Of course, that is kind of pointless without knowing the exact number. And given Alphabet, Google\u2019s parent company, reported overall revenue of $25.8 billion for the quarter, it\u2019s likely a few drops in the bucket.<\/p>\n<p>Google puts cloud in its \u201cOther Revenue\u201d list alongside things such as the Google Play app store, which likely accounted for much more revenue. Revenue in that category was $3.1 billion, up 42 percent from this time last year.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"nativo-promo smartphone\"><\/aside>\n<h3>Google Cloud Platform considered trustworthy<\/h3>\n<p>Pichai said Google Cloud Platform is doing more and more business with large enterprise customers \u201cin regulated sectors.\u201d That\u2019s significant because the regulated sectors, like healthcare and finance, are the slowest to move to the cloud and are extremely picky about their provider. They must comply with all manner of complex regulation, and that\u2019s not easy to do.<\/p>\n<p>Landing customers in regulated sectors means Google Cloud Platform can be trusted to handle sensitive data for these industries. That\u2019s a strong message for Amazon and Microsoft, which are also certified in areas such as healthcare.<\/p>\n<p>Google said it invested $2.8 billion in production equipment, facilities and data center construction during the quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Market research firm Canalys recently noted that Amazon Web Services (AWS) continues to be the most dominant of the cloud providers, but it is growing more slowly than its rivals. It put Amazon\u2019s cloud business at around $3.5 billion in Q1 of 2017 with 43 percent year-over-year growth, put Microsoft at $1.5 billion with 93 percent growth, and put both Google and IBM well under $1 billion, with 74 percent growth for Google and 38 percent for Big Blue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google has long run a distant third behind Amazon and Microsoft in the cloud services business, but it finally seems to be catching some momentum, if the most recent quarter is an indicator of future trajectory.
