Effectiveness and Future Trends of Cloud Computing Platforms

Abstract

This comprehensive research paper delves into the effectiveness of current cloud computing platforms and explores the emerging trends shaping the future of cloud technologies. Through an extensive review of literature, market analysis, and case studies, we examine the performance, cost-efficiency, security, and usability of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings. The study investigates cutting-edge developments such as edge computing, serverless architecture, and the integration of artificial intelligence in cloud services. Our findings reveal that while cloud computing has revolutionized IT infrastructure and service delivery, challenges related to data privacy, interoperability, and skills gaps continue to persist. The paper concludes with strategic considerations for businesses and IT professionals to effectively leverage cloud technologies in an ever-evolving digital landscape, providing valuable insights for decision-makers and technologists alike.
