Apple confirms it uses Google's cloud for iCloud

3.完整新聞內文:
A file that Apple updated on its website last month provides the first
acknowledgment that it's relying on Google's public cloud for data storage
for its iCloud services.

The disclosure is fresh evidence that Google's cloud has been picking up
usage as it looks to catch up with Amazon and Microsoft in the cloud
infrastructure business.

Some media outlets reported on Google's iCloud win in 2016, but Apple never
provided confirmation.

Apple periodically publishes new versions of a PDF called the iOS Security
Guide. For years the document contained language indicating that iCloud
services were relying on remote data storage systems from Amazon Web
Services, as well as Microsoft's Azure.

But in the latest version, the Microsoft Azure reference is gone, and in its
place is Google Cloud Platform. Before the January update, Apple most
recently updated the iOS Security Guide in March.

The latest update doesn't indicate whether Apple is using any Google cloud
services other than core storage of "objects" like photos and videos. The
document also doesn't make it clear when Apple started storing data in
Google's cloud. Microsoft declined to comment. Apple didn't respond to a
request for comment.

Earlier this month Google said its public cloud and its G Suite line of
cloud-based productivity apps contribute $1 billion in revenue per quarter.
In the fourth quarter, market leader Amazon Web Services brought in $5.11
billion in revenue.

In addition to Apple, other Google public cloud customers include Kroger,
PayPal, Snap and Spotify.

5.備註:
過去蘋果的iOS安全指南文件都會說iCloud依賴AWS、Azure等等
但是最近的更新版Azure沒了，改用Google Cloud Platform

Google 雲端系統穩定好用獲得蘋果認證，老大哥亞馬遜會不會抖呢？
