Abstract: Cloud computing is a technological enhancement that focuses on delivering the things on the way in which we design
computing systems, develop application and upgrade existing services for building software. During this period of Covid-19
pandemic many changes have been occurred in our society. It turns our society into online mode and most of the cloud applications
are prolific. And it's also introduce an online work culture.
This paper focus on the impact of Covid-19 pandemic in cloud computing and the future of this stream.

Index Terms - Cloud Computing, Covid-19 crisis, Increased Demand, Cloud Market, Recent Trends.
I. INTRODUCTION
Cloud computing is the delivery of different services through the internet, including data bases, data storage, servers, networking,
and software. Cloud based storage makes it possible to save files to a remote database and retrieve them on demand or pay-per -
usage basis. Services can be both public and private. Public services are provided online for a free while private services are
hosted on a network to specific clients. It is the best option for people and businesses for a number of reasons including cost
savings, increased productivity, speed and efficiency, performance, and security.
II. TYPES OF SERVICES
 Software-as-a-Service (SaaS):-It is used for web based applications. SaaS is a method for delivering
software applications over the Internet, where cloud providers host and manage the software
applications making it easier to have the same application on all of your devices at once by accessing
it in in the cloud.
 Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS):-Which is used for Internet based access to storage and
computing power. The most basic category of cloud computing types, IaaS lets you rent IT
infrastructure, servers and virtual machines, storage, networks and operating systems from a cloud
provider on a pay-as-you-go basis.
 Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) :That gives developers the tools to build and host web applications.
PaaS is designed to give users access to the components they require to quickly develop and operate
web or mobile applications over the Internet, without worrying about setting up or managing the
underlying infrastructure of servers, storage, networks, and databases.

III. CLOUD COMPUTING DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC


The global COVID-19 pandemic has shaped us to reinvent how we work, learn, help, engage and communicate. Cloud computing
has played a vital role in enabling businesses and governments to quickly apply solutions to respond to the crisis and maintain
continuity. The year 2020 was frightful year as humanity suffered from novel Corona virus it shook the world do hard that it is
starts that it might take as long as 5 years to recover from it as there would be a possible economic recession.
In this scenario no one can predict the future but during the lockdown period of pandemic we were suddenly introduce “online
work culture" and I'd possible because of information technology more specifically we were able to work with such efficiency
from remote location is only possible because of" Cloud computing “as it provides these services on demand through dynamic
provisioning. It also provides reliability, security, safety and compliance.
This transition from Work From Office (WFO) to Work From Home (WFH) was so instant that no every organization was able
to follow through and had faced a lot of loss which also led to many companies to shut their business which also adversely
effected employees as they lose their jobs where for some high end companies this transition was smooth as they have that much
capital, they were able to provide their employees everything they need making them to not fluctuate in their performance. But
still this all was possible but cloud was one of unsung hero in this. Where cloud computing has been more than a facilitator, it
has become a vital enabler to avoid service disruption. Cloud computing has impacted the actual provision of service in an
environment of massive market volatility.
Many multinational companies like amazon, Microsoft are investing hugely on cloud they are adding jobs also in order to keep
up with the demands they are creating over 1000 job opportunities in Ireland and open a new Dublin campus.
IV. COVID-19 IMPACT ON CLOUD COMPUTING MARKET
The global impact of COVID-19 on cloud market size is expected to grow from USD 233 billion in 2019 to USD 295 billion by
2021, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12.5% during the forecast period. Major driving factors of the market
growth include enterprises need to support remote workforce to induce investment in IT infrastructure for hyperscalers, cloud
service providers (CSPs), internet service providers (ISPs), and managed hosting providers, rise in demand for cloud-based
business continuity tools and services and suitability of public cloud environment best suited for the current unprecedented
scenario.

The retail sector to show the highest growth rate during the forecast period within the global cloud industry. The healthcare
segment to record higher investment and growth in 2020 within the global cloud market. Software as a service (SaaS) solution
segment to hold the largest size of the cloud market during the forecast period.

V. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
In March 2020, HPE introduces a powerful Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) product with flexible financing norms and new
pre-configured solutions for remote working. The company offers industries and academic organizations software and
applications to help researchers to compete with the pandemic.
In March 2020, Alibaba has launched a suit of cloud-native anti-coronavirus solutions. Alibaba Cloud hosting DingTalk's
International Medical Expert Communication Platform for free communication to medical workers. The company has also
launched the CT Image Analytics technology to identify the characteristics of coronavirus pneumonia in CT scans.
In March 2020, Google launched a Rapid Response Virtual Agent program that can quickly process Contact Center AI agents
for handling conversations with online chat or over the phone to aid in COVID-19 response.
VI. CONCLUSION
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing resources, means Everything as a Service(XaaS). It has a bright future and new
trends in coming years. Through the Covid-19 pandemic cloud services are fulfilled.
