Cloud computing kept the business and remote workforces connected during the coronavirus pandemic. As we move into 2022 and beyond, every organization would eventually adopt cloud models and existing cloud businesses would look at ways to streamline their processes for rapid growth and better business continuity.
Here are my personal views on top cloud computing trends that organizations need to watch out for.
Mitigating Risks Using Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Strategy
Cloud forms the backbone of many critical applications and with many significant outages from major cloud providers last year, it would be essential for enterprises to embark on a multi-cloud strategy for mitigating risks around a single point of failure.
Critical applications and governance functions can employ a cloud strategy that includes a hybrid and with a multi-cloud strategy. In this model, applications run on on-premises as well as Cloud powered by multiple cloud providers, ensuring data sovereignty, disaster recovery, and risk mitigation along with being agile and scalable.
A critical factor would be to design and build cloud-native applications that can run and scale on any cloud environment and a management platform that helps manage the hybrid and multi-cloud environments. I will touch upon the management platform further when I describe the unified cloud platform.
