It's not a novel problem but it _is_ a relatively novel (bad) economic environment. We've been in "let the good times roll" mode longer than ten years. In comparison to 2009-2011, it was different. Many ops professionals are younger than that and have gone their entire careers without doing anything on premise. I remember trying to convince some very talented but newly minted ops professionals -- my colleagues -- to go on prem for cost. This was last year. They were scared. They didn't know how that would work or what safety guarantees there would be. They had a point, because the org I was at then didn't have any on prem presence, since they were such a young organization that they started in the cloud during "the good times". They always hired younger engineers for cost, so nearly no one in the org even knew how to do on prem infra. Switching then would have been a mistake for that org, even though cloud costs (even with large commit agreements) were north of six figures a month. |
