It appears that this is mostly due to the growth in Azure, and that that growth is primarily due to Microsoft cloud-hosted services using Azure. (The article does state that part of the growth is due to internal MS stuff, but does not give any indication about the relative amount of MS machines vs third party users' machines.)
- pedalpete 13y agoTrue, but what else would you think it would be compared to. It appears to use number of domains as the measurement, not sure if sub-domains are included in that, but either way, is there reason to believe that Microsoft is running considerably more domains than Amazon? Sure they have more products, but not thousands more. Therefore, I think it is safe to assume that most of these 'web facing computers' are customer servers, and if so, that is a telling sign for Azure. AWS has been in the marketplace longer, and has the mindshare. I'm surprised to see Microsoft anywhere near AWS numbers.
