Cloud Repatriation in Practice

The Channel Chat Episode 1: Cloud Repatriation in Practice

Cloud bills higher than you expected? In this Channel Chat episode, Aptum’s Global Channel Chief Vicki Patten sits down with Marc Paré, VP Product, to talk about cloud repatriation in practice and what IT leaders can do about rising public cloud costs. They walk through how we got from “cloud first” to “cloud right”, why hyperscalers are changing pricing and incentives, and how that shows up on your invoice. Vicki and Marc also unpack Cory Doctorow’s idea of “enshittification”, use Netflix as a simple analogy, and link it to what many teams are feeling with AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. In this 30 minute session, they cover:

• The shift from pure public cloud to hybrid and multi-cloud strategies
• Shadow IT, sprawl and why governance and FinOps still lag for many teams
• How to assess which workloads should stay in public cloud and which should move
• Real world drivers for cloud repatriation including cost, data residency and customer demands
• How partners like Aptum support hybrid cloud assessments and ongoing control

This session is for CIOs, IT directors, cloud architects, finance leaders and channel partners who are rethinking their cloud stance and want a more predictable, sustainable model.
