谷歌云平台：是谷歌开发并于2008年公开推出的一套云计算服务。谷歌云平台提供IaaS、PaaS和无服务器计算环境。一个相对较新的 Google Cloud Platform 拥有开发人员和专业人士所需的所有工具和服务。
亚马逊网络服务(AWS)：提供按需云计算平台和 API。 AWS 平台最初于 2002 年推出。然而，AWS 于 2006 年正式重新推出，推出了 Amazon S3 云存储、SQS 和 EC2 三个初始服务产品。 AWS 包含超过 212 项服务，包括计算、存储、网络、数据库、分析、应用程序服务、部署、管理、开发人员工具等。 在服务方面，AWS 比竞争对手更具优势，因为 AWS 提供的服务数量比任何同时代的人都要多。
