As discussed in Part 1, the rapid evolution of cloud technology is disrupting the business world. Part 2 will discuss the Adoption of 5G, Cloud-Based Containers & VMs, Internet of Things, and Server-Free Cloud Computing.

4) Adoption of 5G

As new trends in cloud computing and IT services create more data, this data needs to move more efficiently and faster. Handling large amounts of data is not easy, and lacking reliable connections and ultra-fast capabilities, cloud storage may become useless.

LTE has reached its peak, and the world is now considering 5G as the solution.

As 5G networks are adopted, cloud-based services will grow. In countries where the majority of Internet use is on mobile devices, 5G will become a necessity.

5) Cloud-Based Containers & VMs

Cloud computing trends typically replace existing hardware with leaner solutions based on the Internet. The rise of container systems has also led to the decline of software-based systems. Thanks to cloud-based containers, virtual machines (VMs) are now obsolete.

All dependencies, libraries, and other settings required by a VM can now be built into a simple system. Deployment is faster than it has ever been, and developers now don’t have to be concerned about whether a required package for a VM will load.

6) Internet of Things

In the past few years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has spread everywhere. From microwave ovens to smart printers to HVAC systems, cloud-dependent devices can easily connect to their systems and share data. Through the data, they collect they can learn user habits and implement ways for using IoT-enabled devices more efficiently.

Over the next few decades, most products with electronics will have Internet connectivity. Nowadays, automobiles, home appliances, and manufacturing equipment are capable of communicating through the cloud. Stored usage data is shared with the manufacturers, resulting in better maintenance services and improved future products for consumers.

7) Server-Free Cloud Computing

Although early instances of cloud computing required servers as data storage devices, the system has undergone tremendous changes. Companies can now store their data online, which makes server storage integration obsolete.

Server-free technology now allows developers to create and run services that are not constrained by infrastructure. Efficiency will increase, the amount of work required will be greatly reduced, and the price will also drop significantly.
