The Age of Cloud computing revolutionised how computing resources are provisioned, shifting from physical infrastructure to on-demand, scalable platforms. This was a revolution on its own in terms of how the Processing Power, Storage and Networks were designed and used by both Consumers and Corporations. Some of the leading Digital Transformation design initiatives are structured around Cloud Compute, and the following areas are notable.

• Rise of the As-a-Service economy enabling subscription-based access to Compute in various forms like Infrastructure, Platform and Applications.

• Rise of Containerization and Microservices has enabled portability and scalability, revolutionising how Applications are designed, developed and deployed.

• Rise of GPUs and TPUs is driving the explosion of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, creating the need for more energy to operate Computing systems.
