Description
Cloud computing has transformed the digital landscape, providing scalability, cost efficiency, and seamless access to computing resources. Yet, there is a gap between its theoretical aspirations and real-world achievements because of data privacy concerns, regulatory compliance, vendor lock-in, and performance bottlenecks. This paper critically examines these disparities through case studies, technological breakthroughs, and industry trends as a guide to understanding these impediments to cloud adoption. The study reviews the theoretical background of cloud computing, which include models related to deployment and service, and illustrates its successes in performance, reliability, and security. Persistent barriers, however, mean security and compliance are insecure while cost unpredictability remains a concern for organizations in using the maximum potential of a cloud. The study proposes strategic solutions that can serve to bridge the gap in terms of hybrid and multi-cloud adoption, AI-driven security frameworks, regulatory compliance automation, and various cost optimization techniques. Emerging trends like quantum computing, edge computing, and green cloud initiatives are shaping the future of cloud computing. By implementing these solutions, more is made out of the potential of cloud computing in securing a more efficient and sustainable digital infrastructure. 2025 IEEE.
