While Amazon still leads cloud services in terms of overall revenue and spending, Microsoft is the most poplar supplier and is steadily gaining market share against major competitors.
Microsoft’s lead has been increasing since 2017.
Analysis and Comments
Both Amazon and Microsoft are looking to continue their cloud expansion in 2020 and will likely need to start fending off Google and its cloud initiative GCP as well – last year, Google announced the takeover of Looker Data Sciences, a cloud company (the deal is currently under review by the CMA), as well as enterprise software firm CloudSimple.
Overall, analysts think the fact that Microsoft managed to win the US$10bn Pentagon contract termed Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure Cloud (JEDI…yes, that’s right) last year will give it an edge.
This is mainly because both companies see governments as a way to further expand their cloud businesses and having a Pentagon contract may end up useful in winning further government contracts.
