The Cloud Is Rewinding… Because of AI

[tradelikepro]

Irony of the year:
The rise of AI is pushing big cloud companies back into private data centers, almost like the pre-cloud era of 2009.

AWS, Microsoft, and others are now installing massive AI systems directly inside customer facilities to meet sovereignty and compliance demands.

Microsoft has its “AI Superfactories,” Azure Local, and sovereign-cloud initiatives.
Amazon now launches AI Factories for fully managed on-prem AI clusters.

The future of AI isn’t just the cloud —
it’s the cloud everywhere, plugged directly into your basement, bunker, or government data center.
