#Buzzwords BS in #elreg right now: "Cloud spending hit $50bn in Q4 2021 as business recovers". Read as: many things got reclassified as #clowncomputing to fake growth and project optimism about "the future" (of the buzzwords).

#clowncomputing or #outsourcing with hype is NOT a positive direction for hacker-friendly #arduino ... and this one sort of condones #listeningDevices connected to the #pentagon ("Alexa") https://blog.arduino.cc/2022/02/01/a-new-way-to-connect-with-arduino-cloud/

So-called #clowncomputing companies now jack up their prices, AGAIN, using "price of energy" as a ruse; of course companies that actually own and control their servers know the real cost isn't power bills but salaries for sysadmins, hardware maintenance etc. When you outsource ("the clown") you will, over time, get ripped off.

Using Cloud for Live Production

While on-prem systems are still central to production, the cloud provides superior flexibility

Why today's cloud is built on containers

Containers are the default way of packaging software in the cloud. Amazon Web Services (AWS) executive Deepak Singh shares insights for IT leaders on smoothly running containers with its service and ecosystem partners.
