The ''Communication'' set out a series of "digital agenda actions" which the Commission proposed to undertake in order to support the development of a fair and effective market for cloud computing services.<ref name=ec529 />{{rp|Pages 6–14}}
== Cloud Computing Vendors ==
As of 2025, the three largest cloud computing providers by market share, commonly referred to as hyperscalers, are Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. <ref>{{Cite web |title=Global cloud infrastructure market share 2024 {{!}} Statista |url=https://www.statista.com/statistics/967365/worldwide-cloud-infrastructure-services-market-share-vendor/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250118002217/https://www.statista.com/statistics/967365/worldwide-cloud-infrastructure-services-market-share-vendor/ |archive-date=2025-01-18 |access-date=2025-03-20 |website=Statista |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Gartner Says Worldwide IaaS Public Cloud Services Revenue Grew 16.2% i |url=https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2024-07-22-gartner-says-worldwide-iaas-public-cloud-services-revenue-grew-16-point-2-percent-in-2023 |access-date=2025-03-20 |website=Gartner |language=en}}</ref> These companies dominate the global cloud market due to their extensive infrastructure, broad service offerings, and scalability.
In recent years, organizations have increasingly adopted alternative cloud providers, which offer specialized services that distinguish them from hyperscalers. These providers may offer advantages such as lower costs, improved cost transparency and predictability, enhanced data sovereignty (particularly within regions such as the European Union to comply with regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)), stronger alignment with local regulatory requirements, or industry-specific services. <ref name=":10">{{Cite book |last=Linthicum |first=David |title=AN INSIDER'S GUIDE TO CLOUD COMPUTING |date=2022 |publisher=ADDISON WESLEY |isbn=978-0-13-793578-9 |___location=Erscheinungsort nicht ermittelbar}}</ref>
Alternative cloud providers are often part of multi-cloud strategies, where organizations use multiple cloud services—both from hyperscalers and specialized providers—to optimize performance, compliance, and cost efficiency. However, they do not necessarily serve as direct replacements for hyperscalers, as their offerings are typically more specialized. <ref name=":10" />
