Wonder only WHY 😄

We are committed to iterating on and supporting ConfigMgr; at this time, we have no plans to change this direction. However, keep in mind that our overall engineering direction is cloud-centric and nearly all future value will be associated with or derived from the cloud as the enabler. This is a business decision specific to our strategy. When it comes to ConfigMgr, the most certain thing that can be said is that if you are not cloud-attaching your ConfigMgr site, you will not be able to realize most (if not all) of our future engineering investment.- Michael-CMOct 24, 2022MCT
Hi Jason, thanks for this! I can understand the cloud first way but not a cloud only way, as some features would also be useful for ConfigMgr without Cloud-Attach. For example for isolated client or server environments which cannot be joined to Intune at all.

For isolated environments, clearly Intune and Azure cannot work. For this type of environment, ConfigMgr is still the way to go as this is not an area that we've chosen to do anything additional or different about -- there really isn't anything we can truly do different here given our chosen engineering direction. This is a relatively small footprint of environments in the world though and thus is not the core focus of the discussion or our recommendations.
