As Microsoft seeks to gain ground on Amazon Web Services in the cloud market, number three cloud service provider Google continues to cut its losses.
For its second quarter, Google Cloud (which includes Google Cloud Platform and Google Workspace) shrank its losses to $591 million from the $1.4 billion it lost in Q2 last year.
The continuing losses are mainly down to Google spending big on expanding its global cloud services footprint through new data centres and additional connectivity links.
Google Cloud’s quarterly revenue increased 54% to $4.6 billion.
