Study: Trust in Cloud Providers Is Not An Issue With Developers, Until It Is
Summary
ClearPath’s study gathered insights from more than 800 developers at small and mid-sized businesses (i.e., less than 500 full-time employees) in a wide variety of industries and geographies around the world. “Approximately 20% of developers believe that the Big 3 hyperscalers will engage in behaviors that include leveraging their brands to stifle competition, focusing on shareholders more than customer needs, hosting or working with customers that developers find morally objectionable, monetizing user data for their own use, and locking them in with proprietary tools,” said Stephanie Fairchild, senior analyst at ClearPath Strategies. “An alternative cloud provider like Linode can be a more trustworthy partner for innovative upstarts—one that offers predictable pricing and doesn’t threaten or compete with their business. • The Top 3 reasons cited for developers’ preference of their chosen third-party cloud provider: (1) security; (2) trust; and (3) quality of service. • Survey respondents indicated hyperscale and alternative cloud providers deliver equally effective performance and security.
