Liftr Insights recently released data that sheds light on the age of infrastructure for various cloud providers in North America. The data indicates that Microsoft Azure has older infrastructure in both the East and West regions compared to AWS. Liftr tracks data from the top six cloud providers, which represent over 75% of the public cloud space. This data allows market intelligence analysts to see where public cloud providers are focusing their investments.
When comparing AWS and Azure in terms of aging infrastructure, Liftr data shows that in the East region, 69% of infrastructure is over 3 years old for both providers. However, AWS has added 19% in the last year compared to Azure’s 12%. In the West region, AWS has only 64% of infrastructure over 3 years old, while Azure has 76%. AWS is also investing over 25% in newer instance types in the West, compared to 7% for Azure.
Azure stands out in the central part of North America, where it has more recent investments compared to AWS in its East or West regions. In its Central regions, Azure offers less than 63% of older instance types, with over 26% added in the past year. This growth is attributed to Azure expanding into new regions.
