I think - somewhat controversially - that business/productivity apps will make or break AWS. Assuming Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure can reach AWS feature parity and prices, most everyone will likely move their infra to where their apps are.
Two (of many) reasons:
1) Biz/productivity apps are better when they connect directly to your infrastructure (eg query and viz features between Google Sheets + BigQuery, etc), and
2) Infrastructure is better when already integrated into your biz apps (eg Google Analytics auto push to BigQuery, etc).

- jessaustin 10y agoThat integration doesn't seem that hard... the reason we don't see more of it may just be that it's not that valuable? You're never going to move all your BigQuery data to a Google Sheet. You might very well move some transformation of it, but that would be nearly as easy to do across IaaS vendors as within one...
