After a brief intermission, we’re back this month with an action-packed State of the Cloud report. In this month’s analysis of the top cloud providers we’ll be debuting a newcomer into the charts which makes quite an entrance. We’ll also run the analysis with an alternative data set and see if it confirms or refutes [...]
We interrupt our regular programming for the following update.
Unfortunately, this month we have no regular post in the State of the Cloud series. Quantcast’s Top 1M Site list, which is the input data set used by the research, is broken. Instead of 1 million sites, the list contains only 78,000. Clearly, this makes it difficult [...]
A new month, a new State of the Cloud post! In this month’s post we’ll revisit the relative sizes of the top providers and see just how much of the cloud market the biggest players own.

Looking at this month’s trends, we find a relatively slow month for the cloud. Overall [...]

Last Tuesday I joined John Rowell for a chat about cloud trends. Below is the recording of the show.
Like many in the cloud community, these days I am gearing up for CloudConnect in Santa Clara next month. If you’re going to be there, be sure to catch me and say hi. Don’t miss my appearance [...]
Next Tuesday I’ll be joining John Rowell, OpSource co-founder and CTO, for the second episode of The Real Cloud. In the spirit of this blog, we’ll be chatting about cloud adoption trends and calling out the real numbers behind the hype.
Be sure to come and watch, as well as to post your questions during the [...]
Back in September, I published the Anatomy of an EC2 Resource ID where I pointed out some curious patterns in EC2’s ID scheme and proposed a method of “decoding” these patterns to reveal an underlying serial number. In that post I was careful to write that “while the patterns are indisputable, there remain unknowns and [...]
Welcome to the eighth update for the State of the Cloud series. In case you are just joining – this monthly report measures the adoption of leading cloud providers amongst public-facing websites. The data set is based on the top 500,000 sites as measured by QuantCast. As always I’d like to point out the caveats [...]
