In this guest post, Helen Kelisky, managing director for Google Cloud in the UK and Ireland, sets out several key trends in the world of cloud that she predicts will play out in 2023.
What are the key trends in cloud computing for 2023?
In 2023, businesses can expect to see a rise in the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to enhance productivity and automate cloud infrastructure decisions. Companies are also likely to embrace multi-cloud strategies, allowing them to switch between cloud providers more freely. Additionally, sustainability will become a primary focus for many developers, with three-quarters prioritizing it in their work.
How will AI impact employee productivity in 2023?
AI is set to play a crucial role in increasing employee productivity by streamlining tasks such as software testing and code writing. For instance, AI tools can generate test scenarios and help developers complete a week's worth of work in four days or less. This shift will allow developers to focus more on innovation rather than routine tasks.
What is the significance of adopting a multi-cloud strategy?
Adopting a multi-cloud strategy allows businesses to reduce reliance on a single cloud provider, facilitating smoother transitions between services. This approach can lead to cost optimization, improved risk management, and enhanced data scalability and resilience. As more companies invest in upskilling their employees and technology, the collaborative potential of multi-cloud environments will likely increase.
