They should also have included oracle which will soon surpass google (making it 5th most popular) cloud

I seriously doubt it. Only companies already heavily invested in Oracle are taking their offering seriously. They are pretty late to the party.

Surely, if we were including other clouds, we'd include IBM before Oracle... :))

I would add Alibaba Cloud before them too :)

These reports behind an email wall frustrate me to no end. I don't want to receive your spam to read a single article!

Its rather expensive (and time consuming) to produce reports like this. They are doing it to generate leads.

Narrator: No they aren’t.

They’re going to generate unsubs and spam reports.

Notice how the responses are honest ones, where people would rather skip the report than supply their real email address? The target demographic are tech savvy, so 90% of the leads are going to be 10MM email addresses. The popularity of this thread illustrate that there is a need/use for this content - so Cockroach nailed the bait, but have massively overshot the type of trap required to convert these savvy mice.

That 10minutemail workaround is easy to block, just require a business domain and a use a verification link.

Right! 10mm and many others are on our blacklist when we collect email (2-opt-in newsletter and sign-up)

> ...in 2018, AWS outperformed GCP by 40%, which we attributed to AWS’s Nitro System present in c5 and m5 series... In 2020, we see a return to similar overall performance in each cloud.

How did GCP and Azure catch-up to AWS Nitro in one year which IIRC is a coming together of minimalistic micro-vms, hardware-accelerated network and IO cards, hardware offload for encryption and other maintenance tasks... a work that was 5 years in the making [0]?
