Huh? Almost everyone stores corporate data in the cloud and has for years.

View on HN

Most enterprises still have their core systems either on-premise on in private clouds.

And the trend has been towards standardising on Kubernetes to allow for the hybrid model to work.

So I am the only one stupid enough to have a private cloud? And the biggest and most successful corporations have trusted their intellectual property to Microsoft and Google? Boy, I am living under the rock. It is time to break all the walls. Right?

if it’s not hard for you why change?

if it is, maybe time to reconsider.

Microsoft and Google have thousands of security engineers focused on protecting your data.

Even from you https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/article/2024/may/...

Oh, well in that case, they can access whatever data they'd like!

This would be the same Microsoft that can´t explain to the US State Department how there was a golden key floating around that allowed their email to be hacked?

People make different decisions due to different preferences. There’s no need for melodramatic character judgements here, relax lol. You’re not stupid. People who chose differently aren’t either.

The calculation considers potential financial damage from having a cloud based security issue and most will find that the financial damage * risk < efficiency gains from just using cloud where everything is handled for you and you can just focus on your work.

Uhh, I guess yes? There's a reason that pretty much the entire internet goes down every time AWS has an outage lol.
