Sure it is, I have no doubts about it's growing use. But that use is still in nascent stage so when Microsoft is reporting a sudden increase in cloud revenue is actually nothing but smart manipulation of ELA terms.
In reality Enterprise Customer aren't cloud ready . Simply running on premises virtual machines into cloud does not result in any benefits. Enterprise customers are not yet there to realize the cloud benefits like on-demand compute, containerization, resource right sizing. Though Windows 2016 might tip that balance.
