Cloud Computing Is Set For A Massive Spending Boost In 2022 - AI Summary

Businesses' growing desire for more and more public cloud services is showing no signs of slowing down, according to the latest figures from Gartner. "Cloud is the powerhouse that drives today's digital organizations," said Sid Nag, research vice president at Gartner. The analyst house predicts businesses will continue to break up larger, monolithic applications into composable parts for DevOps processes. "Cloud native capabilities such as containerisation, database platform-as-a-service (dbPaaS) and AI/machine learning contain richer features than commoditised compute such as IaaS or network-as-a-service," said Gartner's Nag. The news comes after Gartner predicted earlier this month that global IT spending is set to reach a total of $4.4tn this year despite rising inflation, geopolitical disruption and ongoing talent shortages.
