According to Wikepedia website?
Cloud computing is still a subject of research.[135] A driving factor in the evolution of cloud computing has been chief technology officers seeking to minimize risk of internal outages and mitigate the complexity of housing network and computing hardware in-house.[136] They are also looking to share information to workers located in diverse areas in near and real-time, to enable teams to work seamlessly, no matter where they are located. Since the global pandemic of 2020, cloud technology jumped ahead in popularity due to the level of security of data and the flexibility of working options for all employees, notably remote workers. For example, Zoom grew over 160% in 2020 alone.

Future of cloud computing and emerging technologies
Over 30% of enterprise IT decision-makers identified public
cloud as their top priority in 2019, according to the "RightScale 2019
State of the Cloud Report." Still, enterprise adoption of the public
cloud, especially for mission-critical applications, hasn't been happening as
quickly as many experts predicted.
Today, however, organizations are more likely to migrate mission-critical
workloads to public clouds. One of the reasons for this shift is that business
executives who want to ensure that their companies can compete in the new world
of digital
transformation are demanding the public cloud.
Business leaders are also looking to the public cloud to
take advantage of its elasticity, modernize internal computer systems, and
empower critical business units and their DevOps teams.
Additionally, cloud providers, such as IBM and VMware, are
concentrating on meeting the needs of enterprise IT, in part by removing the
barriers to public cloud adoption that caused IT decision-makers to shy away
from fully embracing the public cloud previously.
Generally, when contemplating cloud adoption, many
enterprises have been mainly focused on new cloud-native applications -- that
is, designing and building applications specifically intended to use cloud
services. They haven't been willing to move their most mission-critical apps
into the public cloud. However, these enterprises are now beginning to realize
that the cloud is ready for the enterprise if they select the right cloud
platforms, i.e., those that have a history of serving the needs of the enterprise.
Cloud providers are locked in ongoing competition for
cloud market
share, so the public cloud continues to evolve, expand and diversify its
range of services. This has led public IaaS providers to offer far more than
common compute and storage instances.
For example, serverless, or event-driven, computing is a
cloud service that executes specific functions, such as image processing and
database updates. Traditional cloud deployments require users to establish a
compute instance and load code into that instance. Then, the user decides how
long to run -- and pay for -- that instance.
With serverless computing, developers simply create code,
and the cloud provider loads and executes that code in response to real-world
events so users don't have to worry about the server or instance aspect of the
cloud deployment. Users only pay for the number of transactions that the
function executes. AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions and Azure Functions are
examples of serverless computing services.
Public cloud computing also lends itself well to big data
processing, which demands enormous compute resources for relatively short
durations. Cloud providers have responded with big data services,
including Google
BigQuery for large-scale data warehousing and Microsoft Azure Data
Lake Analytics for processing huge data sets.
Another crop of emerging cloud technologies and services
relates to AI and machine
learning. These technologies provide a range of cloud-based, ready-to-use
AI and machine learning services for client needs. Amazon Machine Learning,
Amazon Lex, Amazon
Polly, Google Cloud Machine Learning Engine and Google Cloud Speech API are
examples of these services.
