The report showed Google&#8217;s share increase from 23 percent to 38 percent and Microsoft Azure declined from 48 percent to 38 percent. \u00a0Amazon&#8217;s AWS had a 52 percent market share in the report. \u00a0Because some users had multiple cloud services, the totals didn&#8217;t sum to 100 percent.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div class=\"lightsocial_element\"><a
