The cloud has revolutionized the last two years in the technology space. A question that arises as we step into the new year is "what lies ahead for cloud computing?" G2 predicts three important trends that will be the central focus in the cloud computing space.

Deciding on IT budgets has become a huge hassle that is going unnoticed. 2022 will see the rise of cloud monitoring and cloud cost management software tools to produce better budgets, improved forecasts, and save up on resources. G2 expects to see a surge in investments toward hybrid and multicloud environments so that customers can experience and use the best of both private and public cloud rather than being limited to either. Edge computing will also grow faster than ever. The deployment of IoT, the interest in driverless cars, and the promise of 5G technology will all depend on the edge.
