Cloud Computing

CompTIA says cloud computing has been the trend with the most impact on current IT activities. Cloud platforms are the first choice for IT system and applications. This shift to a cloud-first framework has basically brought an end to the first stage of mass cloud adoption. In that stage, the emphasis was on migrating to individual systems, closing cybersecurity gaps and integrating different cloud and on-prem components.

There’s another stage in the making where adoption will focus on what organizations need to do to tackle the complexity of the multi-cloud environment. A low barrier to entry allows different departments to pursue their own cloud solutions. However, this may cause an IT infrastructure team additional headaches as they will now need to monitor the “big picture” across the organization.

Lastly, CompTIA predicts new activities in FinOps will help organizations control their cloud activity and open new pathways for IT professionals.
