In our short journey as a company, Botmetric has grown significantly to track public cloud consumption of over $1 billion on an annual basis among our customers. As a company, we believe our journey has barely began in the multi cloud world with customers clearly indicating that the public cloud is a mature offering of importance for their business. We have worked hard and spent a great effort to curate, analyze, simplify and verify the broad insights contained in this report to give a glimpse of the future ahead for cloud computing in general and overall consumption trends across worldwide businesses. Foreword We hope you enjoy reading the report as we did while working on this report. Vijay Rayapati CEO, Botmetric

3 Botmetric Cloud View We are in an interesting era of technology disruption not just in IT but every business is fundamentally changing itself to become digital, connected and intelligent. The future of cloud is very exciting, we are delighted to play our role as a multi-cloud management company.

4 Digital Workloads Domination The applications deployment on public cloud is heavily dominated by digital workloads primarily consisting web, mobile and analytics irrespective of customer segment. We expect serverless, containers, IoT and AI to fuel the next set of intelligent applications landscape. Multi Cloud Adoption There is an increasing trend of more than one cloud usage among enterprises including private & public clouds. This is driven by the need to manage enterprise IT complexity, applications locality, data sovereignty, geographic distribution and de-risking the vendor lock-in. IaaS Is The King In our analysis of AWS & AZURE usage for over $1B, we noticed that IaaS offering still contribute to over 85% of the customers cloud spend. The compute, storage, network and databases dominate in the IaaS category and primary adoption among customers. Key Cloud Trends PaaS Is The Trend It s great to see many platform service offerings beyond IaaS are consumed by customers primarily around messaging, notifications, API management, containers, deployment & security etc, the PaaS offerings from cloud providers are gaining increasing momentum. Use of Cloud Native Technologies Many customers are experimenting, evaluating or have started using forms of native technologies like Containers, Serverless, Analytics, IoT and ML/AI as part of their overall IT. We expect 2018 to drive more adoption in cloud native technologies among enterprises.
