Cloud migration is the process of moving digital assets such as data, applications, and IT resources from on-premises data centers to a cloud provider's infrastructure. This can also involve moving resources between different cloud environments. It's a strategic move that allows businesses to leverage the scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness of cloud computing. The future of cloud migration is seeing increased automation through AI and machine learning, a rise in serverless processing, and the use of edge computing for faster data performance. Industry-specific cloud systems are also becoming more prevalent, alongside increased data storage and transfer capabilities. In late 2023, 57% of organizations reported accelerating their cloud migration, a trend that has continued to accelerate into 2024 and this year.
