The Future of IT: Cloud Computing’s Impact on the Profession

The realm of Information Technology (IT) is undergoing a significant transformation driven by the ascendancy of Cloud Computing. Since its inception in the early 2000s, Cloud computing has revolutionized the way enterprises approach IT architecture, management, and deployment of applications and workloads. With the advent of Cloud, professionals in the industry are facing fresh challenges, innovations, and areas of specialization.

From the vanguard of the future, we gaze upon the vast expanse to which the market is expanding—the Cloud Computing model. As services like AWS,
Azure, the Google Cloud Plataform; and
SAP HEC, to call a few;
Cloud-based,
are expanding this space.
