I just returned from the Red Hat Summit in Germany.
All they ever talked about were "partners" (that's IBM, Microsoft, Intel, etc) and "customers" (that's the big companies they want to sell their products to, mostly corporate banks and insurance companies).
The "users" of the software would be the employees of the customers.
They were only indirectly mentioned, by praising the "efficiency gains" of the products, which will "alleviate the skilled labor shortage".
So the goal of implementing the new products (with Cloud, Automation and AI!) is to allow the customers to fire the users and let the Big Tech Company manage (and control) the workloads instead.
