The Cloud Comedown: Understanding the Emerging Trend of Cloud Exit Strategies

2024-10-29T10:08:05+00:00

The fast rise of cloud computing during the last decade promised flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. However, for an increasing number of businesses, the long-term realities of cloud computing are requiring significant rethinking. According to recent studies, 42% of US businesses have already moved at least half of their cloud workloads back on-premises or are planning to do so. The rising trend of "Cloud Exit" requires a thorough analysis of the cloud's disadvantages in comparison to its widely promoted benefits. Multiple critical variables are driving the shift away from total cloud reliance. Although transitioning to the cloud initially reduces building costs, subsequent operational expenses may ultimately surpass those of private data centers. A 2022 poll revealed that 43% of IT leaders perceive the expenses associated with transitioning to the cloud as exceeding their initial expectations. Companies often contend with overprovisioning and surplus resources, resulting in unnecessary expenses. Simultaneously, notable cloud breaches at Capital One, Twilio, and others heighten apprehensions regarding the storage of sensitive data externally. Outages at AWS, Azure, and Oracle underscore dependence hazards. The Cloud Exit trend points to the need of a more balanced viewpoint. Although early adoption rates of clouds are strong, current polls reveal just 32% of corporate cloud migrations are judged totally effective. The gap between the promised outcomes and real-world results suggests cloud computing has been overhyped. Its purported security, reliability, and cost advantages do not universally apply. Moreover, concentration among the "Big Three" cloud providers allows AWS, Azure, and Google inordinate influence over pricing, service terms, and the direction of innovation. Their supremacy and exclusive ecosystems progressively confine users, while unjustly disadvantaging third-party services. Consequently, an increasing number of firms are formulating Cloud Exit strategies to diminish external dependence, reclaim control, and manage dangers. The cloud necessitates ongoing assessment to maintain its competitive and financial viability over time, rather than being a universal solution. Preparedness to shift workloads off-cloud gives firms strategic flexibility. Rather than a one-way path, the cloud requires continuous reassessment. Exit is not failure, but strategic agility retaining on-premises control. With unchecked dependence, dominance and deviation from early claims, businesses are wise to temper cloud enthusiasm with realism. Maintaining hybrid flexibility and an exit strategy avoids innovation stagnation or lock-in. The cloud comedown does not negate its potential, only refocuses usage based on actual outcomes.

The Scientific Underpinnings of Oḍiā New Year (Paṇā Saṅkrānti) and Its Agricultural Relevance

2024-10-29T10:18:47+00:00

Paṇā Saṅkrānti, also known as Oḍiā New Year, is a culturally significant festival in Odisha, India, marking the solar transition into the Meṣa Rāśi (Aries). This paper explores the scientific foundations of Paṇā Saṅkrānti, emphasizing its alignment with solar movements and its implications for traditional agricultural practices. By examining the timing of the festival, which coincides with the onset of summer, the study reveals how ancient agricultural communities used this period to initiate various farming activities. The festival’s customs, such as the preparation and consumption of Paṇā, a cooling drink, are analyzed for their practical applications in managing the heat and ensuring hydration during the critical pre-monsoon phase. The paper further discusses the synchronization of Paṇā Saṅkrānti with the agricultural calendar, highlighting its role in reinforcing sustainable farming practices and community well-being. Through this interdisciplinary investigation, the research offers insights into how ancient traditions were deeply intertwined with ecological awareness and agricultural efficiency, presenting Paṇā Saṅkrānti as a model of integrating cultural rituals with scientific and environmental principles.

After countless years of Vyasa’s Mahabharat, Sarala Das’s Mahabharat in Odia language composed in 15th century, by the direct grace of Goddess Sarala (Devi Saraswati) is an immortal contribution to the myth narratives in Indian Literature.

Till the beginning of 15th century Sarala Das both a poet and social reformer, a seasoned Ayurvedic Physician, acclaimed as ‘Adikabi’ (First Poet) of Odia language and literature provides ample cues in his literature to cure various physical and mental disorder by a common method of astronomy and astrological calculation or natural curative agents such as herbs, shrubs or plants to mitigate the pain. It is an important organ of folk culture before the stepping up of advanced medical science to human society. The present study, therefore, goes to focus upon Sarala Mahabharat where without any scientific basis or perhaps, Sarala Das, deliberately keeping the scientific reasons secret thereof, has revealed the miracles of common cure. The then society, strongly anchored upon unreason blind beliefs such as / quackery, necromancy, mantra, tantra, herbal treatment, astrology and astronomy etc. is resolved to find out the probable instant therapies or therapeutic reliefs for the mankind through Sarala’s Ayurveda as revealed in his Mahabharat. Quack treatment since Charak and Shusruta, without the scientific angle, is a riddle for modern man. Curious enthusiasts and researchers have of late churned out the basic of Ayurvedic Treatment or Jadibuti as explained in Sarala Mahabharat for the benefit of human beings among the complicacies of modern medical science and the emergence of strange diseases along with.

Celebrating Self-Love: Women’s Customized Divorce Rings as Symbols of Resilience and Renewal

2024-10-29T10:23:51+00:00

Divorce has traditionally been associated with failure, shame, and taboo. However, cultural attitudes are shifting to frame divorce in a more positive light - as an opportunity for self-growth, prioritization, and celebration of the self. One indication of this is the recent popularity of divorce parties and trips that allow women to positively commemorate moving on from broken marriages. Alongside these celebratory divorce rituals has emerged a new symbol of women empowerment and resilience - the customized divorce ring. Inspired by model Emily Rakowski’s widely publicized pair of rings created from her original engagement ring, divorce rings are being embraced by women as representations of their confidence, self-discovery journeys, and endurance of self-love despite the ending of a marriage. This paper explores the rising prominence of divorce rings against the backdrop of evolving cultural perspectives on divorce. An overview situates divorce rings as part of a broader movement to transform the narrative around breakups to one that radiates self-compassion, inclusion, and freedom. It traces the background of traditional stigmatization of divorce before contrasting the modern reframing of divorce as an opportunity for liberation, self-care, and personal growth. Section 1 details how women are personalizing divorce rings to embody their unique stories, with customization elements reflecting their strength, resilience, and commitment to self-love. Section 2 analyzes market trends that evidence an upsurge in demand for these rings, with jewelry specialists emphasizing their role as emblems of inner power and cultural shift toward celebrating the self. Finally, Section 3 discusses how divorce rings are redefining breakup culture to spot light narratives of women prioritizing self-care while still maintaining nuanced perspectives on the complexity of love and loss. The paper concludes that while marriages may not always last forever, the societal conversation is expanding to uplift divorce as a ritual that reignites women’s relationships with themselves. Divorce rings encapsulate the enduring radiance of self-love amidst the darkness of broken unions. Their popularity flags women placing renewed focus on their own growth journeys. Ultimately, resilience and self-care can sparkle even after rings get returned.
