelift’s corner of enterprise, it was absolutely security, and particularly secure supply chain and how that interacts with open source. After we all spent last holidays dealing with log4j, 2022 was about our longer-term solutions to that.

A1. #Manufacturers are changing how they work with a more distributed, location-agnostic approach to production so they can make better products in nimbler, smaller, and more #sustainable factories. #eWEEKChat @brightmachines

IT teams had to improve efficiencies due to shrinking budgets, more devices, & difficulty hiring skilled personnel, so automation drove conversations. Anything from SD-WAN & orchestration tools to user experience visibility using #AI / ML were top of mind

A1. Recency bias requires that we mention ChatGPT. I think this is the first time that AI has made me feel uncomfortable, like if I was the protagonist in a movie the audience would be begging me to shut it down before it inevitably destroys mankind.

A1: In 2022 the world was flabergasted by Generative AI. We all saw the headlines about DALL-E and ChatGPT; we all saw astounding examples of what these AIs could do; and some of us even tried them out for ourselves. The technology is now here and readily available. #eWEEKChat

A1 The continued march of AI and ML, now entering mainstream awareness. DALL-E 2 and now ChatGPT are mind-blowing for regular citizens. How many of us our using ChatGPT to power our answers today? (j/k ChatGPT doesn't want to make such predictions...yet)

A1: A lot happened in 2022, but to me the affirmation of the Metaverse as an inevitable future reality stood out. That said, like most great technologies, success is often a matter of timing. So it’s no longer an “if” but “when”...

A1: AI tools for generating art really came into their own this year. While we first got to see picture and prose tools in prior years, this year they became widely available and far more capable. Pandora’s Box is now officially open.

A1: I think the major tech trend that has shaped most this year is the concept of doing more with less. In 2021 we were in growth mode and the mentality was spend and hire. 2022 has been all about being more efficient and getting more done with fewer resources.

A1. “Lift and shift” often didn’t work as planned. A lot of companies moved to the cloud on the premise that costs would be lower. But it turns out that doing the same exact thing from a different location doesn’t always have the tangible benefits you had hoped.

A1: (1/2) For us at @Sisense, the shift towards using data to drive user experiences in software (and away from trying to teach everyone to use specialized data tools)
Predictive analytics are making a big impact in business now, and the demand #eweekchat

@mizago The metaverse still seems distant to me. The jury is still out if this is an "if". I certainly appreciated in-person interactions much more this year after 2 years of Covid lockdown.

@RobertBlumofe ChatGPT kinda changes everything. Just, wow!

A1: 2022 was the year of post-quantum cryptography (PQC). Quantum computers will soon defeat nearly all the encryption used by our systems and networks today. 2022 was a landmark year in developing our response to that looming threat.

A1: (2/2) to incorporate them into every aspect of work has virtually every ISV building products with data insights wired directly into end user experiences. #eweekchat

A1: Evolution of #AIOps. It is now a living breathing reality with applied intelligence to risk and performance management

Learn to Code might be replaced by Learn to Prompt.

A1: #DataOps has really evolved over the past year and has become one of the most effective ways to manage and integrate organizational data so that enterprises can adjust, respond, predict and act autonomously. ChatGPT also holds a ton of promise.

A1: The Open Source SaaS market has shifted towards open source managed services. As data and analytics workloads proliferate in the public cloud accounts, and as IT departments demand more control of their own data and applications, we’ll see even more adoption.

@Mizago - What are the practical uses of the Metaverse you looking into?

@rjworobel It wasn't up until this year? Just curious.

Outside of gaming, I'd love to see good use cases for metaverse.

@petermattis - You could argue we're technically already in the metaverse in this forum ;)

@mizago good point!

A1. Public cloud is great, but it is more expensive than people thought and also not quite as simple. #hybridcloud

@dscottcastle Same at @hpe its all about using data more efficiently

@mizago Meta will be very disappointed if this is the metaverse.

@crosby_justine along those lines, it seems that just about every company has normalized a more distributed, location agnostic approach to their business. The Pandemic has largely been contained, but work is still remote

it was certainly up, but it leap frogged into mainstream in 2022

@petermattis LOL! True....

It really does. Not entirely for the better.

@Benaroni as a @Cloudera employee, i whole heartedly second this point of view

@petermattis 😆

@RobertBlumofe One consequence is the defeat of traditionally trusted media like video and voice. You can now receive a phone call that sounds like someone you know and can't trust it's real. You can see a video and cannot trust it is real. This change will be hugely impactful.

A1: The big data scale through machine learning to train AI software with disruptive use cases.

@TimCallan Exactly. Nasty Phishing lures of all sorts. Not just email.
