AWS ahead in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) for the 7th consecutive year, earning highest placement for ability to execute and furthest for completeness of vision.
AWS remains the dominant market leader, not only in IaaS, but also in integrated IaaS+PaaS, with an end-of-2016 revenue run rate of more than $14 billion.
Microsoft Azure is second in market share, not only in IaaS, but also in integrated IaaS+PaaS. It has sustained a very high growth rate over multiple years, and Gartner estimates its end-of-2016 revenue run rate as approximately $3 billion.
A musicl analysis of Sgt Pepper on BBC last night, after a chance meeting with Steve Engelkind and talking of Arun Gandhi prompted me to listen to Within you and Without you again after more than 30 years. George Harrison was much cleverer than he appeared to be, as illustrated by the songtext below, particularly the last verse.
Turn off your mind
Relax and float downstream
It is not dying
It is not dying
We were talking, about the space between us all
And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late
When they pass away
We were talking, about the love we all could share
When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love
