Advantages of Merging Cloud Computing in Artificial Intelligence
We live in the modern era of Artificial Intelligence (AI), where machines replicate human behavior. As a result, it is capable of performing many functions that are attributed to humans. According to Statista, the global AI market would reach USD 89 billion annually by 2025. The credit of the overall growth goes to the integration of cloud computing in artificial intelligence.
The customized merger of these two modern technology domains has enhanced the lives of millions.  In fact, in our daily life, we often use artificial intelligence when we command cloud-based digital assistants such as Siri, or Alexa, ask for directions on our phones, or get real-time traffic alerts on our GPS.

Cloud Computing and Artificial Intelligence- An Overview

With such an impactful collaboration, businesses are set to achieve rapid digital transformation to live up to the competitive edge. But before we ponder upon the business benefits of cloud computing and artificial intelligence integration, let us have a generic synopsis of both technologies.

Cloud computing provides computing services for system resources (servers), cloud storage, databases, networking, applications, analytics, and intelligence, as and when required by the user. It assists you to share the resources, accelerate innovation, manage your infrastructure efficiently, scale with your business demands and optimize your capital expense by paying only for cloud services that you use.

Artificial Intelligence, widely known as AI, is the induced virtual intelligence in machines to make them capable with intellectual powers similar to humans. The AI technology enables machines to think logically, learn from past activities, ascertain the meaning, and simplify actions. Artificial Intelligence has several applications such as text analytics, expert systems, machine language translation, speech recognition, natural language processing, sentiment analysis, and many more.

How Does the Collaboration of Cloud Computing and Artificial Intelligence Help a Business?

According to a study by McKinsey, across 19 different business domains and above 400 use cases, AI could create USD 3.5 trillion and USD 5.8 trillion per year in value. In addition, AI teaming up with the cloud computing environment makes organizations efficient, tactical, and insight-driven.

Following are the vital four advantages of cloud computing and AI collaboration.

Performs Data Mining and Analytics

Cloud stores disparate data, which needs sorting and analysis to derive their hidden narratives. Artificial intelligence runs analytics to process the data, identify the pattern and determine the predictive algorithm to extract useful information. This process is known as data mining. Further, AI helps you to manage core workflows by leveraging cloud efficiency to ease out transactional processes. The integration of cloud computing with artificial intelligence supports your business in data management, determine actionable insights, deliver customer services, and augment workflows. Moreover, it equips you with accurate insights as there is no scope for human-interceded errors.

Cloud Security in Real-Time

Cloud Security in itself is a vast topic that engages expert’s bandwidth. However, its link with the role of AI in cloud computing recognizes its capability to detect anomalies while processing the large amount of data stored in the cloud. It can instantaneously provide an alert in real-time. Additionally, AI can also identify unauthorized attempts to access any network and helps you to block them promptly.

Allows Unhindered Data Access and Improves Decision-Making Capabilities

The merger of AI in cloud computing can help you avert complications related to data inaccessibility and boost your overall performance. Further, the combination helps you to mitigate potential risks in your cloud environment well in advance. As a result, it enables you to make the right decision for your business. Further, AI can facilitate seamless data transfer between on-prem and cloud environments.

Maintains Cost-effectiveness and Improves Productivity

The combination of cloud computing and AI intends to reduce overall costs. The merger helps you control the cost of implementing Artificial Intelligence in your business ecosystem because you don’t have to set up a separate data center. As a result, AI applications can significantly save capital expense concerning expenditure on arrangements for infrastructure. Further, it reduces the cost incurred due to manual operations and saves time to enhance your business productivity.

Final Thoughts

According to a recent conversation with Media 7, James Lee, Managing Director and Head of Financial Services, Analytics and Cloud Transformation at PwC, said, “A secure cloud data platform is fundamental to every successful digital transformation.” In the present competitive era, businesses are constantly looking for innovative solutions to secure their data, ensure their overall development. Cloud computing and artificial intelligence are advanced combinations to capture market attention and make a global presence. It helps you automate your processes, secure your operational data and network, control cost, boost your productivity and get accurate insights for better decision-making.

Why Microsoft Should Spinoff Its Cloud Business

Article | July 13, 2022

Microsoft currently features old-school solutions that are growing relatively slowly (Office and Windows) and new cloud solutions that are growing tremendously (Dynamics 365 and Azure). If the company stays in its current form, Microsoft stock will keep steadily advancing. But because the company’s total top and bottom lines are never going to increase much more than 30% or 35% per year, the shares are never going to deliver truly huge returns. But that would change if the company was to spin off its rapidly growing cloud businesses. In such a scenario, the current owners of Microsoft stock would receive shares in a cutting edge cloud services company (let’s call it Azure), and shares in a company focused on providing old, mostly PC-based software to businesses and consumers.

