Why Tech Consulting Titans Stay Quiet About the Cloud Outages

Why Tech Consulting Titans Stay Quiet About the Cloud Outages

In this video, David Linthicum examines the notable silence from major consulting firms and technology leaders in the aftermath of the recent AWS and Microsoft outages. With so many businesses relying on cloud infrastructure, why are the loudest voices in technology holding their tongues during crises that impact everyone? David explores the underlying business realities: strategic partnerships, financial dependencies, and the self-preserving interests that discourage public commentary from major firms. He explains how silent alliances and backchannel deals shield consulting firms from conflict but ultimately keep clients and the broader tech community in the dark about critical resiliency issues.

David argues there's an ethical obligation for these industry leaders to address the risks—not just behind closed doors with select clients, but transparently and publicly, for the good of all organizations that depend on the cloud. If the biggest names aren't willing to advocate for better solutions in the open, who will? Viewers will come away with a deeper understanding of the intersection between business interests, cloud dependencies, and the moral responsibility to speak up when technology failures threaten entire economies.
