I'm interested in learning how other large enterprises are planning and approaching data backup, recovery, data loss, ransomware protection for Data Cloud Platforms such as Snowflake. * Are you using native capabilities? * Have you deployed additional 3rd party platforms? If so, which ones? Thanks in advance for your inputs and insights.

I'm interested to understand if anyone has made the decision to move to to SAP Rise and as part of the move changing their hyperscaler for SAP services based on incentives that are being provided by the hyperscaler.

At what companies do software engineering teams use Cloud Development Environments (CDEs) such as GitHub Codespaces, Gitpod, Codeanywhere, Coder, Replit, and CodeSandbox? How common is using these services?

PaaS users: Have you adapted to the transition from database administrators to Database-as-a-Service? Do you still experience gaps with your PaaS provider's DBaaS offering?

Are you using any iPaaS (integration platform as a service) solutions for integration or are you doing your own point to point?

What do you think is the biggest barrier today for moving ERP applications to Public Cloud (IaaS / PaaS)? Please expand on choices with meaningful insights in the comments!

What are Your opinion, or experiences the best Kubernetes platform for On-Prem infrastructure out of Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) and Redhat Openshift Container Platform? We are evaluating On-Prem on bare metal installation, however with hybrid capabilities (Azure). Why not VMware You might ask? We have allready concluded that we want to move away from vmware to other HCI solutions like Azure Stack HCI or Nutanix for our IaaS workloads. Thank You for any insights!

We are about to embark on ECC to S/4HANA migration, and SAP is pushing us strongly towards RISE. They delivered a business case for us, and they are presenting cases of successful RISE migrations. On the other hand, our experience with handing over any support or project execution to SAP (e.g. BTP or SAC Cloud Foundry migrations, Success Factors and Ariba configurations) in the last 2-3 years has been very negative. Can anyone with hands-on experience with RISE share their journey? Contrary to what SAP is showing us, I am interested in challenges and complications that may arise in project execution, particularly in the quality of support they provide during the migration and in BAU.
