According to foreign media reports, the U.S. High-tech market research company Forrester three quarters of U.S. enterprise developers to the understanding of cloud computing conducted a survey. Amazon and Microsoft are leading the cloud, but many users still don't know "platform-as-service" (PaaS) and "infrastructure as Services" (IaaS), according to new reports.

The survey found that Amazon's cloud computing Services (AWS) had an absolute advantage in the development community, but Microsoft Windows Azure was growing fast. It is also noteworthy that there are fewer platform users, such as OpenStack and Rackspace.

Respondents said the use of Amazon and Windows Azure would grow, and respondents disagreed about Force.com, Google App engine and Rackspace.

The PAAs is still an emerging cloud computing market, Forrester says, with many developers confusing the difference between PAAs and IaaS.

Forrester says Amazon, Rackspace and Microsoft are building "walled gardens" that integrate infrastructure and platform services (meaning closed to the outside), which has also led users to blur the boundaries of the two services. Forrester predicts Amazon will add more services to its cloud computing platform.

The survey found that the response rate is still the developer Cloud Choice Cloud computing service provider is the primary consideration.

The survey shows that the enterprise's internal application software is the developer's primary consideration of cloud application services. Respondents said they would deploy more staff for social and collaborative applications next year.

In the next few years, enterprise developers will deploy more program code on the cloud computing platform, where JavaScript becomes the mainstream development language.
