HOW AMAZON AWS BECOME THE MARKET LEADER OVER OTHER CLOUD SERVICES

 What is Cloud Computing? ☁

Cloud computing is the delivery of different services through the Internet. These resources include tools and applications like data storage, servers, databases, networking, and software.

Rather than keeping files on a proprietary hard drive or local storage device, cloud-based storage makes it possible to save them to a remote database.

One of the Cloud Service providers is AWS — Amazon Web Services.

We don’t need to pay any upfront amount; AWS offers pay-as-you-go pricing — which enables you to pay only for what you use. Once you stop your usage, there is no fee to terminate, and billing stops immediately.

Concept behind Cloud Computing Technology:

Now let’s talk about what is the concept behind cloud computing.

We need to go through some steps for this. Let’s understand the following:

There are basic three ways to install Operating System.

1. Bare Metal

2. Virtualization

3. Containerization

In Bare Metal you directly install the OS to your Local System. The OS will consume Physical resources like HD, RAM, CPU, etc from your local system, and at only one point in time only one OS you can run or work on.

Next comes, Virtualization Technology

To use virtualization technology, you have to install one program or software that will give you the capability to boot multiple independent OS at the same point in time on your Physical Hardwar(your physical resource will be sharable to all the independent OS). The program is called Hypervisor. Some Virtualization product is Oracle VirtualBox, VMware, KVM, Xen, etc.

3rd way is Containerization Technology.

It’s the same as Virtualization, you have to install one program on top of your physical hardware, the program is called a “container engine”. This technology can install and boot OS in less than 1 second.

some of the vastly used Containerization tools are Docker, Podman, RKT, Rancher, etc.

Now you might wonder Why should we use the cloud when we have these 3 ways of installing the OS. 

The reason behind it, you will not have a headache about the physical resources like RAM, CPU, Storage (volume), and the entire infrastructure, cloud will provide you with whatever is necessary to run the respective OS, you have to just select or pick from the catalog.

Cloud Computing technology provides all the previous ways of installation through respective services.

MaaS is a cloud infrastructure service that provides users with access to physical servers and other bare-metal resources over the internet. It allows users to deploy, manage, and scale their infrastructure without needing to physically own or maintain the hardware. MaaS provides businesses with flexibility, agility, and scalability, allowing them to quickly spin up or down resources as needed.

CaaS is a cloud computing model that provides users with access to computing resources, such as software, operating systems, and application platforms, over the internet. CaaS provides businesses with a cost-effective way to manage their IT infrastructure by eliminating the need for them to purchase and maintain their own hardware and software. With CaaS, businesses can focus on their core operations without worrying about the IT infrastructure.

IaaS is a cloud computing model that provides users with access to computing resources, such as virtual machines, storage, and networking components, over the internet. IaaS allows businesses to deploy and manage their IT infrastructure without needing to physically own or maintain the hardware. It provides businesses with the flexibility and scalability to quickly scale their IT infrastructure up or down as needed.

Container as a Service (CaaS) is a cloud computing model that provides users with access to container-based applications and services over the internet. CaaS enables developers to build and deploy applications using containerization technology, which allows applications to be packaged in a lightweight, portable, and standardized way. With CaaS, users can quickly and easily deploy and manage container-based applications, without needing to worry about the underlying infrastructure. This provides businesses with a cost-effective way to manage their IT infrastructure and allows them to focus on their core operations, rather than managing the IT infrastructure. 

What is AWS? 💡

In 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) began offering IT infrastructure services to businesses in the form of web services — now commonly known as cloud computing. One of the key benefits of cloud computing is the opportunity to replace up-front capital infrastructure expenses with low variable costs that scale with your business.

It is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform, offering over 200 fully-featured services from data centers globally. Millions of customers — including the fastest-growing startups, largest enterprises, and leading government agencies — are using AWS to lower costs, become more agile, and innovate faster.

With data center locations in the U.S., Europe, Brazil, Singapore, India, Japan, and Australia, customers across all industries are taking advantage of the services of AWS.

AWS Regions Globally 🌍

AWS Data Centre:

Region — A region is a geographical area. Each region consists of 2 (or more) availability zones.

Availability Zone — It is simply a data center.

Edge Location — They are CDN (Content Delivery Network) endpoints for Cloudfront.

Global Market Share Of AWS 💰🌍

Now Let’s focus on the Global Market Share of AWS.

Having established itself as an early leader in the market for cloud infrastructure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), the online retailer’s profitable cloud platform, is still ahead of the pack. According to estimates from Synergy Research Group, Amazon’s market share in the worldwide cloud infrastructure market amounted to 34 percent in the third quarter of 2022, still exceeding the combined market share of its two largest competitors, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.

In Q3 2022, global cloud infrastructure service spending climbed to $57 billion, bringing the industry total for the trailing twelve months to $217 billion. As the following chart shows, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google accounted for two-thirds of cloud infrastructure revenues in the three months that ended Sept. 30, with the eight largest providers controlling more than 80 percent of the market.

“It is a strong testament to the benefits of cloud computing that despite two major obstacles to growth the worldwide market still expanded by 24 percent from last year,” John Dinsdale, chief analyst at Synergy Research Group said. “Had exchange rates remained stable and had the Chinese market remained on a more normal path then the growth rate percentage would have been well into the thirties.”
