The cloud reaches its equilibrium point

As such, rather than measuring plans, it’s worth checking on where workloads actually go. According to that same Barclays CIO survey, the answer is cloud.

That’s a lot of cloud movement, but with all that interest in repatriation, it may simply signal that, as Coté posits, we’re due to settle into prolonged equilibrium, with plenty of workloads moving to the cloud but many staying on-premises. Underlying it all may be that enterprises don’t have the right people to refactor applications for the cloud. Or, rather, that the teams that got them where they are may not be the right teams to take them where they need to go. That’s a people problem, as most technology issues are, and change will take decades.

This is why, for most workloads, the answer to whether it goes to the cloud or stays on premises is, “It depends.” That is, it depends on the people involved, and not necessarily the workload itself.
