On Monday, shares of Microsoft surged after a positive note from Morgan Stanley suggested that the company’s public cloud offerings would lift its market valuation to $1 trillion within the next year. Interestingly, on the race to $1 trillion, Microsoft is not the only firm betting big on the public cloud.

Amazon and its high-margin Amazon Web Services platform are also dominant public cloud players, while Alphabet’s Google Cloud Platform claims to be the fastest-growing major public cloud service in the world. It seems that the race to $1 trillion in market cap will be influenced by this budding tech trend.

On this week’s show, Ryan breaks defines what the public cloud is and describes how Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet are each working to bolster their offerings with machine learning and artificial intelligence.

The host also illustrates how the public cloud market could be big enough for all three of these tech companies to grab a sizable share. Make sure to check out the show to hear more!
