Is 2024 the Year of Cloud Repatriation?

Eyal Arazi, cloud security manager at Radware, looks at why organizations once committed to cloud-first and cloud-only strategies are now reevaluating their approach.
In recent years, the business landscape has witnessed a remarkable transformation with the rapid adoption of cloud computing.
Companies have moved en masse to the cloud, changing the way they manage and deploy their workloads to take advantage of the promises of unparalleled flexibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency.
This u-turn in thinking and events is a process called cloud repatriation.
According to Radware's 2023 Application Security in a Multi-Cloud World report, two hundred organizations weighed in on this trend, confirming a shift in their security strategies.
According to the 2023 data, only 24% of them said they deployed applications on multiple cloud environments.
This is down from the 58% of organizations that said they deployed applications across two or more public cloud environments in our 2022 survey.
While 21% of organizations were using three or more cloud environments in 2022, only a negligible percentage seem to be doing so in 2023.
Security is not the only factor causing companies to rethink their security strategies and move applications and data back on-premise.
Cost management: While the cloud's pay-as-you-go model can be cost-effective for variable workloads, it can lead to unexpected expenses when usage spikes.
Where predictable workloads are concerned, it can be more cost-efficient to invest in on-premise infrastructure over the long term, rather than paying ongoing cloud service fees.
Performance and latency: Applications requiring low-latency responses or intense computational power can encounter performance bottlenecks in a cloud environment.
Maintaining control over that data and having physical access to it offers a level of security and compliance that cloud solutions cannot always guarantee.
Complexity and vendor lock-in: Adopting multiple cloud services and platforms can create technical and security complexities.
Concerns about vendor lock-in and potential difficulties in migrating between cloud providers can cause some organizations to consider bringing workloads back in-house.
Resource optimization: Workloads that have stable resource requirements may not fully leverage the cloud's elasticity.
While repatriation to the cloud will continue in 2024, it is not a wholesale withdrawal from the cloud.
According to our survey, most organizations still deploy applications in a hybrid architecture made up of private and public clouds and on-premise environments.
In 2023, nearly three quarters of survey respondents reported still using their on-premises data centers, and 70% are using a private cloud environment.
Eyal is a Cloud Security Manager at Radware, where he is responsible for market strategy for Radware's line of cloud security products.
