right as soon as you see aws and azure are competing against sap and salesforce, you know they’re not measuring what most of HN thinks of as “cloud”.

You are right that most of what SAP does is in the SaaS market, so not "cloud" as in IaaS. SAP _does_ have IaaS offerings, but it's not something that's open to everyone. This is one example: https://news.sap.com/2018/03/sap-hana-enterprise-cloud-a-str...

> SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud [...] is SAP’s private managed cloud. It was launched in 2013 to help customers accelerate their adoption of SAP HANA.

This is a cloud environment in the narrower sense, but it's only open to pre-existing customers as far as I know. I also don't know if they're still accepting new customers or not.

Source/Disclosure: I work at SAP in Cloud Infrastructure. Don't ask me for details on our product portfolio though, I'm too low-level for that.
