Mission Cloud Shares Their 2025 Predictions

Jonathan LaCour, CTO, Mission Cloud shares a few predictions for 2025 that you will find interesting.

AI Integration with Existing Services: Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google will integrate AI capabilities into their existing services rather than offering them as standalone features

  • Example: AI agents could help with operational tasks, automatically resolving problems instead of just sending alerts

AI-Enhanced Products Rather Than Pure AI Services: Focus will be on practical applications built into existing products

  • Example: Amazon QuickSight Q was cited as a good example where generative AI is built into a product that anyone can use without needing to build AI capabilities themselves

App and AI Integration: Rather than AI completely replacing apps, there will likely be a hybrid approach where:

  • Apps will declare their capabilities to other software
  • AI agents will orchestrate between different apps
  • The actual actions will still be handled by apps, but AI will coordinate between them

Traditional Cloud Trends:

  • Continued growth in serverless computing
  • Increased containerization of workloads
  • Decrease in directly managed EC2 instances

The most interesting developments will be in how AI gets practically integrated into existing tools and services, rather than being offered as standalone capabilities.

To add to this, Dr. Ryan Ries, Chief AI and Data Scientist, Mission Cloud shares his predictions:

Prompt Configuration Management

Right now, everyone is trying to figure out how to store, maintain, and update their prompts.  People are often just putting them into Python notebooks and storing them in GIT repositories, but it doesn’t feel quite right. My team has been working through methodologies and trying to figure out the best way to track and update prompts.  This will be a big topic going forward, and we will see new systems coming online to help.

Autonomous Workflow Management

Autonomous workflow management refers to AI agents taking on entire business processes, from initial customer contact to final delivery, with minimal human intervention. I don’t think this is fully a 2025 thing — but we can expect to see autonomous workflow management crop up more and more in the next 5 years.

New Job Opportunities

Yes, AI agents will start to work autonomously, eventually requiring minimal human intervention.  But, this means we will need a new kind of role: AI agent managers – someone who will make sure these AI agents perform their tasks and is able to fine-tune these agents over time.
