GCP did not do $9B in revenue. Google Cloud did. That includes GApps.

And by struggling I mean struggling to keep up with Amazon and Microsoft, whose cloud computing units are significantly larger and growing faster in both absolute dollars and by percentage.

In other words they are behind and falling father behind.

Where are those specific numbers? AFAIK they don't split it out from all of Google Cloud.

They don't break them out publicly but they appear in private analyst reports, which are generally very well researched and pretty accurate.

Which are where? Source?

EDIT: I did some quick googling and no one seems to share anything. So where are you getting your guidance may I ask?

From private analyst reports. You basically have to know someone to get them (or pay a truckload of money). Sorry I can't give you a better source.

I'm well aware of their model. So do you personally have access to one? Can you provide a specific number? Or is this all conjecture?
