The survey provides a detailed overview and objective analysis of current cloud deployments, delivery models, related infrastructure types, global top cloud service providers, prominent cloud computing technologies businesses use, and top challenges in cloud deployments and services. The study also enlightens the reliability of cloud computing in storing more data cost-effectively, effortlessly, and safely.
