in the world? ali baba would like to have a word

True, but Alibaba does do cloud. Facebook and Tencent are far and away the biggest web companies that don’t do some sort of B2B cloud offering.

My bad! I meant any exposure outside of mainland China. However it appears as if Alibaba Cloud may have almost none either. I also did not know Tencent cloud was in double digit Chinese market share now. So yeah, incorrect there. On the whole, Facebook is the one web giant across the world that does not do cloud computing at all or much enterprise.

Both Alibaba and Tencent cloud have presence outside mainland China. Hong Kong and the south east Asia most, but also in the Silicon Valley. You haven’t heard of that because they are not that successful in the US.

Ah interesting. I was trying to find market shares outside mainland China, but couldn't in my quick searching. I'll try looking again later.

Yeah, I've heard of trying ovh [cloud]. That's the only non-American company's cloud I've heard about trying. Oracle and one another, maybe IBM?, are the only non-big three clouds I've ever looked at. Mostly because of their better free tiers and/or healthy free credits.

Ah yes. Fair point.
