Will AI Kill the Cloud & SaaS?

Will AI Kill the Cloud & SaaS?

An AWS outage took down apps around the world this week and it exposed a bigger question about the future of cloud, SaaS, and AI-first strategies. In this episode of Leading Change in the Wild, I break down what happened during the Virginia data center failure and what it signals for organizations that are pushing automation, AI decision-making, and cloud dependency deeper into critical infrastructure. Here is what I explore:
  • Cloud was supposed to make uptime safer, but automation took the system down
  • AI-first strategies are removing humans from the loop while infrastructure is getting more fragile
  • Enterprises are rethinking disaster recovery when everything runs in the cloud
  • Subscription fatigue is driving a return to building and hosting in-house
  • The pendulum may be swinging back from SaaS and cloud to proprietary and on-prem
My biggest question is this. If automation and cloud fail, what will still work when we have removed the human expertise that was used to manage the system? 👇 I would love to hear your take: - Are outages like this a warning that we bet too much on cloud and automation? - Do you see companies starting to build in-house again instead of buying subscriptions?
