The allure of the public cloud has been undeniable. Scalability, flexibility, and a seemingly infinite pool of resources are hard to resist. For years, we’ve heard that “everything is moving to the cloud.” But with the recent AWS outage on October 20, 2025, businesses were reminded that even the largest hyperscalers are not immune to disruptions.
The AWS outage was not an isolated incident. Other major cloud providers have experienced downtime, as well. Business owners are coming to realize that an interruption in a single AWS region can impact companies worldwide, making the “flexibility” of the public cloud suddenly feel like extreme vulnerability.
Top Three Concerns Around the Public Cloud
- The cost of the public cloud has proven to be a moving target.
- Data sovereignty is another critical consideration.
- The public cloud also demands a unique skill set.
