Alibaba Cloud shakes up Gartner rankings
Alibaba Cloud has secured leadership positions in two Gartner 2025 Magic Quadrant reports, marking a major leap for the Chinese tech giant in the global cloud computing race.
The company was named a Leader in both Container Management and Cloud-Native Application Platforms, categories long dominated by U.S.-based providers.
The recognition underscores Alibaba Cloud’s expanding influence as enterprises accelerate digital transformation and adopt AI-driven cloud solutions.
Gartner said leaders in the reports stand out for offering adaptable, strategically developed services backed by innovation-focused roadmaps.
Alibaba Cloud’s container management tools provide flexibility across public, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments, enabling faster and more efficient application deployment.
The global container management market topped 2.5 billion dollars in 2024, with Gartner predicting that by 2028, nearly all new AI systems will use Kubernetes.
In cloud-native platforms, Alibaba Cloud’s products such as Serverless App Engine, Function Compute, and Container Compute Service enable rapid scaling and integration of AI-powered applications.
The company also announced upgrades to its container system at this year’s Apsara Conference, improving auto-scaling to handle up to 15,000 pods per minute.
Alibaba Cloud said the advancements strengthen its goal to simplify cloud adoption and accelerate enterprise digital growth worldwide.
