As we move into\n2021, every organization would eventually adopt cloud models and existing cloud\nbusiness would look at ways to streamline their processes for better business\ncontinuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at the top cloud computing trends\nthat organizations need to watch out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hybrid\nand <\/strong><strong>Multicloud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A hybrid and Multicloud platform provides a\ncloud computing environment that helps organizations to deploy and manage their\napplications on on-prem, private cloud or across multi-cloud providers in a\nunified and consistent way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Multicloud environment provides enterprises to\nmodernize their applications and adopt cloud services from multiple cloud\nvendors based on their business requirements and avoid vendor lock-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organizations which runs their solutions\non-premises, can leverage their existing infrastructure and modernize their applications\nand build regulatory and compliant solutions where data doesn\u2019t leave the\norganization\u2019s geographic boundaries. These organizations can scale their\non-prem infrastructure to cloud and also leverage cloud services to run\nnon-sensitive computation tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, Hybrid and Multicloud platforms like\nGoogle Anthos, provides a unified approach to streamline on-premises and multi\ncloud environments that includes <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A consistent development and deployment experience <\/li><li>Unified operations, monitoring and SLA management <\/li><li>Consistent compliance, security and policy\nadherence <\/li><li>Portability through the use of cloud-native\napplications\/containers<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You would see lot of developments in this space\n\u2013 from infrastructure modernization, integration, tooling and skilling for\nhybrid and multi-cloud adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cloud\non the Edge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a connected world and with 5G gaining momentum, we would see\nnew class of cloud-native applications that would require data and compute to\nbe located closer to end-users to provide real-time, ultra-low latency and\nimmersive experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next generation applications would drive new set of\nrequirements like near real-time decision making, low latency streaming, gaming\nand virtual experience and collective intelligence. With adoption of Internet\nof Things,&nbsp;every object in the world would have the potential to connect\nto the Internet and provide their data so as to derive actionable insights on\nits own or through other connected objects. To realize this vision for Internet\nof Things, Edge computing would play a very critical role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Industries need to be agile and prepared for transformation. For\ninstance virtual mall shopping, trying and buying stuffs can provide the same\nreal-like experience in future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cloud providers would need to extend the hybrid and multi-cloud\nmodel on the edge to provides computing and central management of edge clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serverless<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serverless\ntechnology removes the overhead of managing the cloud infrastructure and allow\norganizations to focus on executing business functions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lot of\norganizations have already embarked on the serverless journey and this would\ngrow exponentially for new class of applications and for distributed services\norchestration. Serverless technology will be a boom for start-ups and small\nscale business to quickly try out and scale ideas\/products without worrying\nabout constant cloud costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might\nsee lot of standardization evolve in this arena, which allows to run serverless\ntechnology is a vendor neutral way across hybrid and multi-cloud providers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Intelligent\nCloud Management and Cloud Optimization<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As all\nworkloads would eventually move to cloud and hybrid cloud models, intelligent\ncloud management solutions will evolve which would guide customers to use could\nservices effectively and optimize their spends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the usage data generated by the cloud and workloads, recommendations would be provided to downgrade or upscale computing resources. For instance, a database instance might have been provisioned with default IOPS and based on utilization, only 30% IOPS is actually utilized. The cloud optimization solution would provide recommendation to downgrade the IOPS numbers by utilizing every bit of usage data to provide optimisation. Similarly if development environments are not being utilized on weekends and only available for business hours, based on actual usage utilization, recommendation should be provided to turn off those computing resources. Similarly, recommendation can be provided to move towards serverless where constant workload is not required. There can be many opportunities where an AI engine can recommend upgrade\/downgrade or even migration of services based on actual usage scenarios.  There is ample opportunity to use the actual cloud data and provide optimisations across cloud services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We would\nalso see lot of third party vendor solutions come up that would help customers\nchoose and provision the right cloud services and optimise spends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To summarize, various innovations would happen in cloud computing to help organizations modernize existing applications and build new cloud native solutions that can seamlessly run anywhere &#8211; be it on-prem, multi-clouds or on the edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The article was featured in Jan 2021 release of Industrial Automation magazine  &#8211; https:\/\/www.industrialautomationindia.in\/articleitm\/11284\/Cloud-Computing-Trends-for-2021\/articles<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cloud Computing Trends for 2021.
