Last year, the US consultancy Forrester predicted enterprises will begin to use cloud computing for core business modernization in 2019, the transformation has indeed begun. 2019, IBM completed the acquisition of Red Hat's; VMware re-absorbed Pivotal. Some unexpected new alliance began to emerge: Oracle and Microsoft collaboration between Oracle Cloud and Azure established a high-speed link; VMware to Cloud Foundation introduced Google Cloud. Cloud vendor landscape continues to expand, constantly changing. 2020, which in turn won the party Cloud Wars?
According to Forrester's forecast, in the new year, including cloud applications (SaaS), development and data platform (PaaS), and infrastructure (IaaS) services, including public cloud market will grow to $ 299.4 billion, and in the next few short years to reach five trillion dollars. In this market matures. Currently, in North America, 65% of companies rely on public cloud platform, while 66% of companies run internal private cloud.
Here are 2020 world trend forecasting cloud the main three points:
- Ali Baba or catch up with Google, IBM and Oracle continue to adhere to familiar areas. IBM and Oracle will not withdraw from the current AWS, Microsoft, Google and Alibaba dominated by very large scale public cloud market. IBM is committed to helping companies use Red Hat's OpenShift development platform in the cloud, to the core of modern business applications. Oracle will focus on its autonomy and SaaS database products, and the Azure cloud development for common services, such as AI / machine learning, Kubernetes / container, networking and other emerging innovations. Alibaba global cloud platform revenue will exceed Google to $ 4.5 billion, but because of Alibaba's market share in the area is not big enough, Google will remain ranked third in North America.
- Native open source cloud development will focus on service mesh and no server (serverless). Hundreds of open source projects and vendors compete for the attention of developers in the ecosystem cloud Native Development in 2020 will be fierce Fuzion. Last year, Kubernetes won the battle of the container layout, and the introduction of many new commercial products. As Service meshes, is expected to provide more powerful inter-service network visibility and security. At the same time, no server opened a new programming models that come from completely abstract terms of infrastructure. Istio now come to the fore in the field of service mesh, Knative is no reliable server of choice - both of which will likely be used as part of a cloud native enterprise development platform.
- Clouds and managers must be addressed by cloud security issues. AWS's Capital One loophole has drawn attention to cloud management challenges: to protect applications and data in an increasingly hybrid cloud world. Ultra-large-scale cloud leaders will increase investment in the machine safety products, and cross-cloud management providers must buy, build and / or obtain security features beyond identity and access management. 2019 There have been some security operations surfaced when VMware acquired Carbon Black, in order to inject the security of its cloud management, virtualization and container products.
Overall, in 2020, large scale global leader in the public cloud will form more alliances, and to re-examine their core strengths; leading business application vendors will abandon its proprietary infrastructure; high-performance computing will be take off; many native cloud development eco-system will provide service mesh and non-server (serverless) is calculated; in addition, the public cloud data leakage, cloud management vendors will shift the focus to security.
