In picking Microsoft's cloud, Volkswagen shows that even carmakers have some fear of Amazon
https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/03/16/why-volkswagen-chose-microsoft-azure-over-aws.html?utm_source=quora&utm_medium=referral In the cloud wars, Microsoft has been able to win big business from retailers, largely because companies like Walmart, Kroger, Gap and Target are opting not to write big checks to rival Amazon. The more Amazon grows, the more that calculation could start working its way into other industries β like automotive.
Amazon is more disruptive than Microsoft. In one way, every B2B dollar spent on Amazon may come back to biting a share of their own business in about 5 years.
Google is so fucked lmao
vw is a big name but.. what do they even use azure for? We need to win lyfts and ubers.
Cars will talk soon. 5G is going to change a lot about how we drive
AWS already won over the Lyfts and Ubers. The communication cloud provider for these marketplace companies and startups - Twilio, is also built on AWS. I think VW would use Azure to upload their fake emission test reports π¬
All good architecture for something as important as automotive should be redundant across multiple cloud providers
Why. Most of these companies are 100% Microsoft shops anyways
