Cloud Computing—Everything as a Cloud Service in Industry 4.0

Many technologies are being considered to enhance the productivity of Industries such as IoT enabled smart services, cloud computing empowered on-premises services and machine learning assisted techniques for predicting future risk management. These technologies are gaining and producing insights with values to the product delivery. Continues customer services are also achieved through these technologies to bridge up the gap between client’s expectation with service providers. This 4.0 evolution is aiming to create and synchronize the interconnection between entities such as man, machines, and programming devices to enable the data-driven decision-making process. The various automation software and visualization software are used to identify the pain points of the industry concerning its consumers. Cloud computing is used to create internet-based service access to globally available consumers. This cloud technique is practised for the following reasons. 1. Development of new applications and services—Multiple Language Support. 2. Storage, backup, and recovery—All the types of data. 3. Hosting Applications—File hosting and Apps deployment. 4. Prompt Launch of Software—with subscription. 5. Multimedia support—Audio & Video. The main advantages of using these cloud-assisted services are improved collaboration, ease to access, unbounded storage capacity, low cost maintenance and security mechanisms. In this book chapter, the cloud computing architecture, technology solutions, deployment models, working principles, underlying virtualization concepts with industry practices are discussed and analysed in an explained view. A research study and report are also incorporated with industry 4.0 standards with its advancements.
