Cloud computing offers investors a wide range of opportunities that span internet infrastructure, as well as consumer and business services delivered via fast connections to the web. The industry leaders and top cloud stocks cover a similarly wide range, from Amazon.com (AMZN) and Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) to Microsoft (MSFT), Alibaba (BABA) and Oracle (ORCL).

To visualize the internet cloud, think of warehouse-sized data centers packed with computer servers and data storage systems. Then think of the cloud supply chain.

Companies such as Intel (INTC), artificial intelligence (AI) leader Nvidia (NVDA) and Micron Technology (MU) sell chips built into servers. Fiber-optic device makers sell parts for high-speed communications networks. Seagate Technology sells solid-state data storage systems. Arista Networks (ANET) and Cisco Systems (CSCO) sell specialized network switches and routers that make the cloud superfast.

Cloud Computing Services

The biggest buyers of data center infrastructure are Amazon Web Services, Microsoft's Azure and Alphabet's Google, as well as consumer-facing companies like Apple (AAPL) and Facebook (FB).

Cloud computing services are new growth engines for AWS, Microsoft and Google. Companies rent their powerful computers and software platforms to process business workloads remotely via the web. Apple relies on cloud infrastructure for its fast-growing services business, whisking music and other content to iPhones.

Companies like Salesforce.com (CRM) that offer subscription-based software-as-a-services (SaaS) arrived before the term cloud computing was coined. Many SaaS companies are now working with AWS and other cloud vendors to reach new markets.
