Enterprises are rethinking cloud-first strategies. Between rising costs, growing AI workloads, and the need for data sovereignty , more organizations are bringing critical infrastructure back on-prem.#AI #CloudRepatriation #DataLakehouse #DataEngineering #ApacheIceberg
Cloud Repatriation: Why Enterprises Are Moving Workloads Off Hyperscalers
Enterprises are moving AI and analytics workloads off public clouds to cut costs and regain control without sacrificing performance. Cloud repatriation brings cloud-native design on-prem.

Object storage is the foundation of a secure data lakehouse. But storing data isn’t enough. You need access control, encryption, audit logs, replication, and governance at scale.
