Generative AI may displace traditional cloud development
With the explosion of interest (and money) in generative AI, what will be left for traditional cloud service development and enhancement that companies need?
Impact of Generative AI on Traditional Cloud Services
The surge in interest and investment in generative AI is leading to a potential shift in focus away from traditional cloud services. Companies are directing more resources towards generative AI, which may result in slower evolution and improvement of legacy cloud services that many enterprises still rely on.
Challenges for Companies Not Fully Embracing Generative AI
Companies that are still working on optimizing their existing cloud systems may find themselves at a disadvantage if their cloud providers prioritize generative AI over traditional services. This could lead to a lack of support and innovation in the areas they depend on, making it crucial for these companies to voice their concerns to their providers.
Strategies for Addressing Cloud Provider Focus
Companies can take an active role by communicating with their cloud providers about any lagging support or innovation they observe. By becoming vocal about their needs, they can encourage providers to redirect resources back to traditional cloud services, ensuring that their foundational systems continue to receive the necessary attention.
