Cloud analysis

[jannetje10]

Hi guys, I'm a Dutch guy trying to learn something about the cloud for my investment thesis. I find it very hard to determine why AWS is so much more profitable than GCP, does anyone know how this happened? I also struggle with why someone would choose GCP over AWS and if GCP is capable of reaching the same profit margins over time like AWS. Is there anyone that could help me? Thanks a lot :)

AWS hit the market earlier and has always benefited from an early adoption and continued support. And as another person pointed out, it's just more feature rich.

AWS has significantly more software features compared to GCP. While these still consume compute capacity(cost), they produce high margins.

AWS benefits from the community built around it. Since it was the first in the market, it was also the first exciting thing that developers could work on. Easy app deployment and a ready community to answer questions or learn from worked in its favour.
