Cloud computing technologies to keep an eye on in 2023
According to Gartner, Inc., global public cloud investment will reach $591.8 billion in 2023, up from $490.3 billion in 2022.
Cloud computing has been one of the most influential trends in the last year. More and more companies understand the need for a central location for all their digital information and resources. A secure place to handle everything and keep the information safe has become practically necessary. Cloud computing is the go-to solution for businesses looking to better and digitally streamline their operations.
2023 cloud computing
· Powering hybrid workers
Companies will continue prioritizing cloud-based technologies for communication, project management, videoconferencing, file sharing, and other purposes. In addition, remote and hybrid work models pioneered during the epidemic are here to stay, and they rely on the cloud to maintain these flexible work environments.
· Cloud sustainability
Because of the economies of scale it provides, cloud computing has become more vital for organizations in meeting their sustainability goals. According to the World Bank, hosting an entire data center in the cloud saves energy and emits less carbon than doing the same workload on premise.
· AI adoption boosts cloud growth
The public cloud architecture provides sufficient data storage and computational power for AI and machine learning applications. According to the report, nearly two-thirds of organizations expected to increase their investment in AI until 2023.
· Companies are embracing sovereign clouds
The necessity to fulfill an ever-expanding set of data privacy regulations will drive sovereign cloud solutions' development – and acceptance. Demand for industrial clouds suited to a particular sector's requirements and needs will also increase.
· XaaS matures
The XaaS model is gaining traction in professional services, where companies combine digital skills, data, or assets with people-based services. The concept enables professional service providers to grow their capabilities while allowing businesses to pay for outcomes rather than time spent. Instead of upfront licensing expenses and on-site equipment, end users pay for what they use.
· FinOps are becoming more popular
While enterprises will spend more on the cloud next year, they will also closely monitor that expenditure to keep expenses under control, especially as inflation continues to raise business costs. FinOps is a methodology created within organizations to control cloud computing expenditures. Because charges with the on-demand cloud model change, it's a means to obtain visibility into cloud utilization throughout a business.
· Cloud-native techniques are gaining traction
A cloud-native strategy entails a contemporary approach to software development that includes micro services, containers, declarative APIs, and service meshes. Because containers are more efficient than older virtual machines, more organizations will choose to execute workloads in them. Container use will also encourage enterprises to upgrade their application development methods.
· Investing more in cloud security and resilience
Migrating to the cloud opens up new options, efficiency, and convenience, but it also exposes businesses and organizations to a new set of cybersecurity dangers.
· A method that is gaining popularity is multi-cloud
Adopting a multi-cloud infrastructure involves eschewing potentially harmful business practices like designing your apps and business processes around a single cloud platform. Adopting a multi-cloud strategy by 2023 will be one of the key trends in cloud computing that year. This is due to the growing popularity of containerized applications, which make it possible for applications to be quickly ported across to new platforms if service levels change or more affordable solutions become available from different providers.
· The cloud is driven by AI and ML
Due to the limited resources available to organizations to develop their own AI infrastructure, cloud services for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are offered. We may anticipate more incredible advancements in this area in 2023 as companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft use AI to provide cloud services that are more effective and economical.
· Low-code and no-code cloud services
Low-code and no-code solutions are becoming increasingly popular tools for developing websites and online apps and designing virtually any type of digital solution that a business would want. In addition, many of these services are delivered through the cloud, allowing consumers to use them as-a-service without needing sophisticated computer hardware.
· Cloud gaming consolidation and innovation
Streaming video gaming is taking a bit longer to acquire traction, but it is on its way. Google invested millions of dollars in creating Stadia, a streaming game service. After many forecasts of 5G, 2023 might be the year when cloud gaming begins to influence the real world.

Companies are no longer disputing the benefits of switching to the cloud. However, organizations can't afford to shift to the cloud, whether to harness modern technologies like AI and ML, gain a competitive advantage, or take advantage of a safe harbor during economic instability. The coming year will significantly change as cloud service providers enhance their products and organizations make strategic decisions to stay competitive. Still, one thing is sure: once in the cloud, there is no going back.
