| Description | Amazon’s Web Services is a leading cloud computing provider and has been a go-to for fast-growing web startups like Foursquare, Quora and Paper.li. |
| GigaOM’s Take | Although Amazon Web Services was recently in the news because of a prolonged outage, it’s still a cloud computing pioneer and arguably the most innovative cloud provider around.
