The other pervasive topic of conversation, while pulling together this edition, had a distinctly "cloudy" nature. As cloud providers become more capable and reach parity of features, the public cloud model is becoming the new default for many organizations. Instead of asking, "Why in the cloud?", many companies now ask, "Why not in the cloud?" when embarking on new projects. Certainly, some types of software still demand on-premises systems, but as prices drop and capabilities expand, cloud-native development becomes increasingly viable. Even though basic feature parity is a given among the major cloud solution providers, they each also provide unique offerings to differentiate themselves for specific types of solutions. Thus, we see companies taking advantage of several different providers via Polycloud, choosing the specialized capabilities of those platforms that best suit their customers' needs.
