Building on their dominance in the cloud services market, AWS, Azure and Google Cloud are now focused on extending their capabilities to the edge. In this report, we examine the strengths and weaknesses of the big three’s edge computing strategies across their on-premises, network and regional edge offerings to determine who is emerging as a leader at the edge.

AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud accounted for 67% of the cloud infrastructure services market globally in Q2 2024. This substantial lead in market share has primed the big three to launch edge propositions. Indeed, a natural progression from developing extensive cloud fabrics is to distribute it to the edge to enable low-latency and data-sensitive applications.
