D2DO271: Public Vs. Private Cloud In 2025
Day Two DevOps
Ned Bellavance and I on Day Two DevOps host brilliant and effusive engineers who share their lessons learned from large, impactful projects. Come soak up all the hard lessons they learned through building big stuff (and sometimes destroying big stuff), all for the low low cost of totally free.
Summary
The shine has been coming off public cloud for awhile. Cloud costs remain high, complexity is growing, and public cloud interoperability is difficult. And while there’s talk about moving back to private cloud, that migration presents its own costs and complexities.
To help us navigate the challenge that is cloud in 2025, we welcome Mark Boost, Founder and CEO of Civo, a cloud-native service provider. We talk about why public cloud never seems to get any cheaper, interoperability and migration challenges, and the Open Cloud Coalition, an advocacy group that promotes openness and competition in the cloud industry.
