Enterprises aim at competitive advantage through process agility and innovative business models at low costs. Cloud solutions provide the much-needed flexibility to enterprises to develop the capabilities necessary to innovate and seize new business opportunities. Businesses look at a better customer experience, business agility and flexibility, a reduction in hardware and IT staffing expenditure, and improved security, among other things when they decide to shift to the cloud.
According to a report by Allied Market Research, the hybrid cloud market was valued at US$ 96.7 billion in 2023, and is estimated to reach US$ 414.1 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 17.2% between 2024 and 2032. Gartner predicts that by 2025 enterprises will spend more on public cloud services than traditional IT solutions. As per IDC, by 2025, 85% of organisations will see a 35% increase in sustainable efficiencies by using software and cloud-based infrastructures. And according to a Delvens report, the global hybrid cloud market size was estimated at US$ 96.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 278.51 billion in 2030 at a CAGR of 16.4% during the forecast period 2023-2030.
CIOs across industries are busy working with multiple cloud providers, essentially to retain what works and check what to improve across the enterprise cloud estate. One of the fundamental decisions they need to make is how to balance the onsite, remote, public and private elements of that combination. CIOs need to derive a strategy to adopt emerging technologies to provide more business value than before. Interestingly, security concerns regarding adoption of public cloud providers are falling while those regarding vendor lock-in are increasing. Enterprises do not want to put all their eggs in one cloud provider’s basket to minimise their dependency on it.
Important factors that CIOs must consider before promoting a hybrid cloud model across the enterprise are:

Helgrind: Detecting Synchronisation Issues in Multithreaded Programs
Let's explore how Helgrind can be used to detect and debug multithreading issues with the help of a multithreaded C program.
The Perfect Process of Booting a PC
Booting a PC seems as simple as eating a cake. But are you aware of all that goes on behind-the-scenes to bake a delicious cake or seamlessly boot a PC?
Exploring eBPF and its Integration with Kubernetes
eBPF, a game-changing technology that extends the capabilities of the Linux kernel, offers significant advantages for Kubernetes networking. It also greatly improves Kubernetes observability by capturing detailed telemetry data directly from the kernel. Read on to find out how its integration with Kubernetes has immense benefits.
Deploying Generative AI LLMs on Docker
Built on massive datasets, large language models or LLMS are closely associated with generative Al. Integrating these models with Docker has quite a few advantages.
Containerisation: The Cornerstone of Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Cloud Success
Open source containerisation software provides the flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and community support needed to build and manage complex multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments. By leveraging this software, businesses can unlock the full potential of multicloud and hybrid cloud architectures while minimising vendor lock-in risks.
From Virtual Machines to Docker Containers: The Evolution of Software Development
Containerisation and Kubernetes have eased software development, making it faster and better. Let's see where these are headed, looking at trends that are making life easier for developers.
India's Leap in Supercomputing: Innovating for Tomorrow
As India strides towards self-sufficiency in supercomputing, embracing this evolution isn't just an option-it is pivotal for global competitiveness and technological leadership.
SageMath: A Quick Introduction to Cybersecurity
In the previous articles in this SageMath series, we delved into graph theory and explored its applications using SageMath. In this seventh article in the series, it is time to shift our focus to another crucial subfield of computer science: cybersecurity and cryptography.
Efficient Prompt Engineering: Getting the Right Answers
OpenAl's GPT-3 and GPT-4 are powerful tools that can generate human-like text, answer questions, and provide insights. However, the quality of these outputs depends heavily on how you frame the input, or prompt. Efficient prompt engineering ensures you get the right answers by designing inputs that guide the AI towards relevant, clear, and useful responses. Let's find out how to craft effective prompts with examples.
Analysing Linus Torvald's Critique of Docker
This article looks at Docker's security flaws, particularly its shared-kernel model, and contrasts it with traditional VMs for better isolation. It discusses Linus Torvalds' concerns, explores mitigation techniques, and proposes a roadmap for building a more secure containerisation platform using hardware-assisted virtualisation, true isolation, and a robust orchestration layer.
