New infrastructure models will continue to emerge including : modular micro / edge enterprise data centre models and cloud radio access network ( C-RAN ) edge solutions ; on-premises cloud services options , such as Amazon Web Services ( AWS ) Outposts , Microsoft Azure Stack and Google GKE On-Prem ; consumption-based purchasing models for on-premises ; and colocation interconnection options provided by the likes of Digital Realty and T5 Data Centers .
