Why cloud resilience is failing in the modern era
This page outlines five key shifts redefining cloud resilience, from the fragility of “always-on” environments to the growing impact of hidden dependencies and skills gaps.
Informed by Gartner conference insights, these themes highlight why resilience must move beyond infrastructure alone. Together, they point directly to the Gartner IT Infrastructure Operations & Cloud Conference as a critical venue for leaders preparing for the next phase of cloud risk.

Enterprises have spent years modernising, automating, and migrating to cloud-native architectures. Yet, despite this progress, the cloud ecosystem is showing signs of increasing fragility. High-visibility outages across major providers have revealed a structural weakness: Organisations have optimised for speed and scale but often at the expense of resilience.
This tension was echoed in the Gartner IOCS Conference session, ‘The Distraction Tax: How Operational Noise Is Quietly Killing Innovation,’ which highlighted how alert storms, redundant telemetry, and operational...
