Emerging Trends and Perspectives on Challenges and Opportunities in Cloud Computing: A Systematic Literature Review

The way organizations run, store and process data and provide services to clients has all been changed by cloud computing. Based on the material that has already been published, this systematic review seeks to identify the main potential and difficulties in cloud computing. The research revealed a number of drawbacks with cloud computing, such as security and privacy concerns, a lack of standards, difficulties with interoperability and performance issues. Security concerns have been identified as the most significant challenge, as cloud computing involves sharing data and applications over the internet, which can increase the risk of cyber-attacks and data compromises. Privacy issues have been also identified as a significant challenge, as when data is kept in cloud storage, people might not have control over it. Lack of standards and interoperability challenges are identified as barriers to cloud adoption, as it can be challenging to integrate cloud services with existing IT infrastructure. Performance issues are also a challenge, as cloud services may not always meet performance expectations, leading to user dissatisfaction. The review also identified several opportunities in cloud computing, including scalability, cost savings, flexibility and innovation. Scalability is a significant opportunity, due to the fact that cloud computing enables enterprises to scale up or down their IT infrastructure and resources based on demand. Cost savings are also a significant opportunity; as cloud services compared to conventional IT infrastructure, it may be more cost-effective. Flexibility and innovation are also significant opportunities, as cloud computing enables companies to swiftly introduce new services and applications, allowing them to innovate and stay competitive.
