While there certainly could be a shift back, it seems like it will likely occur because of edge computing. The cloud is still relevant here, but the question also becomes what a company could do if it had distributed sensors, etc. everywhere.
I’m not sure that this helps Redhat or IBM though as it really breaks how they currently license software. AWS also already has software infrastructure offerings here as well so they could already be positioned to benefit if the trend changes.
