This will impact future hiring.Companies adopted more remote-friendly technologies.Many customers began using more public cloud services (out of necessity) and it worked fine. They likely won’t abandon these technology choices.Companies are focused on how to adjust to these new normals, so they’ll prioritize things that work (in the short-term) Will this be a boom for people getting new cloud certifications?Will companies eventually do cost-cutting on cloud spending, since it was “just do it!” last year?Will this create the new “bi-modal” IT?  FEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netTwitter: @thecloudcastnetFEEDBACK?Email: show @ the enterprise ai show dot comeBluesky: @EntAIShow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @TheEntAIShowInstagram: @TheEntAIShow
