Per quanto riguarda il public cloud, in particolare i servizi di tipo IaaS, al momento i più usati sono Xen (poiché AWS ne utilizza una versione customizzata) e Hyper-V (visto che è alla base di Azure). Cambia tutto nell’e infrastrutture on-prem poché ESXi (e vSphere) rimane la soluzione più utilizzata, con Hyper-V e KVM che seguono, ma ancora da lontano.
