13. What’s next? Five disruptions shape cloud in 2017
1. Migration of complex enterprise workloads
2. Containers everywhere shake up platform foundations.
3. Serving two masters: cloud-native and digital transformers
4. Cloud service providers find app, geo, or industry niches.
5. Evolving hybrid public-private architectures and needs

14. 1. Follow the apps: lift and shift modernize

15. 2. Match your skill level and tolerance for risk to your container platform options
DIY
Requires assembly, platform engineering skills, risk tolerance, and strong ecosystem participation
CaaS
Requires some assembly, skills, and risk tolerance; limited curation
PaaS
Requires little assembly and fewer skills; stronger curation

16. 3. Not fast and slow teams; fast and faster teams

19. How Forrester tracks the public cloud
Cloud applications (SaaS) — complement + replacement
CRM, eCommerce, ePurchasing SaaS $ > traditional licensing/maintenance $
NetSuite, O365, Salesforce, Workday, many others
Cloud platforms (IaaS/PaaS) — complement + replacement
Publicly available platforms on which developers build and deploy apps
Amazon Web Services, CenturyLink, Google, IBM, Microsoft Azure, Oracle
Cloud business services (cloud “middleware”)
Targeted solutions for certain business needs, extensible by developers — fill gaps in large vendor portfolios, target niche needs, and bridge multiple cloud services
DBaaS (SQL, NoSQL), integration/IoT, file (Box), communications (Twilio), DRaaS, etc.

20. We required each vendor to offer:
The Forrester Wave™: Global Public Cloud Platforms For Enterprise Developers, Q3 2016
We required each vendor to offer:
Native development services (PaaS)
Some degree of configurable infrastructure services (IaaS), exposed directly or via PaaS
We did not evaluate IaaS-only providers.
