When it comes to public cloud computing, AWS is the market leader. AWS swiftly dominates the industry if you take IaaS (infrastructure as a service), just one subset of the public cloud market. According to Statista, AWS has a 33 percent market share in the IaaS market sector, which is almost as much as the combined market shares of the next two largest vendors, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform. Additionally, given that the overall IaaS industry is less than half the size of the SaaS (software as a service) business, the AWS market share indicates hints of tremendous growth in areas other than IaaS.

AWS had a seven-year advantage over its rivals because it was the first public cloud service to launch on the market in 2006. AWS capitalised on this advantage to the fullest and has been the public cloud provider with the greatest rate of growth ever since. It has continued to expand dramatically, with third-quarter 2021 growth of 39% being one example.

Six to twelve times as many job openings as job seekers are available in the public cloud, and 60 percent of these openings are tied to AWS. Employers in the United States, for instance, claim that it can be difficult to locate someone with general cloud computing expertise. For a very long time to come, this imbalance will persist.
