The Crawdad Song - Foggy Mountain Boys (1962)
Getting Informed

So, to recap, the setup and poll question was simple:
🤔🔮🗳📊
Imagine taking a poll in the year 2025…
From my newsletter…

Let’s get to work — inventing What’s Next! 🤓
“Inventing the Future” by Dennis Gabor (1964)I heard the duck say to the drake 🎶
Meanwhile, a recent article from Protocol highlighted the importance cost optimization in the pursuit of AI and machine learning by reminding everyone that cloud is an operating model — not a place.4 Indeed, some have argued for disciplined repatriation but, as always, please do the math first.5
At the same time, math should govern most suitable placement decisions. Again, the edge to core to (public) cloud conversation should be data driven throughout the workload lifecycle and across the workload landscape itself.
There ain’t no crawdads in this lake 🎶
Next, expect more use cases6 at the edge in smaller spaces7 and far more places. Effectively, this is how the edge use case is becoming the use case at the edge.
