“The State of the Cloud Report” has been published for 13 straight years. I’ve read so many of these reports that I’ve seen private cloud usage surge several times amid the broader trend toward multicloud adoption. The latest edition by Flexera provides new data about […]
Fifty-eight percent of people surveyed by Flexera said they are planning to migrate more workloads to the cloud in 2024, up from 44% in 2023.
In 2021, 52% of AWS customers got a discount on AWS reserved instances, now only 36% do. In 2021, 48% of Google Cloud customers negotiated an ad hoc discount; in 2022, only 10%.
The numbers seem too good to be true. The Google Cloud Platform is used by 49% of enterprise respondents surveyed for Flexera’s “2021 State of the Cloud Report,” up from 20% in the 2019 study. The Oracle Infrastructure Cloud similarly skyrocketed from 16% to 32%. However, […]
Organizations looking to add a new piece of cloud infrastructure don’t believe running workloads at the edge is an essential requirement. Nor is running individual applications across multiple clouds (“multicloud”), according to our recent Infrastructure-as-a-Service survey of tech executives.
Misconfiguration of the cloud platform is cited most often as the biggest security threat in public clouds,
People claim that avoiding vendor lock-in drives cloud computing choices but don’t actually use multiple providers.
“Hybrid cloud” has already reached its peak in the hype cycle, with “multicloud” being a more popular term these days. A RightScale survey in February showed that Hybrid Cloud was dropped from 58 percent to 51 percent as the dominant strategy.

Several studies that show large drops in “private cloud” deal with preferences for future cloud development and not the actual percentage of current workloads being managed. Our analysis shows that adoption of private clouds has actually increased.
