That's  the folly of IT. Its about chasing the it things.
Now companies being extorted by these big tech  because they hold your data in their cloud. The next fad comes, will be bringing all that shit back on prem

Can see the trend.

After the AWS incident, business folks realised their business is at the mercy cloud, and not cheap also to host due many variables (not just from OPEX, but other non cost related).

Hence the reverse.

I always thought it was stupid. Ironically, my career here was built on the virtual platform because I was hired to virtualised the functionality that they previously sold as a add-on hardware accelerator. Actually, it was great for the company because customers could try the software version and then started buying licenses for it. Even now that they are moving back to hardware platforms, they will still be using the software version rather than a add-on hardware accelerator, which has been discontinued.

the VM using mean is cloud? coz you know.. there are still people who do self hosting on self own hardware running a hypervisor(vm host)

No, our customers a lot doing self-hosting due to sensitive data. Just recently, a couple of big ones started ordering lots of new hardware from us. We can't get enough chips for our platforms.
