Why do you think so?

  I can clearly Google Cloud winning the Cloud industry. It's only a matter of time and not a matter of if. Cases like this and Spotify, will make the shift happen sooner than rather.

    I don't see any evidence in your assertion. There are quite a few very powerful players in this segment and I don't see anybody 'winning' to the point where they will exclude the others. Just a lot of secret sauce and attempts at locking in the customers. What you will see is a shift from dedicated hosting providers to cloud providers, which is one of the reason why almost every large dedicated hosting provider now has their own cloud offering. And that is born out by evidence, in fact, if Google 'won' the cloud battle and let's say Amazon would end up as a Google customer we'd all lose. I don't think that's even a remote possibility at this point.

      Yes, Google will not "win" at the total expense of Amazon & Microsoft, but I would bet a good deal of money that they'll become the market leader within the next five years, and likely sooner. The rate at which Google has been open-sourcing things, too, will further expedite this, and the fact that they just joined OCP will give them better industry credibility on the data center / computing side.

        However, Google seems to be trailing in third in the cloud, at least for enterprise users. And it seems to be falling well behind AWS and Azure. See, for example, https://www.gartner.com/doc/reprints?id=1-2G2O5FC&ct=150519 https://www.gartner.com/doc/reprints?id=1-2G2O5FC&ct=150519 and http://www.spiceworks.com/marketing/diving-into-IT-cloud-services/report/ http://www.spiceworks.com/marketing/diving-into-IT-cloud-ser... and http://www.techinsider.io/why-amazon-is-so-hard-to-topple-in-the-cloud-and-where-everybody-else-falls-2015-10 http://www.techinsider.io/why-amazon-is-so-hard-to-topple-in... Be interested to see any reports/surveys/data that show Google leading in cloud services, but Google didn't find me any ;-)
