After more than 10 years of development, cloud computing technology has gradually matured, and enterprises' acceptance of cloud computing is also further improving. As cloud computing can bring obvious utility to enterprise IT operation, business innovation and so on, Shangyun has become the norm of enterprises. In 2019, the whole society will spend more and more of its budget on cloud computing, which will further increase the proportion of cloud computing in total IT expenditure. Goldman Sachs, a Wall Street bank, predicts that the market rate for cloud computing will exceed 10 per cent for the first time in 2019 and jump to 15 per cent by 2021. This means that cloud computing will further erode corporate IT spending and enhance its influence in the IT market.

In short, cloud computing is not only the basic computing platform of artificial intelligence (of course, not all current artificial intelligence computing is carried out on the strict cloud platform), but also a convenient way to integrate the capabilities of artificial intelligence into tens of millions of applications; artificial intelligence not only enriches the characteristics of cloud computing services, but also makes cloud computing services more in line with the needs of business scenarios, and further liberates manpower.

Referring to the top ten strategic technology trends released by Gartner in 2018, applications and objects (things) will become more and more intelligent, while cloud computing will become more and more edge, and it can be predicted that the intersection of cloud computing and artificial intelligence will increase.

In 2018, there were many large-scale mergers and acquisitions in cloud computing, these transaction divisions in different areas such as chips, security, artificial intelligence, developer community, cloud solutions, and so on. In order to maintain rapid growth, mainstream cloud computing manufacturers need to launch more high value-added products or services, and continue to expand the size of paying customers, through mergers or acquisitions to become a means of quick results. Acquisitions by cloud computing giants for technology or customer direction are expected to occur at a high frequency in 2019. In addition, some companies may also enter the cloud computing industry across the border through acquisitions.

In terms of the overall development of the industry, most experts believe that as many enterprises go to the cloud as a whole, the rate of cloud computing market will accelerate and the concentration of public cloud market will further increase. At the same time, giant cloud computing companies will make use of talent, capital, ecology and other multiple advantages to carry out mergers and acquisitions in the field of cloud computing, and try to extend to the upper reaches of the industry.
