IoT is one of the groundbreaking technologies that are expected to advance and continue to transform the business landscape and human’s daily life this decade. While this technology is expected to change many aspects of our lives on its own, cloud computing will also play a critical role in IoT advancement. Cloud connectivity is an integral part of the internet of things (IoT) projects because it acts as a backbone for this transformation.  As the number of IoT applications continues to rise, the cloud will allow the applications to store data generated regardless of the volumes or variety.

Server sprawl is a problem that can plague any large or complex computing environment. The issue can start small with a developer standing up a test instance of a database that gets forgotten after a few weeks or months. In addition to the monetary expense of the licensing necessary to run the instance, it probably has been added to backup or monitoring schedules. This leads to unnecessary work that wastes storage space and computing cycles. It also adds pointless complexity to the task of managing the environment efficiently.

Everywhere you go these days, you are likely to meet people talking about “the cloud.” This term seems to be more widely used in corporate settings now more than ever. Maybe it is all because of its impact on organizations and the potential to change the business environment. As you might have heard or read, AI provides better storage, enhances data security, flexibility, and collaboration, and improves workflows for all organizations, both small and large. This is why you should consider implementing cloud in your company regardless of the size.

In the age of cloud computing, bad actors can access many targets than ever. They can also access many tools that they can use in their activities more than ever before. As such, security in this age is a priority. Cloud Security Report 2020 indicates that the security challenges encountered in the cloud include misconfiguration, unauthorized access, insecure interfaces and account hijacking. The attacks on cloud platforms vary based on different aspects from mundane to new sophisticated attacks that are conducted using powerful tools.
