AWS and Azure dominate the cloud. Neither should win
As we close out another AWS Re:Invent conference, it’s become apparent that we have the AWS ecosystem and the Azure ecosystem. Although there are a few others in the marketplace, Google and IBM to name two, most investment and interest have been focused at the Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure public clouds thus far.
Even the big enterprise technology providers have realized that they must focus on providing technologies that are complementary to AWS and/or Azure. They can’t enter the cloud market on their own, so they must align to a core provider.
As a result, some enterprises fear that too much control is in the hands of just two cloud providers. Well, it could be worse: There could be just one.
