Cloud technology trends in 2020

Cloud computing is one of the most promising and rapidly growing areas of IT. Information technology experts believe that cloud services will soon be in the first place among all technologies for solving most business problems and achieving business goals. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), at least half of IT spending is in the cloud, and according to Forbes, in 2020, 83% of enterprise workloads will be in the cloud.

We've listed the top five cloud computing trends in 2020. So be prepared to invest in the best technology and knowledge to maximize your ROI and stay in the loop.

Hybrid cloud amazon architect

Hybrid cloud computing involves a mix of both on-premises and public cloud services. Hybrid cloud gives users the flexibility to easily move workloads between on-premises and public clouds based on their computing needs. It provides stable and reliable server performance, advanced security features, SaaS capabilities, high performance, and customized settings.

According to a report released by Marketsand Markets, the hybrid cloud market is expected to grow to $ 97.64 billion by 2023. Tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft are already investing heavily in hybrid cloud computing as a product.

Training Center "Networking Technologies" conducts courses on Microsoft Azure and Office 365 , which train specialists who can prevent and solve problem situations in the operation of cloud IT infrastructure, connect to cloud services, deploy or migrate familiar corporate applications to the clouds, and integrate them with external systems.

IoT platform

In the era of the hyper-connected world, one of the most popular cloud computing trends is the rise of IoT platforms. The Internet of Things (IoT) platform is a cloud platform that acts as an intermediary and allows computing devices to transfer data among themselves over a network. This means that data is collected and transmitted over the Internet using embedded technologies without any manual intervention.

A Gartner study says the number of networked machines and systems will grow to 25 billion by 2021.

Growth and development of Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open source, extensible portable platform designed to handle containerized workloads and services. This facilitates both automation and declarative customization. Kubernetes is a Google product currently managed by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and is the result of 15 years of extensive experience running production workloads, combined with the best ideas and community practices. With the rise of containerized architecture, tools like Kubernetes will become more and more important in the future.

Redmonk conducted a survey that says Fortune 100 has already had 54% Kubernetes usage and is now the established standard for container orchestration.

Learning Center "Networking Technologies" implements comprehensive  training programs  for containerization and management on the Docker platform.

Artificial Intelligence

As technology advances, artificial intelligence is a cloud computing trend to watch out for as it drives an organization's workflows more efficiently. Artificial intelligence relies heavily on cloud computing and enables computing platforms to be more efficient. Artificial intelligence empowers organizations to automate and intelligently manage processes, scale quickly, and adapt to changing business needs. Tech giants are increasingly using artificial intelligence to process large amounts of data.

An IBM study shows that 65% of organizations believe artificial intelligence is essential to their growth and success.

Cloud Security

Data leakage, data theft, deletion is a serious problem even for traditional IT infrastructures. But as more companies move to cloud platforms, it is imperative that cloud service providers can build strong security and ensure the safety of their customers' data.

Cloud security is not just a trend in cloud computing this year, but a necessity that is put at the forefront of every organization. With the introduction of General Data Privacy and Governance (GDPR) in late 2018, organizations are faced with the need to comply with security requirements. Consequently, in 2020 there is a huge demand for specialists who are able to provide cloud security and data protection in the cloud.
