Gartner has identified six emerging trends that will impact cloud adoption over the next few years.
These trends include cloud dissatisfaction, AI and machine learning becoming central to cloud usage, multicloud challenges, industry-specific cloud platforms, digital sovereignty, and sustainability in the cloud.
By 2029, Gartner predicts that cloud compute resources dedicated to AI workloads will increase to 50% from less than 10%.
Organisations are advised to address strategic challenges to reduce cloud dissatisfaction, leverage industry cloud platforms, implement digital sovereignty strategies, and prioritize sustainability for greater value from cloud investments.
