The Canadian market for cloud computing is monopolized. In a new report, CAMP argues that the most effective response is to unleash competition through procurement, regulation, and competition law enforcement.
The next 10 years for cloud computing
The landscape of cloud computing is changing significantly as enterprises question the value of public cloud solutions. This shift marks a departure from previous years when the public cloud was widely regarded as the panacea for all technology and infrastructure needs. Companies are now reconsidering the efficacy, cost efficiency, and strategic alignment of public cloud computing in their IT frameworks. We’ve also been discussing this topic here in recent years.

A critical juncture for public cloud providers
As more enterprises leave the cloud or express real concern with rising prices, vendors must adapt to retain enterprise customers.

Liberatory Computing
We live under a capitalist mode of computing. The tools, languages, techniques, and assumptions of digital systems are structured by economic forces that shape not just what we can do, but what we can imagine doing. By separating production from use, producing inflexible software, and slicing up computing into siloed apps, your agency is held back by a tech industry that profits from a population rendered computationally passive.

The Path to a Sovereign Tech Stack is Via a Commodified Tech Stack | TechPolicy.Press
Strategic standardization of cloud infrastructure backed by procurement power and market forces is the right way to tame the hyperscalers, writes David Eaves.
Not that I'm at all against sovereign infrastructure, but it's quite interesting to see so much focus local, interoperable cloud infrastructure while interoperability remains taboo for individuals and communities. bsky.app/profile/chrisshank.com/post/3…

Ha obviously im glad there are incentives and investment in sovereign tech stacks! But let‘s not trick ourselves into believing swapping out tech giants with some new companies and regulations will suddenly fix everything.
