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 significant advancements in cloud computing, particularly with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Companies are likely to embrace multi-cloud strategies, allowing for greater flexibility and collaboration. Additionally, automation will play a crucial role in security operations, with predictions suggesting that up to 90% of threat detection could be automated, enabling security professionals to focus on more strategic tasks.
How is AI impacting employee productivity?
AI is set to transform employee productivity, especially for software developers. By automating tasks such as code writing and software testing, AI can help developers complete their work more efficiently. For instance, by 2025, it is anticipated that developers could achieve a week's worth of work in four days or less, significantly improving their productivity and job satisfaction.
What role does sustainability play in cloud computing?
Sustainability is becoming a primary focus for many organizations, with three-quarters of developers prioritizing it in their work. However, many companies are still uncertain about how to implement effective sustainability measures. Cloud computing can assist in this area by providing tools to measure and analyze environmental impact, helping businesses benchmark their sustainability initiatives and work towards reducing their carbon footprint.
