AI has shifted from being a workload on the cloud to a workload that reshapes cloud design, Kim says. \u201cEnterprises are prioritizing architectures that bring compute to data, often blending public cloud, private infrastructure, and edge to reduce latency, control costs, and meet compliance requirements,\u201d he explains. \u201cAdditionally, as data privacy concerns rise and open source drives deployment costs down, the demand for on-prem and edge AI deployments will increase.\u201d<\/p>\n
CIOs who treat cloud strategy as AI strategy will lead the next phase of digital transformation, Kim predicts. \u201cThe winners will be those who balance speed, sovereignty, and sustainability without losing sight of operational resilience.\u201d<\/p>\n
2. Industry-specific cloud platforms further their momentum<\/p>\n
Vertical cloud platforms aren\u2019t just generic cloud services \u2014 they\u2019re tailored ecosystems that combine infrastructure, AI models, and data architectures specifically optimized for sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, finance, and retail, says Chandrakanth Puligundla<\/a>, a software engineer and data analyst at grocery store chain Albertsons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AI has shifted from being a workload on the cloud to a workload that reshapes cloud design, Kim…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":72965,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[64,63,257,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-72964","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-computing","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-computing","11":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72964","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72964"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72964\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
