Anders Lybecker takes us on a fast-paced tour of the cloud’s next frontier, digging into everything from AI-native platforms and “serverless 2.0” to composable architectures. He unpacks the headaches of multi-cloud workloads, vendor lock-in and data gravity, then shows how smart standardization can help you keep performance sky-high and costs down.Security and compliance get their moment in the spotlight—expect AI-powered cyberattacks, zero-trust strategies and CSPM tools—before Lybecker peeks beyond the horizon at hardware breakthroughs, higher-level cloud services, and the rise of no-code/low-code and AI-assisted dev tools. Whether you’re a cloud newbie or a seasoned pro, you’ll walk away armed to tackle the evolving landscape.
