What percentage of enterprise IT compute has not moved to a public cloud?



I know I have been involved in multiple efforts to move the same workloads into and then out of the cloud, as corporate budgeting requirements prioritized either capex or opex at different times.


I'm not sure anyone really knows

uptime institute publishes some good numbers from survey, which puts on prem + colo still at >50% last I checked.

And still some additional 5% in like... on prem in closets.

Last year Amazon said it was 85% on prem. I dunno who has the right numbers.


Every single company I've worked with over the past 5 years has been repatriating from the cloud to their own DCs or colo.

The cloud doesn't pan out for long running, predictable workloads. Most companies are and will continue to use VMs for many years.
