Dear Muhammad Shafiq,

the current research topics in cloud computing (CC) are:

• CC Containerization
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
• SD-based CC Networking
• Cloud Native Microservices
• Mobile CC (MCC) in 5G

For "Top 10 Networking Trends 2019" see my poster:

https://www.researchgate.net/post/Software_Define_Network

In the appendix I have suggested some sources of literature.

Best regards

Anatol Badach

Anatol Badach Elisa Rojas Thanks a lot for Your suggestion.

Mohammad Rasoul Momeni thanks

The current Research topics in Cloud Computing are

1. Load Balancing on Different Servers in Cloud Computing

2. Legacy and Privacy Issues in Cloud Computing

3. Security Issues in Cloud Computing

4. Federation Issues in Cloud Computing

5. Data Staging Issues in Cloud Computing

Specifically for Security and Privacy

1) Data Integrity (modification of data from authorized source)

No common standard to ensure integrity

2) Trust evaluation (facing in Cloud computing)

3) Security and Privacy in cloud computing using Blockchain !

Could I please refer you to the following two articles:

• Next Generation Cloud Computing in Future Generation Computer Systems - https://arxiv.org/pdf/1707.07452.pdf
• Cloud Futurology in IEEE Computer - http://bvarghese.staff.cs.qub.ac.uk/papers/CloudFuturology-Preprint.pdf

They talk about Cloud research from a systems engineering and distributed system perspective. Hope they help.

Please read our latest published paper in ACM Computing Surveys:

http://buyya.com/papers/SustainableClouds360.pdf

I hope this will help you.

Some key research topics in cloud computing include the following:

• Load balancing.
• Security and integrity.
• Privacy in multi-tenancy clouds.
• Virtualisation.
• Data recovery and backup.
• Data segregation and recovery.
• Secure cloud architecture.
• Cloud cryptography.

I'd add to the previous answers the development of blockchain-based clouds since it could lead to really open markets and end the oligopoly of the traditional cloud providers. Here is an overview and analysis of the subjects.
