This article is pure clickbait. Clicking on the link, it took me to Cloud News or something. I'm sure Gartner got some $$ for the self-serving article.
Both of my primary customers started migrating to the cloud years ago. The first one has given up. They are now deploying appropriately spec'd generic servers and creating VMWare virtual machines as needed. They are doing this at the big sites of the corp.
The second customer has gone insane with security. They are moving to the "cloud" - Wipro - and to be honest, it's a complete abortion. Maybe that's a little harsh on Wipro. Most of the support is outsourced to India, and it's less than responsive. We're about to have a heated status meeting in 1 hr 9 minutes.

This company likes to acquire other companies when the tech matches. Over the years, they have consumed 20+ (maybe more) firms and never got around to generating a unified IT strategy.
Then something bad happened. It was a security incident of some sort, but they would not share the details. A new CEO comes in, and the money starts flowing. Now, they aren't going cloud, but creating servers as requested on generic hardware seems to be working very well. In 5 years when the hardware needs to update, it should be painless (I won't be there to see that).
They are also doing a big corporate wide push to unify security, OS' and applications.

Another possibility is that some high profile hacks of cloud systems will cause the migration to reverse.

People stayed with Wells Fargo. And the news over the past several years has shown that people aren't the smartest......

It's already been hacked. Worse, you can make simple configuration errors - like Microsoft did - and expose corporate data.
There is no way I would ever recommend "the cloud" for a production system. Development? sure.

After spending hours on a bug fix or a feature update, often the last thing we developers want to do is carefully explain the contents of the Git commit. For those that need an AI to write, "code change"

Line X changed Y for Z
... rinse and repeat...
That's something I can do with a compare files between the two versions.
Or are they trying to say that it will be able to write down the why and what it solved automatically? Let me a bit about it, thanks

Aimed at the office, Amazon Q can summarize docs and assist with programming tasks. "If I ask a very simple question, do you think you might be able to answer it without it troubling your intellect too much?"
Oh joy! Another, "give us access to all your docs and internal applications, and we'll *help* you" service. Where do I sign up?
"Amazon Q is priced at $20 per user per month, which is lower than Microsoft and Google's enterprise AI solutions, which are priced at $30 per user per month" A bargoon!
