The article notes that the cloud industry is racing towards AI, creating massive new opportunities. However, most enterprises still run on traditional cloud services, including compute, storage, networking, databases, identity, monitoring, and security. These are not yesterday's concerns but the operational foundation of modern business. If providers neglect these foundational services while chasing AI revenue, enterprise customers will suffer first in reliability, performance, cost, support, and operational complexity. AI features are useful but are no substitute for dependable infrastructure.
