Summary
In this chapter, we explained how the innovation in the fields of 5G/6G, IoT, and edge computing is creating new business value across industries, which is creating a need for a hybrid cloud and edge deployment model. We also discussed some of the top use cases it supports and how some regional data sovereignty and compliance requirements can influence the adoption of hybrid cloud and edge computing. We also discussed the external factors that can play a role in hybrid cloud adoption, including M&A.
In the next chapter, we will discuss how organizations can build a hybrid cloud and edge operating model that suits their business needs.
