Five key points in cloud computing trends

Some time ago at the Cloud Expo Fair, I was asked what attitude I have about the future trend of cloud computing. So I'm here to share with you the five key trends I personally can anticipate.

First, while everyone is familiar with the term "cloud computing," I have been unable to determine whether I understand the word, even though my work over the years has been about cloud computing. The concept of cloud computing is much earlier than it was, and I believe that the concept must be much longer than the popular word cloud. After a certain time period, "cloud computing" may be left only "calculation", because it is only a calculation method.

Second, the industry has begun to shift the focus of cloud computing to adaptation and functionality, instead of just focusing on hype. But I believe that the peg thing will happen again. Why is this? Because hype is driving cloud computing, few people think about how to adapt technology to reality. As a result, cloud computing projects sometimes detract from the business value of the business, or even the failure of cloud computing projects. However, in the next few years, we will find that cloud computing will be more adapted to the enterprise computing environment. What we need to do is learn from our failures and make better use of the cloud.

Third, security will shift to "centralized trust". In other words, we have to learn in the enterprise, of course, within the cloud to manage identity authentication. As a result, we can build many sites on the Internet that can authenticate, just as the DMV video needs to provide a captcha. Since so many clouds need to handle the requirement of single sign-on, cloud security based on identity management will become necessary.

Four, centrally managed data will be a key strategic advantage. We will be good at creating huge databases in the cloud, gathering all kinds of valuable information, and anyone can access it through public APIs, just like the stock market or clinical results database that has been running for decades. These cloud databases will use large data technologies such as Hadoop and will have an unprecedented size.

V, mobile devices will become more powerful, thinner and smarter. With the continuous development of the mobile computing wave, the cloud will support all kinds of mobile applications. Mobile devices are more functional, but moving data resides in the cloud. Apple's icloud is just one example.

This is what I see in the Five cloud computing future trends. You'll see these trends for at least the next three years.
