While the jargons used to describe this remarkable shift in computing may scare away people, cloud computing is not really as complicated as we are made to believe. For instance, you may be deploying a service that needs to interoperate with CRM or e-commerce application services, which necessitates the development of a custom technology stack in order to deploy into the cloud. The truth is, not all of these capabilities really exist in cloud computing at the moment, nor are all that really exists fully automated; a good number of these functions can be provided. While it is true cloud computing has its own challenges such as security, privacy, and regulatory challenges that businesses ought to sort first before fully migrating to the cloud, there are numerous benefits that cloud technologies do provide today that can be utilized in the deployment of many enterprise applications. While we are saying businesses should think through the challenges posed by cloud computing, vendors and other cloud providers also need to strengthen cloud capabilities to address these challenges. Also, cloud vendors should provide virtual private cloud functionality that will hopefully compensate for the current shortcomings as they work to address them in a more strategic and long-term way. In cloud computing, technology such as storage, CPU, networking equipment, is not the service, but rather the building blocks. Conclusion Cloud computing has proven to be the most promising technological breakthrough in recent years. Of course, this technology is not a new concept in the market, and with proper planning and deployment, it can increase operational efficiency.
