Cloud Computing

Most of you might already know this. Cloud computing takes prominence at least for the next decade. As you know the objective of cloud computing is to avoid infrastructure and maintenance costs on-premises and manage infrastructure or platform as a service in the cloud.

Most big enterprises in Finance, Banking, Telecommunications etc still maintain their applications on-premise. Though they have some challenges for migration like security, migration costs etc, they will soon kick start to cloud.

Some companies opt for hybrid models as well. That is to, for security reasons, maintain certain critical applications or databases in-house, the rest will be migrated to the cloud or use a private cloud.

Cloud computing is one of the latest technologies to manage and maintain servers, databases, and the integration of various applications in the cloud through configuration. Though there are many cloud providers in the market, here are the topmost.

Amazon web services (AWS)
Microsoft Azure
Google Cloud Platform
IBM Cloud
Salesforce
Oracle

Gartner, a technology research firm, explains that cloud revenues will surge and surpasses traditional companies across the world by 2025.

Statista, which offers statistics & reports, market insights, and consumer insights, provides the market share of top cloud players in the market.

So cloud computing technologies will definitely have a bright future in the next 10 years. Identify one of the providers and start learning its respective cloud technologies if you are still not. This will certainly fetch you the demand, add weight to your profile and high chance of salary increment in the job market.
