Cloud is evolving fast — driven by AI + cloud integration. More companies are using cloud platforms to run AI/ML workloads: for predictive analytics, automation, and scalable AI-driven workflows.
At the same time, hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud strategies are becoming mainstream. Organizations mix public, private, and on-premise clouds to avoid vendor lock-in, optimize costs, and manage data/resilience more flexibly.
Another strong trend: edge computing meets cloud — workloads shift where data originates (at the “edge”), reducing latency and enabling real-time processing for IoT, mobile, and distributed applications.
Finally, cloud security and sustainability are rising priorities. Companies are adopting stronger security models (like zero-trust), while cloud providers push “green cloud” initiatives to reduce energy use and environmental impact.
