Abstract
Cloud computing has become an integral part of modern businesses globally, providing scalability, flexibility and cost savings through utility-based on-demand access to hosted IT resources and services. However, security concerns surrounding issues of control, transparency, compliance and governance continue to inhibit complete adoption, especially among small and medium-sized enterprises. Loss of oversight over infrastructure configurations and data sovereignty has fostered reluctance to embrace public cloud technologies fully. If these foundational risks could be addressed, businesses may feel more secure innovating through cloud-enabled digital transformation. This review comprehensively analyzes how adopting infrastructure as code approach can help foster trust and openness to technological innovation. The review is divided into three main sections. The first section discusses cloud computing models and concepts. It explores infrastructure as code as an approach to provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure. The second section outlines the key opportunities and challenges for businesses in adopting cloud computing. The third section theorizes factors influencing cloud adoption drawing from established diffusion of innovation and technology organization environment theories. The review concludes that infrastructure as code if adopted as a security framework can help address key concerns and promote wider adoption of cloud among businesses.
