Huh, I just found an article [1] which puts Microsoft Azure solidly at #2, behind AWS. It's interesting, I did not realize this was the case. But I do wonder how they calculated that if Azure numbers aren't public.

Microsoft went all in marketing Azure, this isn't too surprising to me. They don't mess around when they launch products/services. Their marketing to corporate CTO/CIOs is a well tuned machine. They even tried to hit up startup devs which didn't go over as well.
