These technology giants dominate the public cloud space—Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. The cloud is pivotal as it provides the backbone for storage, computing, databases, and numerous other technological needs across various sectors. The shift from companies managing their own IT infrastructure to utilizing the cloud-as-a-service model signifies a major transformation in the tech landscape.
Amazon was an early mover in this market, with Microsoft later following suit, leveraging its existing relationships with Fortune 500 companies to scale its Azure offering. Google, while initially slower, has since caught up, but its services were already well-integrated with its extensive existing infrastructure, making it a contender in the space.
