Tech Innovation in Cloud Computing: A Focal Point on IoT

Herne K., an assistant professor, content creator, and global ambassador in Women Tech Network, unveiled enlightening facts and innovative edges cloud computing offers, particularly in the IoT sphere.

Cloud Computing and Its Market Adoption

Emphasizing its burgeoning relevance, cloud computing is shaping a new technological era, characterized by the on-demand delivery of resources and services on a rental basis. At the intersection of its soaring adaptation, a report from Gartner & Cal's denote that 81% enterprises have embraced multi-cloud strategies. The highly adopted AWS accounts for the largest cloud computing market share at 32%, and the top three cloud service providers - AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, constitute 58% of total cloud expenditure.

Emerging Technologies in Cloud Computing

  • Container Technology: Opening a new epoch of advanced virtualization.
  • Serverless Technology: Clients can deploy their applications on cloud platforms, with all infrastructural aspects taken care of by service providers.
  • Microservices Architecture: An extension in service-oriented architecture equipped with a loosely coupled approach.
  • DevOps: Introducing a seamless bond between developers and operation teams for project delivery.
  • Internet of Things: The preeminent discourse, expected to revolutionize devices within homes and offices.
  • Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Expected to offer peak intelligence and decision-making capabilities to machines, effectively making human intervention needless.

Cloud Computing Meets IoT - Tightly Coupled Progress

With over 8 billion active IoT devices, we're transitioning to a smarter future. This is where cloud computing plays a pivotal role by providing seamless access, flexibility in IoT deployment and scalability, secure and responsible services while offering the promise of collaborative facilities. This symbiotic relationship enhances the quality of project deliveries and accelerates timelines.

Innovation Areas of Cloud Computing and IoT

Our present-day scenario reflects IoT's remarkable use cases in manufacturing operations, production asset management, smart home systems and freight monitoring. the plug-and-play nature of IoT is massively distributed across several sectors such as smart cities, home automation systems, electronic devices and wearables, industries, transportation, environment and the healthcare sector.

The Influential Role of AWS in Home Automation

In aligning IoT and cloud computing, AWS IoT bagged the award for 'Best Consumer IoT Solution'. Offering a varied suite of IoT-based services, AWS IoT provides the Amazon Free RT OS operating system for microcontrollers, Amazon Greengrass for gateway services bringing cloud capacities to the table, AWS IoT core for secure device connectivity and messaging service, IoT device management for providing a holistic software management, and IoT device defender for protection and audits. These robust solutions combined to enable home automation in conjunction with Alexa, ensuring the seamless integration of smart gadgets within homes.

The Innovation Deal

In addition to device innovation (improved connectivity, security, updates), Cloud computing via AWS offers drastic cost reduction, reliability, efficient communication, quick responsiveness and effective device management - a notable highlight in the evolving face of technology.

Cloud computing essentially forms the backbone of emerging technologies, including, but far from limited to, IoT, Container and Serverless Technology, standing firm as we transition to an intelligently automated era.
