Public Cloud Provider Adoption Rates: All Organizations

The Flexera 2022 State of the Cloud Report survey looked into the public clouds that organizations are leveraging.

For each public cloud provider, survey respondents specified on whether they’re running significant workloads in that cloud; running some workloads; experimenting, plan to use it or had no plans to use it.

AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform are the top three public cloud providers in North America. But for the first time, Flexera said Azure has closed the gap with AWS, while other cloud providers have not shown much growth year over year.

Azure has a 77 percent adoption rate, followed by AWS at 76 percent, then GCP at 48 percent.

Compared to last year’s Flexera 2021 State of the Cloud report, AWS had the highest adoption rate at 77 percent, followed by Azure at 73 percent, then GCP at 47 percent.
