“ This transformative trend is marked by the architectural decoupling of various components – separating cloud software functions to enhance interchangeability and adaptability .”
This , Bradshaw explains , is not just altering the day to day jobs of cloud engineers , but also elevating their status within the software development stack . “ AI ’ s automation of routine tasks , traditionally handled by cloud engineers , liberates their time to focus on more intricate and intellectually stimulating functions higher up the stack ,” he says . “ Beyond routine maintenance , engineers can now spend more time focusing on the complexities of designing innovative solutions , optimising performance , and tackling particularly challenging issues .
The synergy between AI and cloud engineering is propelling professionals into a new era of creativity and problem-solving within the evolving cloud landscape .”
Egress costs will become the focus of increasing scrutiny from customers and industry watchers In 2023 , cloud lock-in became a big topic , so much so that the Competitions and Markets Authority in the UK recently launched an investigation into the Cloud infrastructure industry . Bradshaw predicts that we can expect egress costs to become even more of a hot topic in 2024 : with more businesses than ever reliant on fast speeds and low latencies to perform well , high egress costs are increasingly forming a block on innovation .
