Would would ever have bet that Microsoft would kick Google's butt in the cloud? Not me.
- bitmapbrother 10y agoGiven their low market share they're not kicking anyone's butt.

Azure seems to have higher market share though? In HN I rarely see talk about Azure and I see a lot of Google Cloud. Out there, where I consult with enterprise customers among other things, I see a lot of Azure and almost no Google. It would seem that Google sells well among startups and in the Bay Area while Microsoft sells a lot to enterprise.
- bitmapbrother 10y agoThe chart you linked to showed one thing very clearly - AWS is kicking everyone's butt. In terms of YoY growth, Google was the biggest at 162%. Microsoft and IBM should be very concerned about that considering all of the new datacenters Google has coming online in 2017.
