The advent of Sixth Generation (6G) communication networks is anticipated to transform wireless connectivity by delivering ultra-high data rates, minimal latency, intelligent automation, and uninterrupted connectivity among billions of devices. The amalgamation of Cloud Computing with the Internet of Things (IoT) is an essential basis for actualising the concept of 6G-enabled smart ecosystems. Cloud platforms provide scalable processing, storage, and analytical capabilities, whereas IoT devices provide substantial volumes of real-time data from various applications, including smart cities, healthcare, transportation, industrial automation, and environmental monitoring. This chapter examines the architecture, technologies, frameworks, and applications of Cloud-IoT integration in 6G communication networks. It addresses enabling technologies such as edge computing, artificial intelligence, network slicing, digital twins, and intelligent resource management. This chapter analyses security difficulties, implementation concerns, and prospective research avenues for the advancement of intelligent, scalable, and sustainable 6G communication infrastructures.
