My friend, in my opinion "cloud" is a temporary trend, soon enough whole AWS/Google Cloud will fit into your pocket because of Moore's law and miniaturization of computers. Cloud is a money pomp and it's managed by admins and marketing people mainly, not by real computer scientists which conduct research and draw conclusions from the history.

I can recommend you to watch YouTube videos and watch people like Alan Kay (watch all the videos), Hal Abelson, Jerry Sussman and others pioneers of our industry. You should quickly notice that what we have now is a local maximum of some trends and much much more is waiting to be (re)discovered.

Hint: AWS and K8s are poor attempts to create real Object Oriented system. There will be much more like them in the future, but of a higher quality and based on some real rules, not accidental connections with HTTP messages.

But isn't that slowing down?

Yes, until there is a breakthrough and the game starts overs.
