Microsoft Azure and AWS both offer comparable services, but both are trying to take the top spot. It is clear from the AWS vs. Azure comparison that AWS is more well-known than Azure, yet the market share and revenue growth figures show that Microsoft Azure entered the market more quickly.
Amazon Web Services (AWS), Amazon.com's cloud computing business, is the world's largest cloud service provider. The company offers over 200 fully featured services from its data centers, including computing, storage, and database. Azure's income has increased by 50%, but the figures are not public. AWS now has a 40% market share, whereas Azure has a 30% market share. AWS looks to be the market leader in terms of market share and revenue.
Even As Microsoft Azure Revenue Grows, AWS’s Market Share Lead Stays Strong
"@context":" ", "@type": "FAQPage" ,"mainEntity":[ "@type": "Question", "name": "Why is AWS popular than Azure?", "acceptedAnswer": "@type": "Answer", "text": "Microsoft Azure and AWS both offer comparable services, but both are trying to take the top spot. It is clear from the AWS vs. Azure comparison that AWS is more well-known than Azure, yet the market share and revenue growth figures show that Microsoft Azure entered the market more quickly. Due to their almost 7-year operating history, AWS has greater resources, infrastructure, and superior, scalable services than Azure. More significantly, while Azure was attempting to catch up, Amazon could expand its cloud infrastructure by adding more servers and utilising economies of scale more effectively." , "@type": "Question", "name": "What is the difference between Azure and AWS?", "acceptedAnswer": "@type": "Answer", "text": "Azure is regarded as a Platform as a Service (PaaS) as well as an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider. Because of its parent business, Azure is a very potent offering. Microsoft offers an infrastructure support level that is comparable to a few other businesses. On the other hand, AWS has a big toolkit that is expanding exponentially, much like Amazon itself. AWS has more than 10 years of experience in the cloud computing sector, making it the market leader and has been for some time. Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and Software as a Service are the three categories under which AWS services fall (Saas)." , "@type": "Question", "name": "Is Azure the same as AWS?", "acceptedAnswer": "@type": "Answer", "text": "No, AWS cloud platform was introduced by Amazon in 2006, whereas Azure cloud platform was launched by Microsoft in 2010. Despite having similar use cases and being widely used in the Big Data community, both platforms are owned by different companies." , "@type": "Question", "name": "Is Azure easier than AWS?", "acceptedAnswer": "@type": "Answer", "text": "Both Azure and AWS may be difficult to learn if you don't know what you're doing, or they can be quite simple if you're well instructed. Many IT experts, however, argue that AWS is far easier to learn and obtain certification in. Again, there are more AWS learning materials (blogs, eBooks, video lessons) available online." , "@type": "Question", "name": "Is AWS better than Azure?", "acceptedAnswer": "@type": "Answer", "text": "Pay-as-you-go pricing is available from both Azure and AWS. Azure is billed per minute, whereas Amazon Web Services is billed hourly. Azure provides greater flexibility in short-term subscription arrangements. When the two are compared, Azure is more costly. Azure is the finest alternative for a robust Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) provider and even a Windows integration. If a company needs infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) or a wide range of tools, AWS may be the ideal option. It will be determined by the needs of the users." , "@type": "Question", "name": "Is AWS bigger than Azure?", "acceptedAnswer": "@type": "Answer", "text": "Amazon Web Services (AWS), Amazon.com's cloud computing business, is the world's largest cloud service provider.

Despite having nearly a third of the market, AWS is still ahead by more than 10%. According to market data, Amazon Web Services is used by more than 41.5% of apps and services." , "@type": "Question", "name": "What are the advantages of Microsoft Azure?", "acceptedAnswer": "@type": "Answer", "text": "Microsoft Azure's notion of speed is altogether different, although they do place a focus on locating data centres across the world to provide consumers the best chance of receiving their data when they need it. One of the primary advantages of adopting Azure is how flexible it is due to its easier scaling. It merely takes a single click to increase service levels, and businesses are free to drop these higher service levels when they no longer want the extra storage, computation, or support. Microsoft Azure has thought of almost everything, including a whole end-to-end array of services." , "@type": "Question", "name": "Is Azure easier than AWS?", "acceptedAnswer": "@type": "Answer", "text": "Both Azure and AWS may be difficult to learn if you don't know what you're doing, or they can be quite simple if you're well instructed.

If you want to get certified in the most popular cloud technology today, choose AWS. It has a larger market share than any other cloud service provider and will most likely continue to do so." ]
This feedback captured an important aspect of recent cloud competition, highlighted in the graph below that was published last month in the Financial Times. Microsoft has a healthy number two position when it comes to cloud services, with just over 20 percent market share of global cloud services revenues. We compete every day with Amazon, which has consistently captured roughly 33 percent of those revenues. Google in turn has been growing its share of cloud services revenues and now ranks at number three.
With over a million customers, 2 million servers, 100,000 Weather-Forecasting Computer Cores, and $10 billion in annual revenue, AWS is the largest cloud computing platform. AWS commands 40% of the cloud computing market share, more than the market share of its three biggest competitors put together. The most experienced and oldest cloud player with 11 years in operation provides an extensive list of mobile networking, deployments, machine learning, and more computing services and functions. Meanwhile, growing at a rate of 120K new customers per month, 5 million organizations using Azure Active directory, 4 million developers registered with visual studio team services,1.4 million SQL databases, 2 trillion message per week processed by Azure IoT, and 40% of revenue generated from start-ups and ISVs- Azure is on the verge of dominating AWS cloud services.
Microsoft (MSFT) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) are competing for the coveted No.1 spot in the cloud infrastructure services market, which is projected to grow from $325B in 2021 to $1,620B (or $1.6T) by 2030, according to a report by Allied Market Research. In Q2, Amazon's AWS revenues grew at 37% year-over-year (marked acceleration) as it continues to lead the cloud infrastructure services market with a 31% market share. However, Microsoft's Azure is outpacing AWS's growth and now commands a market share of 22%.
Slower growth for smaller clouds means their collective market share is also falling. Synergy's numbers suggest that while smaller players have grown their revenues by over 150 percent since the first quarter of 2018, their collective market share has fallen from 48 percent to 36 percent.
Spending continued to consolidate in 2020 with the combined revenue of the top five public cloud service providers (Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft (Azure), Salesforce.com, Google, and Oracle) increased their spending by 32% and captured 38% of the worldwide total market.
Thanks to an expanding portfolio of SaaS and SISaaS offerings, Microsoft now shares the top position with Amazon Web Services in the whole public cloud services market with both companies holding 12.8% revenue share for the year.
Looking at the segment results, a combined view of IaaS, SISaaS, and PaaS spending is relevant because it represents the foundational set of services that end customers and SaaS companies consume when running, modernizing, building, and governing applications on shared public clouds. In the combined IaaS, SISaaS and PaaS market, the top 5 companies (Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Google, Alibaba, and IBM) captured over 51% of global revenues. But there continues to be a healthy long tail, representing nearly half the market total. These are companies with targeted use case-specific PaaS services or cross-cloud compute, data, or network governance services. The long tail is even more pronounced in SaaS, where customers growing focus on specific outcomes ensures that over two thirds of the spending is captured outside the top five.
