Cloud repatriation, the trend of moving workloads from public cloud back to on-premises infrastructure, is gaining traction, with a significant 71% of companies considering this shift. This trend is largely driven by increasing cloud costs and unforeseen financial intricacies. However, the movement often misreads the reasons behind cloud investment failures—primarily due to the interpretation of cloud technology through the lens of traditional IT practices. To truly harness the potential of cloud, organizations must adopt cloud-native approaches and partner with Managed Service Providers (MSPs) that are proficient in modern cloud strategies, rather than outdated ones.
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) critically shape cloud success. However, many MSPs remain trapped in traditional IT practices. They're accustomed to managing servers, patching security vulnerabilities, and performing routine infrastructure maintenance. Cloud-native operations, like serverless computing, container orchestration, and infrastructure automation, demand entirely different skillsets.
This shift fundamentally misinterprets why cloud investments fail. It’s rather how we've failed to understand cloud for what it is, and how treating it like bare metal servers has held back innovation.
