With the caveat that intentions often do not match actual behavior, large enterprise professionals who are heavy cloud computing customers have post-Covid-19 priorities that have changed from pre-Covid levels. You would not be surprised if effort to support remote work had increased, for example.

The point is simply that post-Covid behavior might not change as much as many now anticipate.
