While AWS has maintained profitability and a leading global infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) market share of over 42%, its growth rate relative to its key competitors slowed in 2023. Azure public cloud market share is 26%. GCP's overall market share stands at 11.5%. Oracle's strategy of positioning OCI as the top cloud for Oracle software i
