About this area
Cloud is a topic profile in the API Evangelist Network covering the major public cloud platforms and their APIs. The topic indexes the hyperscalers (Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, IBM Cloud, Alibaba Cloud) alongside developer-focused alternatives (DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, Hetzner, Scaleway), GPU and AI clouds (CoreWeave, Crusoe, Lambda Labs, RunPod), and edge / network-attached compute (Cloudflare Workers, Fastly Compute, Akamai Connected Cloud). It is the parent topic to specialized profiles in the network such as cloud-storage, cloud-cost-management, and cloud-native.
