Digital Autonomy in the Cloud Era: Reducing Reliance on Hyperscalers
What would happen if you had to move a mission-critical application off your current cloud platform within the next year?
In this webinar highlights reel, experts from Perforce OpenLogic explore why cloud portability, digital autonomy, and operational ownership are becoming strategic priorities for enterprise organizations.
The panel opens with a simple but revealing question: How painful would it be to replatform a critical workload in the next 12 months? The answer often exposes hidden dependencies, operational risk, and the true state of an organization's cloud resilience.
The discussion goes beyond hyperscalers and vendor lock-in to examine real-world examples of what can happen when critical systems are abstracted behind managed cloud services. You'll hear about:
- Why cloud portability should be viewed like disaster recovery planning: something you hope you never need, but can't afford to ignore
- How Kubernetes operators have dramatically simplified self-managed infrastructure
- Why services like RDS, OpenSearch, and MSK are often the same open source technologies many organizations already use
- The key question organizations should be asking: Who owns the lifecycle of the software that runs your business?
Whether you're evaluating cloud strategy, reducing operational risk, exploring digital sovereignty, or building a more portable architecture, these insights offer practical lessons from real-world incidents and enterprise experience.
