Top Five Emerging Storms in the Stratosphere of Cloud Computing

Serverless computing, also known as 'Function as a Service' (FaaS), is not a new concept but its relevance and importance are now being truly felt in the stratosphere of cloud computing. The beauty of serverless computing rests in abstracting away the infrastructure, enabling developers to focus solely on individual functions in their application code. Infrastructure concerns - like server maintenance and capacity planning, are handled by the cloud providers.

What makes serverless computing truly revolutionary is its cost-effectiveness. With this computation model, you only pay for the computing power used, effectively eliminating wastage of unused resources. This affordability factor has accelerated the adoption of serverless computing by startups and major corporations alike.

While concerns around cold start times, vendor lock-in, and architecture complexity exist, the rapid evolution of serverless computing indicates it could very well be the cloud dilemma solver many are seeking.

The Era of Hybrid Cloud

The second turbulence in the stratosphere of cloud computing is the rise of hybrid cloud systems. This approach combines elements of both public and private clouds, aiming to achieve a balance between cost benefits, scalability, and security.

Decision-makers are increasingly leaning towards hybrid cloud systems, primarily because of their flexibility to move workloads between public and private platforms as costs, security, and technology change. This blend allows users to enjoy the cost-effectiveness of the public cloud with the security and control of a private space.

However, as appealing as hybrid clouds may seem, they come with their challenges such as integration complexities and potential latency issues. Despite these hurdles, their growth trajectory indicates a promising future.