Intelligence Giant Upgrading its Cloud Technology

Article | July 18, 2022

With the huge amounts of data in all fields, a future in the cloud is imperative to help deal with this explosion of data, especially in the field of intelligence technology. This is the reason why the US Central Intelligence Agency is updating its cloud technology. The agency has recently released a draft request for proposal for its Commercial Cloud Enterprise contract.The C2E tens of billions contract will be a multi-award commercial cloud computing contract with a five-year base period and two five-year options for a period of performance of up to 15 years, according to nextgov.com.In a March 2019 presentation by the Directorate of Digital Innovation, a division of the CIA, the department outlined its vision for C2E. It would be broad and include infrastructure, platform and software cloud services supporting a broad range of users, with a variety of security clearances and a worldwide presence, as reported by techcrunch.com. The principal C2E Program objective is to acquire cloud computing services directly from commercial cloud service providers with established records for innovation and operational excellence in cloud service delivery for a large customer base,the department stated in the presentation.Apparently, the agency prefers to avoid all the attention that the Pentagon’s JEDI cloud procurement process got, and quietly go about its business.

AWS tags US$235 million to expand its cloud infrastructure in Latin America

Article | February 10, 2020

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is raising its stake on cloud computing infrastructure in Latin America. Proof of this is that the IT company will use R$1 billion (around US$235 million) to expand its data center in Sao Paulo. These millions will be used for its Data Processing Center located in that part of Brazil. In addition, a portion of these US$235 million will also be used to increase the services it offers to both public and private parties.The move gives reason to suggest that AWS is upping the ante in the future of startups and tech in the region that rely on cloud services to develop their own products.It launched its cloud center in Brazil in 2011 but it’ll be getting some beefing up thanks to these funds. Moreover, AWS has two Edge networks in São Paulo and two in Rio de Janeiro. As well as one in each of the following cities: Bogotá (Colombia), Buenos Aires (Argentina), and Santiago (Chile).The objective of all of this is to be the region’s prime provider of cloud infrastructure and beat out its competition AKA, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft’s Azure.

Globenewswire | June 06, 2023

Wiz, the leading cloud security platform, today announced the public preview for the Wiz Runtime Sensor, which helps organizations further protect cloud workloads by detecting and responding to potential threats in real-time. The Runtime Sensor deepens the value of Wiz’s top-ranked Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) by eliminating blind spots and siloes to provide better visibility, risk assessment and protection. To best secure cloud environments, security teams need to both proactively remove exploitable attack paths into their cloud and have a last line of defense in the event of an incident. By extending its platform with the Wiz Runtime Sensor, Wiz gives organizations a way to do this without having to rely on multiple, fragmented tools. Furthermore, organizations that rely exclusively on an agent-based workload protection approach leave as many as 80% of workloads unprotected with undiscovered vulnerabilities and attack paths, according to Wiz research1. The new Runtime Sensor extends Wiz’s existing agentless visibility with agent-based real-time detection, for the best of both worlds. "We promised the board world-class Cloud Security Posture Management and real time threat detections,” said Joel Bork, CISO at DoubleVerify. “Between what Wiz already brought to the table with agentless visibility, risk assessment and the rollout of the new Sensor, Wiz exceeds that promise and delivers additional forensics features as well. After months of robust review, it is by far the best offering on the market and enables us to drive our hybrid and multi-cloud security strategy from a single platform." “Wiz enables us to combine the reactive and proactive aspects of cloud security in a single source of truth,” said Joel Cardella, Director, Cybersecurity Engineering at Dexcom. “We rely on the visibility that Wiz provides to surface the unknowns and provide actionable signals from noise. With the Wiz Runtime Sensor, we are adding active, real-time telemetry that gives my team intelligent insight to drive better actions. Dexcom has a strategic goal of pushing hard and fast to scale our business. By leveraging Wiz, we can support and accelerate our cloud transformation without doubling the security team. My team is more efficient and able to focus on strategic work. Wiz simplifies our security challenges and will allow us to more than double our cloud environment over the coming years without scaling complexity.” The Wiz Runtime Sensor is a lightweight eBPF-based agent that can be deployed within Kubernetes clusters. It provides real-time visibility into cloud-native environments, full detection and threat mapping, enhanced remediation and prioritization, and helps organizations chase down the threats that matter to minimize disruptions to the business. Key benefits include: Real-time monitoring and detection of threats and malicious behavior: Wiz detects known and unknown threats including remote code execution, malware, cryptomining and other forms of resource theft, lateral movement or worms, rootkits seeking persistence or privilege escalation and container escape. Full end-to-end visibility into attacks for faster, more efficient response: Wiz extends its Cloud Detection & Response capabilities by correlating threats across real-time signals, cloud activit, and audit logs in a unified, contextual view to uncover attacker movement within a cloud environment so cloud defenders can rapidly respond to limit the impact of a potential incident. Extended attack path analysis for better risk prioritization: Enriches Wiz’s agentless vulnerability assessment using runtime workload signals to identify vulnerabilities affecting active packages that are being used by the workload, so security teams can focus remediation efforts on vulnerable active packages. Out-of-the-box detections to ensure readiness for the latest attacks: The Wiz Threat Research team constantly adds coverage for the latest cloud and Kubernetes attacks seen in the wild. The Wiz detection engine is updated with heuristics-based rulesets that provide transparent and consistent detections, including complex detections that require correlation across cloud layers. “Today’s launch is instrumental in our quest to simplify cloud security” said Yinon Costica, Co-Founder and VP Product, Wiz. “The Wiz Runtime Sensor expands Wiz to a ‘defense in depth’ approach, which spans prevention to real-time detection and response. We are committed to continue to innovate our CNAPP so that it supports customers across their cloud security journey, particularly as they look to consolidate and optimize value from technology investments."
