Over the last decade, public cloud has gone from a fringe use case for startups to a mainstream choice for CIOs worldwide.

So here’s the prediction: there is going to be a lot, and I mean A LOT, of “cloud washing”.

I’ve spent over 20 years of my career in IT reacting to up-and-coming trends that are meant to “radically transform” the way enterprises do business. My experience has taught me that hype exceeds reality. These trends have merit but are more evolutions—not revolutions—in technology.
