The HashiCorp 2024 State of Cloud Strategy Survey revealed that only 8% of respondents qualified as highly cloud mature, investing more in the cloud and experiencing stronger security, faster development, and agile provisioning. Highly cloud-mature organizations were found to be coping better with common cloud challenges and investing in generative AI to automate cloud infrastructure and security. Cloud waste remains a concern, with 91% of respondents reporting waste in their cloud spending, primarily due to lack of skills, overprovisioning, and idle resources.
