Last week we saw a headline proclaiming that Amazon Web Services won serverless. We’ve already written about all the data presented in that article, but we came away with a different conclusion. To clarify matters, we re-ran the Cloud Native Computing Foundation survey data to include 187 responses that came from a supplementary survey to a Mandarin-speaking audience. Then, we looked at how usage of cloud providers for containers differed as compared to those companies’ functions as a service (FaaS) offering.
Almost every one of the 761 people CNCF survey respondents already use containers, so we know that the sample was of at least relatively early adopters. Of this group, two-thirds deploy containers to an AWS environment. When just looking at the 29 percent of the sample that uses serverless, about three-quarters said they use AWS Lambda. That is 43 percentage points more than its nearest rival, Google Cloud Functions.
