Data Boomerang

A data boomerang happens when in-house IT staff are asked to manage a project, along with its data, that was previously deployed on the cloud. There are various reasons that this can happen: the original developers might have moved on to other projects, leaving IT staff to manage resources that used the cloud in testing and have been moved to production in the cloud. IT administrators are tasked with maintaining data that they thought would be hosted in the cloud permanently.

By analogy this term, data boomerang,is used with the term "boomerang generation" of, which, young adults moving back in with their parents.
