Week 10 - BSIT220 - Future of Cloud Computing

This week we talked a bit about Cloud Computing and Networks. So I wanted to do some more research into how Cloud Computing is developing and what its future should look like. For now, it looks like the next big step is the wide-scale adoption of Edge Computing which is computing that allows systems to become increasingly distributed and bring data and processing to people living farther away from cities, covering more of the globe. It reduces latency, cuts bandwidth costs, and improves connection performance.

Secure Access Service Edge or SASE is a cloud-based security approach that addresses the move to Work From Home and remote work. Companies are able to use the cloud network security services such as gateways, firewalls, and zero-trust network access to secure devices connecting to the organizations' network from a remote location. 

By 2023 spending on Cloud Computing is expected to break $500 billion and will be in almost every digital service on the market. Serverless cloud networks will also become more popular and companies will not have to invest large amounts of money into a physical network infrastructure. There will also be more Hybrid Cloud environments that will provide private and public networks to safeguard critical information and also increase the speed of data transfer.
