The fact is, Amazon's destiny in the cloud is in its own hands, which is
more than you can say about IBM, Google, or even Microsoft. I can easily
believe Microsoft is growing faster than Amazon as an IaaS provider
percentage-wise, because it has a smaller base that's easier to grow in
percentages than Amazon's. It also has a head of steam in China, where it's
likely signing up developers who are used to working with Microsoft
technologies. (Microsoft didn't start talking about "1,000 new customers a
day" until the China operation was going.) And Microsoft is generous with
free accounts and giveaways when it's hungry for market share.
Microsoft also has a great hybrid cloud story, with software that dominates
the enterprise data center and its own Azure. But that makes it a different
type of cloud provider than Amazon, in that its strength lies in legacy
systems. VMware is similar to Microsoft in that it too has great potential
strength in hybrid operation of all those legacy systems that it virtualized
in enterprise data centers. On the other hand, both Microsoft and VMware
would love to be in Amazon's allegedly failing shoes, roping in both new and
existing enterprise cloud users.
Pessimists also point to the fact that Amazon is seeing its best customers
wooed by fresh competition. The company must counter as customers such as
Dropbox consider moving parts of their operations elsewhere, such as the
hybrid cloud or Google Compute Engine. Instagram, for example, had been a
steady AWS customer, but it moved into Facebook data centers after being
acquired by Facebook. Likewise, Dropcam, another AWS customer, has been
acquired by Google and may switch its hosting to Google.
