Renowned cloud strategist and author David Linthicum unpacks the evolution of enterprise cloud strategy—from the rush into public cloud, to today’s growing trend of cloud repatriation and portfolio rebalancing, sharing candid insights on why so many enterprises are hitting the reset button, the hidden costs of herd mentality, and the complex realities of a hybrid, multi-cloud world.

Vinay and David’s conversation highlights a maturing perspective on digital infrastructure: while public clouds remain powerful tools for agility and scale, a one-size-fits-all mentality is out. True success means customized, data-driven strategies that balance innovation, efficiency, and sovereignty.
