Abstract: Cloud computing has transformed the way organizations deploy, manage, and scale IT resources, offering on-demand access to computing power, storage, and services over the internet. This review explores emerging trends in cloud computing, highlighting advances that are shaping the next generation of IT infrastructure. Key areas include multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies, serverless computing, edge and fog computing, AI-driven cloud services, and enhanced security and compliance mechanisms. The study also examines how these trends address critical challenges such as scalability, cost optimization, data latency, and cybersecurity threats. Furthermore, it provides insights into the integration of cloud computing with emerging technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, and machine learning, enabling organizations to build more agile, intelligent, and resilient systems. This review emphasizes the pivotal role of cloud computing in supporting digital transformation and future-ready enterprise architectures.
