Can anyone educate me on the difference between IBM Cloud and C&CS? I don’t understand the difference, particularly in reference to “future IBM” (post Kyndryl). Appreciate any insights. Thx.

Pretty much all of that is false. I work in cloud under C&CS and have plenty of colleagues scattered throughout IBM both systems and cloud.. We don't use anything legacy IBM whatsoever outside of systems, everything is brand new and/or open source. IBM cloud has failed? Hmm, I guess The $26B a year is made of Monopoly $. People on this site go a tad bit overboard with their rhetoric.
C&CS is an org that serves two purposes: it allows IBM to inflate its externally reported Cloud numbers; and it provides a few execs with huge empires.
(Actually the cloud numbers are even worse than that: my own product, not part of C&CS, is reported externally as Cloud, even though only a tiny %age of our revenue is legitimately cloud.)
C&CS is essentially the old Software Group. ie all the software that IBM sells...
None of that software is really made for Cloud (still)... and I don't want to hear that it is not true because IBM has come up with the CloudPaks... CloudPaks are a total aberration.
After all these years, IBM still does not understand what the Cloud is.
Ibm cloud is public cloud which was softlayer and has completely failed while c&cs is lot of software that ibm sells which includes "hybrid cloud" as well as watson suites.
Hybrid is basically them taking old software and trying to run it on ocp.
Cloud is part of C&CS.
