AIOps And Supercloud Adoption

For the last couple of years, I have been highlighting yearly predictions at the beginning of each year. For 2023, I would like to expand on one of the trends that I briefly mentioned in my 2022 predictions: superclouds. Since then, there have been a lot of discussions, vendors staking their claims, and clarity around superclouds. In this article, I will look at how observability, AIOps and automation are going to be key tenets for supercloud abstraction and adoption in 2023.
