Most Fortune 100&#x2F;500 companies <i>are</i> incompetent at managing the efficiency of their infrastructure for many reasons and there&#x27;s a revolving door of CIOs trying to make them more efficient. DoD before cited &quot;environment standardization&quot; as their primary reason for buying a ton of VMware licenses rather than the usual themes of DC consolidation and business agility, which completely boggles a lot of peoples&#x27; minds even at VMware.<p>I&#x27;ve been writing IT operations automation software for about a decade now and people still are having trouble with a basic &quot;open a ticket when something breaks&quot; workflow and having humans do things is very common. Even into 2014 I was hearing of $500k+ contracts to spend a month in meetings to wind up with a SOAP &#x2F; XML-RPC call with about 40 lines of XML just to open a new ticket in some custom ticketing system... that will then be triaged by people because they have focused so little upon thinking about making their IT systems usable for their own staff.<p>My primary concern is that if these same organizations that are that incompetent at managing their IT business in the first place go into the cloud, what&#x27;s keeping them from screwing it up there too? All it takes is for someone to push an AWS access key to a Git repo and half of the US could be getting their identities stolen. I think this is what the conversation really means when people say that enterprises are still scared of cloud security a decade into the cloud IaaS movement. In reality, they&#x27;re scared of their own organizations&#x27; competence to handle the power of cloud systems.
