Microsoft Azure and AWS' partnership model will make enterprise software companies dependent on cloud providers

While it may seem like a win-win opportunity now, this partnership model will make enterprise software companies increasingly dependent on cloud providers. Together, AWS and Microsoft Azure accounted for 51% of global cloud infrastructure spend in Q2 2020, according to Canalys. This means that AWS and Azure are widely used across the enterprise IT ecosystem, particularly when you consider that many companies use a hybrid cloud model, so they can buy capacity from Google Cloud or Alibaba Cloud and still operate within the AWS or Azure ecosystem.
