Cloud Infrastructure
Cloud infrastructure shows a fragmented landscape where traditional hyperscalers (Azure 51%, AWS 26%, Oracle 24%) compete alongside container orchestration (Kubernetes 51%), infrastructure-as-code tooling (HashiCorp 30%), and emerging edge/GPU specialists (Cloudflare 22%, Lambda 19%). The uniform model_diversity=4 across top brands indicates no single LLM dominates recommendations, suggesting infrastructure choices depend heavily on specific workload requirements rather than consensus best practices. Zero prompt coverage reveals these are entirely model-initiated recommendations rather than user queries.
