What happens when the cloud blows up? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve covered cloud computing for a long time, and one of the most persistent myths I encounter is that public clouds exist above the laws of physics that govern everything else in technology. The events coming out of the Middle East should put that myth to rest for good. Reuters reported this week that Amazon Web Services says it cannot restore access to its cloud region in Bahrain and to one of its three data-hosting zones in the United Arab Emirates, following damage during the Iran war. The s
IBM’s big cloud decision (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A recent piece in Academy of Management Today by Daniel Butcher takes a fresh look at IBM’s pivot to cloud computing, and it’s worth your time. The article walks through IBM’s early exploration of cloud technology in the mid-1990s when competitors like General Magic and Compaq began building business plans around the newly coined term. IBM assigned personnel with experience in enterprise IT services to specialize in cloud-based solutions. Those efforts culminated in 2007 with the official launch
The EU cloud sovereignty trap (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The European Union is once again legislating sovereignty with its proposed Cloud and AI Development Act, or CADA. The legislation would establish a four-level sovereignty framework for cloud services used by EU institutions and public-sector organizations, with the most sensitive workloads (defense, national security, justice, and law enforcement) required to run on services at the higher assurance levels. The thinking is straightforward: With AWS, Microsoft, and Google controlling roughly 70% o
The cloud outage that should terrify the CIO (opens the original)
Read excerpt
September 3 started like any other Thursday, until it didn’t. Within roughly 90 minutes, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and even Microsoft’s own Copilot were degraded or dark, knocked sideways by a failure in Microsoft Azure’s East US region. Downdetector logged more than 37,000 reports for ChatGPT alone, more than 1,300 for Claude, and roughly 1,365 for Grok. OpenAI’s status page flagged elevated errors across 15 ChatGPT components and four Codex components, and by the time engineers had mitigations in
The complicated AI infrastructure market (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a quiet war happening underneath the AI boom, and most people are not paying attention to the right front. While headlines focus on which model is winning, which startup is raising money, or which chatbot is gaining users, a parallel race is playing out in data centers and corporate boardrooms across the world. The race is for AI infrastructure: the GPU clusters, power contracts, cooling systems, networking fabric, orchestration tools, and inference services that make modern AI actually
