For millions of butchers, bakers, and candlestick makers out there, life is still (and will always remain) about pork chops, muffins, and wicks, and computers are that thing in the back that we use to take orders, distribute coupons, and do the books. (So paradoxically, smaller traditional business will move to the cloud fairly easily: whenever they have to replace what they've been using, they'll look around, see a cloud application that is cheaper than dedicated on-site servers/software, and migrate because it's cheap -- if it's easy. And the cloud is getting so much easier every day).

As he said, everyone is now being asked, what is your cloud strategy? I do think there are some concerns though - about security, about migrating legacy systems and there's always some lethargy as well, for organizations to learn new systems and platforms. There's a bit of a step function for some organizations as they virtualize behind the firewall, i.e., private cloud, then go hybrid as an on-ramp to full public cloud adoption. But then there are others who can't wait to push everything out on to the cloud. Ultimately I suspect it's to do with the temperament and philiosophy of the IT team as much as it is business needs and legacy systems and technology.

I remember it wasn't so long ago there was a lot of skepticism how cloud implementations would really work long-term. Those questions have disappeared.
