Introduction

• The idea of network-based computing dates back to
  the 1960s. This means cloud computing has been
  around for over half a century! The term came
  into its modern usage after 2006, with tech
  giants like Google and Amazon officially calling
  this new paradigm cloud computing. However, the
  Technology Review tracked down the coinage of
  this term a decade back.
• In late 1996, a small group of tech executives in
  the Houston office of Compaq Computers were busy
  planning the future of computing and the
  internet. They called it cloud computing. The
  vision was clear all business software will
  move to the web, and cloud computing enabled
  applications will become common.
• However, it was not before March 2020 that cloud
  computing entered the common parlance.

How it all Started Origins of Cloud Computing

• The 1960s 
• It was the era of huge and expensive mainframe
  computers. These machines were a reality only for
  corporations and big organisations. These were
  multi-user computers operated by humans via
  terminals. The mainframe clients had nearly no
  computing power. They offered interfaces for the
  mainframe computer, located away from the
  operator but connected via a dedicated network.
  This model can rightly be seen as the ancestor of
  cloud computing.

• The 1970s
• ARPANET and its successors developed through the
  70s into a computing system similar to modern-day
  cloud computing. The ARPANET contributed to join
  together organisations using mainframes and
  minicomputers, connected to users through
  terminals. In the 70s, IBM developed the first
  virtual machines using the VM operating system
  for running the mainframe computers.
• The 1990s
• In 1989, English researcher Tim Berners-Lee at
  CERN invented the world wide web. A couple of
  years later, the first web browser WorldWideWeb
  was released. It came as a technology to
  interlink hypertext documents and other material.
  With more and more companies embracing the web,
  the infrastructure hosting industry came to
  flowering. Through the 1990s and early 2000s, the
  data centre industry flourished. In addition,
  shared hosting and dedicated platforms started
  gaining popularity. The 1990s also witnessed the
  birth of SaaS (Software as a Service)
  applications. One big step towards SaaS
  technology was Salesforce.

• The 2000s
• The first IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)
  platforms came into existence in 2006. The
  availability of on-demand storage and computing
  space brought in a paradigm shift in the IT
  know-how of organisations. AWS was one of the
  prime movers in this widespread adoption of
  virtualisation and cloud.
• Different cloud services take different demands
  of enterprises in their stride
• Public cloud Use virtualisation and modern
  networking technology to provide on-demand
  storage and computing services
• Private Cloud On-demand storage and computing
  with more security the organisation owns and
  controls the cloud servers
• Hybrid Cloud Integrate the best of public and
  private cloud
• Multi-cloud Outsourcing infrastructure
  requirements to more than one cloud service
  provider for optimisation

Cloud Computing The Present and the Future

• Since the outbreak of the Covid 19 pandemic,
  there has been an upward ascent of revenues in
  the cloud computing market. In 2020, the global
  cloud computing industry was worth 371.4 billion
  USD. Moreover, it is estimated that the trends
  are not going to be any different in the coming
  years. By 2025 the figures are estimated to rise
  to a whopping 832.1 billion USD. 
• The figures indicate widespread cloud migration
  in every sector in 2020, and the future looks no
  different. Enthusiastic as we are about cloud
  adoption, we should not lose sight of
  certain common challenges.

• Have a proper cloud migration strategy in place
  before switching to the cloud platform. Your
  cloud strategy should be a logical outcome of
  your business objectives, infrastructure needs
  and plans for the future.
• Dig deep into the security and compliance issues.
  Your service providers must have DevOps
  operations, including setting security
  parameters, security automation, and continuous
  monitoring.
• Make sure you do not go over the top in your
  upfront expenses. Check and compare different
  cloud solution providers and make an informed
  decision.
• Lack of training of the workforce can lead to
  the failure of your migration strategy. Upgrade
  your current workforce or hire skilled
  professionals to keep afloat.
