DavidLinthicum · x · 2026-07-15

Incumbent giants like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud have already established deep moats, making it difficult for Meta to offer more meaningful or cheaper services. The author predicts this move may fade into the background within six months, as the cloud market rewards execution rather than mere intent.
