Lee Sustar
Principal Analyst
Lee serves cloud and technology leaders along with other infrastructure professionals. His research focuses on public cloud platforms, the rise of the AI-native cloud, cloud strategy, architecture and operations, and the wider transition to cloud-native computing and practices. He collaborates with enterprises in the development and execution of cloud strategies, from architecture to implementation. Most notably, he brings organizational context (e.g., industry, investments, regulations, skills, location) to these deliverables. Lee’s practitioner background in financial services — along with hands-on work in cloud and Kubernetes strategies, architecture, security, risk, and governance — gives him a unique perspective. Key markets that Lee covers include multicloud container platforms and all aspects of public cloud platforms, from core network, compute, and storage to AI-native offerings.
