Over the past two years we have seen the market for public cloud become hyper-competitive. The field of players has expanded and retracted exponentially. Industry stalwarts like Amazon.com Inc.’s Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Inc. Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Corporation Azure have solidified their dominance in this space. Others have entered this market only to retreat and focus on either hybrid, private, co-locating/hosting, or any number of cloud service machinations. Each public cloud provider has its strengths and weaknesses. For example (and a gross over-simplification), AWS is strong on compute and infrastructure, Microsoft Azure on applications and OS, and Google in the data analytics and storage.
