I'm surprised that GCP is claimed to have less than the third of Azure's market share.
And AWS is still comfortably in first place.<p>It also depends a lot on how they count these market shares. Once we go past the basic renting of CPU/Disk, it gets tricky: How far is a service still considered as part of the "cloud market". For example, renting a virtual machine to use as a desktop-in-the-cloud would count, but what about 'renting' a machine to play games? (Like with Xbox, Luna or Stadia)
Same question with productivity/office services.
Im not sure how they calculated this, I work in Finance for a Equity Research team that covers MSFT and while we estimate Cloud Revs for each, MSFT doesn't actually break out Azure revs. It's part of MSFT Intelligent Cloud which also includes: "several products other than Azure, including SQL Server, Windows Server, Visual Studio, System Center, consulting services and support."
The article is behind a paywall and I have no clue how to bypass the WSJ paywall, printfrindly trick doesn't work. However, the video at the top, towards the end, is decent (first half till 2:00 is explaining dif between pub and priv cloud)
