  This work provides the basis to understand and select Cloud Computing models
applied for the development of IoT solutions using Low-Power Wide Area Network
(LPWAN). Cloud Computing paradigm has transformed how the industry implement
solution, through the commoditization of shared IT infrastructures. The advent
of massive Internet of Things (IoT) and related workloads brings new challenges
to this scenario demanding malleable configurations where the resources are
distributed closer to data sources. We introduce an analysis of existing
solution architectures, along with an illustrative case from where we derive
the lessons, challenges, and opportunities of combining these technologies for
a new generation of Cloud-native solutions.
