Effects of cloud optimization on cloud companies

Recent earnings and survey data indicate that the negative impact of cloud optimization on cloud companies is reaching its peak. Snowflake's recent contract renewal with Microsoft is expected to improve its traction with Microsoft Azure, which has favored Databricks in the past. Google, however, is focused on building its own data cloud stack rather than supporting Snowflake.
