Abstract

With the cloud industry still in its infancy, it is imperative to complete a thorough analysis of the
major competitors in this market. The research covered in this paper provides a comparative
analysis of the main competitors in the cloud industry: Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud,
and Microsoft Azure. The focus of this analysis will be structured around usability, performance
and cost. While the other competitors have their niche markets, the best overall cloud provider
was Amazon WebServices.
