This study focuses on analyzing the application of cloud computing as a supporting infrastructure for digital transformation in the implementation of Smart City at the Communication and Information Agency (Diskominfo) of Muara Enim Regency. In the era of digital transformation and accelerated urbanization, the need for smart city management based on information technology has become increasingly urgent. Cloud computing plays a strategic role in providing integrated, scalable, and efficient data services to support the effectiveness of public services and data-driven decision-making. This study aims to analyze the extent to which cloud computing has been implemented in the Muara Enim Diskominfo environment, identify the supporting and inhibiting factors of its implementation, and evaluate its contribution to the achievement of Smart City objectives. This study uses a comparative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation studies. The results of the study show that the implementation of cloud computing at the Muara Enim Communication and Information Agency is still in the development stage, with positive achievements in data management efficiency and inter-unit collaboration, but facing obstacles in terms of system integration and human resources. This research contributes to strengthening academic understanding of cloud computing implementation strategies in the context of local government, as well as providing practical recommendations for policy makers to improve digital infrastructure readiness towards a sustainable Smart City.
