TECHNOLOGY SPOTLIGHT

According to AWS, they have significantly more services and more features than any other cloud provider. They have over 45% of the cloud market and have become the fastest growing area with the Amazon business family.

Market share is likely to level out as the 2 main competitors – Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud – extend their scope and exposure.

Currently, AWS has the largest customer and partner community, with millions of active customers and tens of thousands of global partners in the AWS Partner Network (APN).
