A Compact Study of Recent Trends of Challenges and Opportunities in Integrating Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Computing

The internet of things (IoT) has seen immense growth in a couple of decades. Many data centers are producing bulk data daily, which is needed to be handled properly. The extent of produced data is constantly growing. Storing data on local IoT devices is not recommended because of the availability of limited storage space, less security, and high energy consumption. The IoT integration with cloud computing requires service provision with other attributes like efficiency, high performance, scalability, reliability, and ubiquity. For accomplishing such attributions, research vision and business are anticipated to merge IoT and cloud computing concepts to enable everything as a service model to encompass new capabilities of cognitive IoT and functionalities. This manuscript describes IoT-cloud computing-based smart infrastructure and presents different techniques for preventing challenges for integrating cloud computing and IoT.
