Who is or will be ahead: Google, MSFT, AWS ?

We all know AWS was the alpha when it came to IaaC. Wanted to toss the subject out on what are your thoughts on microservices based services, will Google (as true creator of Borg leading to K8s) nail the market or are there chances AWS will maintain market leadership ? PS: don’t believe in Alpha concept just trying to make a point on market dominance.#google #aws #microsoft

Google ofc because their engineers know how to implement a segment tree in 5 mins

Even though MSFT nailed the big AFO ATT deal ?

Google will deprecate their existing services, then launch YT Microservices which support less micro and less service, then deprecate that.

As a customer annoyed by the GPM/YTM transition this one hits too close to home.

I see AWS is winning out but comments say Google

Google isn't aggressive in marketing or sales. B2B needs proper pitch, positioning etc. Not tech.

Ericsson JsbH87 OP Aug 14, 2021

I thought this changed recently they have an army of people joining them from all other companies helping them to get sharper there.

Have you seen AWS’s micro services offering with Lambda, EventBridge/Kinesis/SQS/SNS, API-Gateway etc.? No doubt they are leading in micro services area already - it’s a solid stack.

All over IaaS no baremetal offering.

Amazon AotV81 Aug 14, 2021

EC2/ECS/Fargate/EKS for baremetal fans. But widely observed trend across industry is that micro-services use-cases are using higher level abstractions.

G has a unique strength on AI related market. Others don’t have good auto ML offering, and TPU is another huge gap.

Microsoft TempPM Aug 14, 2021

I don't have any data, but analyst reports indicate this is mostly perception. How many GCP customers are paying for TPUs? What is the TPUs real world application comparison to GPU?

Amazon BeastTitan Aug 14, 2021

At this point, aws is so far ahead of the competition, it's hard to see Google or msft come anywhere close for a few years. Amazon for all its faults has this scrappy culture of getting shit done. Sucks for the employees, works for the customers. That's essentially been their business model since day 1.

Ericsson JsbH87 OP Aug 14, 2021

Somewhat tangential, except for AWS I have seen Melvin Conways theory of designers creating system design that reflects their org seem to be true. How has AWS being so hierarchical kept its act together ?

BTW, love the beasttitan alias.

What is IaaC?

Ericsson JsbH87 OP Aug 14, 2021

Infra as code or infra as service.

Atlassian slowmonk Aug 14, 2021

Thats IaaS

Bloomberg EPiO17 Aug 14, 2021

I believe Microsoft. Strongest PaaS stack.

Ericsson JsbH87 OP Aug 14, 2021

How so any UCs you could share ?

Bloomberg EPiO17 Aug 14, 2021

Sorry, can you expand UC?
