I spoke with Brian Adler, Senior Director, Cloud Market Strategy, at Flexera, about the annual cloud report’s findings, from multicloud to cloud budgets, challenges, containers, security and more. Plus: Has Azure finally overtaken AWS?

Among the reports findings:

  • MultiCloud: 89% of organizations embrace multi-cloud; 80% hybrid.
  • Cloud spend: Eight percent of all respondents spend more than $60 million per year on public cloud, and more than half spend over $2.4 million.
  • Security: Top challenges in cloud are security, expertise and spend.
  • Containers: Container use becomes increasingly mainstream, especially container-as-a-service.
  • Cloud providers: Azure passed AWS for first time.
