Summary

Indonesia stands out as the one Southeast Asian market where Google Cloud Platform has outpaced Amazon Web Services, an atypical result across the Asia Pacific region. Google Cloud's position in the country's public cloud infrastructure market stems from a distinct set of advantages, raising the question of whether rival providers can close the gap.

Google Cloud Platform's early move to establish a local data center region, its anchor relationship with Indonesian flagship startup Gojek, and its competitive pricing strategy resonate with the country's price-sensitive digital native businesses. Strategic alliances with partners including Accenture and XL Axiata have also opened doors into enterprise accounts.

Amazon Web Services, by contrast, got off to a comparatively slower start in Indonesia despite strong regional performance elsewhere, while Microsoft Azure is working to break into the market through large digital native business contracts, and Alibaba Cloud is pushing aggressively into small and medium enterprises through data locality and pricing advantages. Local telecom operators are also positioning themselves as cloud partners in a market still in its early stages of digitalization.

  • Local partnerships with Gojek, Accenture, XL Axiata, and Bukalapak
Can Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure close the gap with Google Cloud Platform as Indonesia's digital economy matures?
