IDC has warned that the growing trend of cloud repatriation is driven by missed expectations, largely around the growing costs of running workloads in the cloud.
Cloud computing has been heralded as the panacea for modern IT challenges, promising scalability, flexibility, and cost savings. However, as the cloud landscape matures, many organizations are finding that the reality of cloud adoption does not always align with their expectations.
The complexities of cloud environments, coupled with unforeseen external influences, make it challenging to forecast costs accurately. Factors such as the increasing cost of third-party services, energy costs, and the financial implications of new technologies like GenAI are contributing to these budget blowouts.
IDC said the cloud repatriation trend wasn't just about fluctuating costs, but performance and security concerns, too. The cloud isn't necessarily suitable for all workloads, causing concerns with performance and latency.
