Yet Azure is the top cloud provider, and AWS is #2.
- nemothekid 8y agoThey are number one because Microsoft doesn’t break out Azure and Office 365 revenue.
- cthalupa 8y agoMy understanding, which may be incorrect, is also that they consider all SPLA revenue as cloud revenue as well. (SPLA is the licensing paid by service providers to lease their customers infrastructure running Microsoft products. So if you pay some VPS or server provider $30/mo or whatever they charge for Server 2012, and they turn around and send $28 of it to MS or whatever, MS reports that $28 as cloud revenue)
