What Google Cloud revenue could tell us about machine learning adoption

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) may be rocking, but if so, Alphabet is keeping it a closely guarded secret. As ZDNet's Larry Dignan has posited, maybe "GCP's revenue doesn't stack up to its rivals yet." No one would be surprised by this, given the lead of several years that AWS, in particular, has had. What would be a nice surprise is to have Google substantiate that its machine learning strength in cloud is paying off with mainstream customers. Sadly, to echo Dignan, we know very little about how Google's cloud business is doing.
