Cloud computing conference season is here, and the theme is clear. Conferences are not focusing on general cloud computing services, such as storage, compute, security, and databases. Instead, they have become generative AI conferences .
Please don’t get me wrong—I’m all in on generative AI and its ability to be a true force multiplier for many enterprises. Indeed, I’ve been focused on that emerging reality for a long time. However, I’m also a pragmatist, and I understand that concentrating on one area means they are not paying attention to what many are beginning to call “legacy cloud services.”
