Supercloud is becoming a thing. Here's proof.

TheCUBE Breaking Analysis + upcoming broadcasts [Supercloud is becoming a thing.]( [Here's proof.]( Supercloud is gaining acceptance as a cloud strategy, and theCUBE’s analyst Dave Vellante has proof. In [this week’s Breaking Analysis]( he examines how companies are addressing their multicloud challenges by building “an abstraction layer that resides above and across hyperscale infrastructure, connects on-premises workloads, and eventually stretches to the edge.” Call it what? Call it supercloud; distributed cloud; metacloud; a consistent experience; or cloud layer abstraction, the wording is unimportant, as all share a common concept, according to Vellante. In validation, Vellante gathers verbatim quotes from a long list of theCUBE alumni who’ve weighed in on supercloud under one name or another and links them with ETR data that shows spending momentum on supercloud buildout across the technology ecosystem. “We’re seeing lots of evidence that we said last year]( is taking shape and supercloud is becoming a thing — and really is the future of cloud,” Vellante states.  Pitfalls in the path There are several possible pitfalls, however, on the path to widespread supercloud adoption, including a lack of open standards and companies choosing to focus on stock buybacks and dividends rather than investing in innovation, as happened IBM]( when it passed up the opportunity to invent cloud. “Innovation rewards leaders, and while it’s not without risks, innovation is what powers the technology industry,” Vellante concludes.

The Wall Street Journal Monday [reported]( the deal could be announced by Thursday, coming to $60 billion, or $140 a share, in cash and stock. The Journal said Broadcom was looking to a small number of banks to provide $40 billion in debt financing. It would be one of the biggest this year, behind only Microsoft’s pending $75 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard Inc. and Elon Musk’s $44 million deal to buy Twitter Inc. If Broadcom acquires VMware, it would be an unusual and unexpected deal because it’s not immediately clear what synergies there are. Operating in different markets, Broadcom's primarily concerned with the design and manufacture of computer chips while VMware sells cloud-based and on-premises software and services, and only recently became independent from Dell Technologies Inc. [Snowflake shares tumble as growth slows]( Shares of once-high-flying software unicorn Snowflake Inc. are finally falling to earth. The stock price of the cloud data warehousing provider fell nearly 14% after-hours Wednesday on a weaker-than-expected full-year forecast amid signs of a slowdown in spending by large enterprise customers. The quarterly numbers weren’t bad overall. Losses narrowed in its fiscal first quarter on revenue that beat analysts’ expectations. The quarterly net loss of $165.8 million, or 53 cents a share, improved from a net loss of $203.2 million, or 70 cents a share, a year earlier. Executives said the long-term outlook for the business remains unchanged and that they expect long-term trends to remain in line with their growth objectives. On a conference call with analysts, Chief Executive Frank Slootman (pictured) repeatedly reiterated that the company’s strategic objective is for profitable growth. “Snowflake is not a growth-at-all-costs company,” he said. “Investments must lead to innovation that creates differentiation. There is no waste at Snowflake.” T[heCUBE explores the Storage as a Service boom]( [We're live June 1]( with a special broadcast ["At Your Storage Service"]( Pure Storage and other IaaS experts.

The general feeling at the conference was that the Kubernetes ecosystem is reaching an inflection point. Work on the core Kubernetes platform itself is slowing, as it has reached a level of maturity – while rapid innovation continues unabated across the broader Kubernetes landscape. Contributor Jason Bloomberg spent his time at the conference interviewing "the most interesting vendors exhibiting at the show, looking for the most innovative, interesting offerings."

[AMD debuts new Ryzen 7000 processors for the PC market]( Advanced Micro Devices Inc. has [introduced]( new line of personal computer processors, the Ryzen 7000 series, that features significant performance improvements and built-in machine learning capabilities. AMD Chief Executive Officer Lisa Su (pictured) detailed the Ryzen 7000 series today at Computex 2022. The executive also previewed a new processing core architecture, the Zen 4, that will power the central processing unit series.  Historically, AMD and other chipmakers manufactured processors as a single block of silicon known as a die. With the Ryzen 7000 series, however, the company has taken a different approach. A Ryzen 7000 processor is not produced as a single die, but rather comprises three different chip modules called chiplets that are linked together after manufacturing.
