There were lots of announcements this week of cool new features, AI enhancements, performance improvements, and much more. That was a lot to digest, so I thought I’d bring attention to some of my favorites. Not mine, his. But you get the idea?

Primary constructors is one of the new exciting features for C# 12.
However, there have been concerns from developers about whether to use them. Secondary constructors still considered acceptable

According to Gartner, the next wave of cloud computing will see even more complicated workloads migrated over, plus new options and requirements for cloud customers. +/- 70%, 17 times out of 23

This article is pure clickbait. Clicking on the link, it took me to Cloud News or something. I'm sure Gartner got some $$ for the self-serving article.
Both of my primary customers started migrating to the cloud years ago. The first one has given up. They are now deploying appropriately spec'd generic servers and creating VMWare virtual machines as needed. They are doing this at the big sites of the corp.
The second customer has gone insane with security. They are moving to the "cloud" - Wipro - and to be honest, it's a complete abortion. Maybe that's a little harsh on Wipro. Most of the support is outsourced to India, and it's less than responsive. We're about to have a heated status meeting in 1 hr 9 minutes.

This company likes to acquire other companies when the tech matches. Over the years, they have consumed 20+ (maybe more) firms and never got around to generating a unified IT strategy.
Then something bad happened. It was a security incident of some sort, but they would not share the details. A new CEO comes in, and the money starts flowing. Now, they aren't going cloud, but creating servers as requested on generic hardware seems to be working very well. In 5 years when the hardware needs to update, it should be painless (I won't be there to see that).
They are also doing a big corporate wide push to unify security, OS' and applications.

Another possibility is that some high profile hacks of cloud systems will cause the migration to reverse.

People stayed with Wells Fargo. And the news over the past several years has shown that people aren't the smartest......

It's already been hacked. Worse, you can make simple configuration errors - like Microsoft did - and expose corporate data.
There is no way I would ever recommend "the cloud" for a production system. Development? sure.
