Amsterdam, 3 juli 2024 - HashiCorp heeft zijn
2024 State of Cloud Strategy Survey gepubliceerd. Een van de resultaten is dat ondanks het feit dat steeds meer organisaties hun cloudprogramma's verder uitbouwen door lifecycle management voor infrastructuur en security te implementeren, slechts 8% zeer volwassen cloudprogramma's heeft.
Andere uitkomsten van het rapport zijn:
- Organisaties met zeer volwassen cloudprogramma's hebben cloud practices geïmplementeerd om gestandaardiseerde shared services te bieden voor infrastructure en security lifecycle management. 67% van deze organisaties levert deze services via een platformteam. Met gecentraliseerd beheer en automatisering hebben ze een beter rendement van hun cloudinvesteringen. Hoewel zeer cloud-volwassen organisaties meer uitgeven aan de cloud, verspillen ze ook minder van dat geld.
- 66% van de respondenten zegt de uitgaven aan cloud infrastructure het afgelopen jaar te hebben verhoogd. 91% van de respondenten zegt op zijn minst enige cloud waste te hebben geconstateerd.
- 64% van de highly mature respondenten ervaart een tekort aan geschoold personeel, maar 67% daarvan zegt gelukkig te kunnen terugvallen op platformteams, die hen helpen de effectiviteit van menskracht te maximaliseren.
- 70% van alle respondenten gebruikt AI om de cloud infrastructure kracht bij te zetten, of is van plan dit te doen.
- Hoewel 95% van de respondenten zegt dat ze op zijn minst zijn begonnen met het opzetten van een platformteam, doet slechts 42% op dit moment een beroep op deze teams om de cloudactiviteiten in de hele organisatie te standaardiseren.
- 86% van de zeer volwassen cloud-organisaties realiseert sterkere cloud security.
Meghan Liese, VP Product Marketing bij HashiCorp zegt over het onderzoek: “De State of Cloud Strategy Survey van dit jaar richtte zich op de impact van cloud volwassenheid. De resultaten laten zien dat de meerderheid van de organisaties worstelt met het leveren van cloudprogramma's die resulteren in positieve zakelijke impact: 40% van de organisaties met een lage volwassenheid geeft aan dat ze nog steeds wachten tot hun cloudinvesteringen renderen," aldus Meghan Liese, VP Product Marketing, HashiCorp. "Organisaties die echter de juiste dingen hebben gedaan en een hoge cloudvolwassenheid hebben bereikt, realiseren voordelen zoals verhoogde productiviteit, sterkere security en lagere cloudkosten."

HashiCorp 2024 State of Cloud Strategy Survey shows the path to cloud success requires platform engineering capabilities
Only 8% of organizations are fully realizing the business benefits of their cloud investments with standardized shared services
SAN FRANCISCO, July 3, 2024 -- HashiCorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: HCP), The Infrastructure Cloud™ company, today released its
2024 State of Cloud Strategy Survey. As organizations continue building their cloud programs by adopting lifecycle management for infrastructure and security, survey results show that despite this momentum only 8% of organizations qualify as having highly mature cloud programs.
“This year’s State of Cloud Strategy Survey focused on the impact cloud maturity, defined as adopting, standardizing, and scaling key practices across the entire organization. The results show that the majority of organizations struggle to deliver cloud programs resulting in positive business impact: 40% of low-maturity organizations report they are still waiting for their cloud investments to pay off,” said Meghan Liese, VP Product Marketing, HashiCorp. “However, organizations who have done the right things and achieved high cloud maturity are realizing benefits including increased productivity, stronger security, and reduced cloud costs. We’ve seen that the path to cloud maturity lies with platform teams and gaining control over their cloud estate with infrastructure and security lifecycle management.”
Key findings from the HashiCorp 2024 State of Cloud Strategy Survey
General cloud programs: Organizations with highly mature cloud programs have implemented cloud practices to provide standardized shared services for infrastructure and security lifecycle management, and 67% of highly mature organizations deliver these services through a platform team. With centralized management and automation they get a better return on their cloud investments – while highly cloud mature organizations spend more on the cloud, they also waste less of that money.

With centralized management and automation they get a better return on their cloud investments – while highly cloud mature organizations spend more on the cloud, they also waste less of that money.
- 66% of respondents reported they increased cloud infrastructure spending in the last year, though 91% of respondents said they experienced at least some cloud waste.
- 64% of the highly mature respondents are experiencing a shortage of skilled staff, but 67% of highly mature organizations reported relying on platform teams, which help them maximize the impact of their teams.
- 70% of all respondents – and 85% of highly mature organizations – are using, or planning to use, AI to power cloud infrastructure.
Infrastructure Lifecycle Management: Highly mature cloud organizations build, deploy, and manage their critical applications through a holistic approach across the entire lifecycle of infrastructure management with unified workflows to reduce risk and boost developer velocity.
- Though 95% of respondents say they have at least started the process of establishing a platform team, only 42% currently rely on their platform teams to fully standardize cloud operations throughout the organization.
- High-maturity organizations are twice as likely to have standardized on platform teams.
Security Lifecycle Management: Highly mature cloud organizations manage the full lifecycle of security with an identity-driven approach to inspect, protect, and connect secrets and credentials.
- 86% of high-maturity organizations are realizing stronger security in the cloud.
- Security is also the most commonly cited factor determining cloud infrastructure success, due to the challenge of secret sprawl and the need for full security lifecycle management.
Survey methodology
For our fourth annual State of Cloud Strategy Survey, we again commissioned Forrester Consulting to track respondents’ answers to questions measuring organizations’ cloud maturity and help refine our cloud maturity model to focus on the impact of scaling key practices across the entire organization. Forrester surveyed nearly 1,200 technology practitioners and decision-makers in companies with more than 1,000 employees in a variety of industries around the world, drawn from random samplings and the HashiCorp opt-in contact database.
