The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Strategic Cloud Platform Services is widely recognised as one of the most authoritative benchmarks for evaluating cloud providers. It examines vendors through two critical lenses: their ability to execute; and the completeness of their vision. For enterprise buyers, analysts and IT leaders, this independent assessment provides a trusted view of which providers deliver the strongest combination of innovation, reliability and customer value.
AWS trusted leadership recognised again
In 2025, Amazon Web Services (AWS) was once again named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Strategic Cloud Platform Services, marking its fifteenth consecutive year in this position. This achievement makes AWS the longest-running leader in the category, consistently ranking among the highest in both execution and vision. Over the years, AWS has built a global infrastructure that spans multiple regions and availability zones, offering an unmatched breadth of services from compute and storage to artificial intelligence, machine learning, analytics and the Internet of Things. AWS’s commitment to continuous innovation ensures that customers have access to the latest capabilities to meet evolving business needs.
What this award means for customers
