Cloud computing has become the beating heart of enterprise IT and this is no conjecture. In 2020, the state of cloud computing reached every component of the IT ecosystem. From multi-clouds to far much more than a limitless expanse of servers and software, cloud computing has become the platform for an infinite number of application needs.

Today, each one of us uses the cloud architecture, either in the form of gallery backups, email storage, web-based applications, and more. But do we know where we’re headed? This industry of cloud computing is continuing to evolve and the ability to combine basic compute, storage, and networking is growing with it.

Here are some of the key moving features of cloud computing in 2020:

Platform-as-a-Service
Platform-as-a-Service is a cloud computing in which the service provider delivers a platform to clients, enable them to develop, run, and manage business applications, without the need to build or maintain the infrastructure that software development processes usually require. This model is similar to that of function-as-a-service in which a cloud service provider provisions and runs the server and manages the allocation of resources.

Infrastructure-as-a-Service
Infrastructure-as-a-service is a platform that provides virtualized computing resources over the net. It is a series of online services that provide high-level APIs used to dereference various low-level details of underlying network infrastructure like physical computing resources, data partitioning, location, security, scaling, backup, etc.

Multi-cloud computing
The use of two or more cloud computing services is also on the rise. A multi-cloud environment could be all-private, all public, or simply a combination of both. Companies generally use this service to distribute computing resources and to minimize the risks of downtime and data loss. In a similar manner, they can also use this service to increase computing power and storage to a business.

Quantum computing
Quantum computing is the computing of multiple variables at the same time. This helps in resolving issues quickly and accurately. Due to the advancements in computer hardware and configuration that allows data to be processed faster, quantum computing is now among the leading trends of cloud computing. It helps in reducing energy consumption and has a positive effect on the environment.

Serverless computing
Another exciting invention, serverless computing is based on the ‘pay-as-you-go’ model. This offers both flexibility and scalability to organizations that look to deploy their applications without worrying about investing in underlying infrastructure. With more control over infrastructure spending, application developers will be able to focus on building efficient applications without configuring or managing servers.

Cloud computing does not end anywhere near these factors alone and is idle for small and large enterprises. Companies around the entire world are witnessing the results of leveraging the cloud for their benefits. Stay tuned for more updates like these on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
