Azure lies about what counts as cloud revenue. All their SaaS products and Windows licenses fall under cloud. I don't think apples to apples it's even 50% of AWS.
Intelligent cloud is intelligently fooling you.
Azure is a much smaller piece of Microsoft’s “Intelligent Cloud” then they want you to believe. They purposefully don’t break it out. The US government accidentally tipped this off during lawsuit filings. Google also released an op-ed about the real size of Azure. All of these metrics go based off intelligent cloud, not pure azure. They include Windows server and SQL server licensing in there, much of which is probably on AWS and GCP ironically enough. Don’t get me wrong, Microsoft is incredibly valuable and Azure is a formidable force, it’s just not a fair comparison. https://siliconangle.com/2023/06/29/court-filing-shows-microsoft-azure-generated-lower-expected-34b-revenue-2022/
To be fair it makes sense that most companies would want to balance their services across multiple clouds rather than selecting just one. Especially now while cloud providers are more mature
Why does that make sense? Multi-cloud is one of the stupidest trends ever.
Putting all eggs in one basket is the stupidest idea in any sector
Have been hearing this since 6years lol While Oracle Cloud has silently closed the gap
Does Oracle also include Oracle on RDS in their cloud rev like Microsoft does with SQL Server? lol
Are you a PM for the same team and you helped with this blog?
Isn’t Substrate internal Azure that hosts M365 products. Is that usage being counted in as well ?
I mean, tell me something new?
