AWS is the Longest-Running Gartner Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services Magic Quadrant Leader
By Arthur Bailey, Director of Analyst Relations, Compute – AWS
From the fastest-growing startups to the largest enterprises and government agencies, millions of businesses are moving to cloud faster than ever before. The cloud has become ubiquitous for delivering agility, scalability, and user experiences that resonate with both customers and employees.
Recently, Gartner published its 2022 Magic Quadrant for Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services (CIPS) and its companion report, the 2022 Critical Capabilities for CIPS, which evaluate vendors’ infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and integrated platform as a service (PaaS).
At Amazon Web Services (AWS), we believe these reports validate our steadfast commitment to operational and security excellence. AWS continues to innovate at a faster clip than other cloud service providers, especially in new areas such as machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and serverless computing.

We also continue to invest significantly in the AWS Partner Network (APN) and our partner channel, offering best-in-class technical sales support. At every turn, AWS resists the temptation to deviate from reliability in favor of “overhyped” marketing announcements.
Our authenticity is reflected in customer reviews we have received on the Gartner CIPS Peer Insights page for AWS—where AWS has the most reviews of any participant and a score of 4.5/5 (out of 3,298 reviews as of Nov. 15, 2022).
AWS Partners are encouraged to share these reports with customers to:
- Serve as an essential report for evaluating public cloud service providers.
- Select strategic providers by shortlisting those that are most likely to ensure coverage for a broad range of current and future use cases.
- Assess the critical capabilities of cloud infrastructure service providers (CIPS).
AWS Partners can leverage the 2022 Gartner Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services evaluation report as an essential primer to better understand the evolving cloud services landscape, and how they can enhance the value of their unique offerings built on AWS.
We believe AWS Partners should review this report to fully understand how they can drive greater profitability by taking advantage of AWS’s global reach, scalability, and expertise to win deals and identify new business opportunities.
