Abstract

Cloud computing is the key "national infrastructure" to win the competition in the intelligent era. At present, the global cloud computing market is highly concentrated, showing a "3A" pattern, while China's cloud computing market is a "one superpower and many powers" pattern. This paper makes a comparative analysis of Alibaba Cloud and Amazon Web Service (AWS) from four aspects: overall strength, operating income and profit level, research investment and innovation capability, business model and policy environment. To promote the development of China's cloud computing industry, efforts should be made from four aspects: environment and security, technology and application, industry and ecology, and international exchange and cooperation.
