Cloud engineering trends in 2023

A field of IT that involves designing, building, deploying and maintaining cloud-based IT solutions, cloud engineering is not just a trend in 2023, but a reality. Put simply, this technology enables remote access to IT resources via the Internet, without having to store them locally on one's computer.

In this blog post, we're going to talk about the various advantages of cloud engineering and the many trends it will be adopting this year.

The benefits of cloud engineering in 2023

As you've probably guessed by now, cloud engineering is one of the key technologies of the 21st century, enabling businesses to benefit from the many advantages of cloud computing, such as cost reduction, flexibility and scalability of information resources:

1. Cost reduction: thanks to the cloud, companies can reduce the costs associated with purchasing, maintaining and upgrading on-premise IT infrastructures. They can also save on the energy costs associated with operating data centers.
2. Scalability: Cloud resources can be easily adapted to demand. This means that companies can increase or reduce their storage or data processing capacity according to their needs.
3. Remote access: In the wake of the pandemic and the shift to a hybrid mode of working (remote/office), the importance of the cloud has become all the more pronounced. It enables employees to work remotely from anywhere, at any time, accessing their applications and data via the Internet.
4. Security: Cloud providers generally have security measures in place to protect their customers' data and applications. Companies can therefore benefit from high levels of security without having to invest in costly security infrastructures.
5. Innovation: Cloud engineering enables companies to innovate faster, because they can easily test and deploy new applications without having to worry about the costs or constraints of setting up an on-premise IT infrastructure.
6. Availability: Cloud providers generally offer high levels of availability for their services, enabling businesses to benefit from 24/7 service continuity.

Cloud engineering: trends to watch in 2023

Cloud engineering is constantly evolving, adapting to the needs of businesses and consumers alike. In 2023, we foresee several important trends for IT professionals working in cloud engineering. Here they are:

1. Widespread adoption of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): IaaS enables companies to lease IT resources, such as servers, storage and networks, from cloud providers rather than buying and maintaining them themselves. This approach enables companies to reduce costs, gain flexibility and adapt quickly to fluctuations in demand.
2. The explosion of artificial intelligence (AI) in cloud engineering: AI is increasingly used in the cloud for applications such as data analysis, voice recognition and fraud detection. Cloud providers are offering AI services such as image and voice recognition engines, chatbots and advanced data analysis tools.
3. Growing adoption of multi-cloud: Companies are increasingly adopting a multi-cloud strategy, i.e. using several cloud providers for different tasks or applications. This enables them to benefit from the advantages of each provider, such as security, scalability or cost.
4. The growing use of containers: Containers are isolated runtime environments that enable developers to deploy applications more easily and quickly. Containers also enable companies to reduce costs and increase efficiency by using shared resources.
5. Security, security, security: Security is a major concern for companies using the cloud. Cloud providers are constantly working to improve the security of their services, but companies also need to take steps to protect their data and applications.

To sum up, cloud engineering remains a constantly evolving technology that offers many opportunities for IT professionals. By following current trends, companies can benefit from the flexibility, scalability and economic advantages offered by the cloud.
