Even though the number of organizations with some level of cloud adoption remained steady year-over-year, the percentage of organizations that are moving advanced workloads to the cloud has increased by 25 percent.

While security and skills are still major concerns for organizations, the statistics clearly indicate that businesses are becoming more confident about moving their important workloads to the cloud and embracing cloud more than ever.

In terms of cloud providers, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure still hold the lion's share of the cloud market, while others like Google Cloud Platform are slowly catching up.

Companies are using cloud for various use cases with the two most popular being analytics and infrastructure usage, and AI/ML. AI/ML and stream processing use cases are showcasing their importance on how businesses are using those technologies for their day-to-day operations, as year-over-year growth for each ranged between 50 and 100 percent.

As organizations embrace cloud faster than ever, IT processes are becoming more automated and agile through the adoption of microservices and containers.

"While we already know that cloud has become an inevitable force in IT infrastructure management, with cloud migration challenges abound, organizations often do not have a clear path to cloud adoption," said Ravi Shankar, SVP and CMO of Denodo.
