They're one of the top, if not the top, cloud providers. It's not surprising to mention AWS here, and GP also mentions Azure...

I’m aware that I’m inviting a “bad bot” riposte by saying this, but it’s:

> one of the top cloud providers, if not the top

rather than:

> one of the top, if not the top, cloud providers

since the latter cashes out to:

> one of the top cloud providers, if not the top cloud providers

(Sorry. I know it’s annoying … but it’s my life’s mission to eradicate this particular construct.)

I like it, thanks.

My pleasure - thanks for being magnanimous about it!

“In April 2021, Canalys reported that AWS has a market share of about 32%, while Azure ranks after it with a 19% share.”

AWS is probably ~20% above others from sources I know that work on AWS and Azure billing teams.
