Of course, this is no way indicative of the present global situation. Amazon is only one cloud infrastructure service... but maybe you can see a trend?
Of course, in private clouds, Ubuntu is far from being as big as Red Hat but it's making strong inroads in public clouds and they offer support for managing clouds. When companies move from public to private clouds, since they'll be used to Canonical/Ubuntu (CU) products, do you really think they'll move to Red Hat?
So, I've certainly thrown this little sentence you're commenting a little bit too fast. No doubt I should have said something like: "For a small player, Canonical/Ubuntu shows strong /growth/ in the cloud market."
As to the means CU will soon have to plan its development, see my next message.

data to support that. Name me one article in a respected journal that
says that Canonical or Ubuntu is strong in cloud computing compared to
other current providers.
I work in this industry and our business keeps an eye on competitors
and let me assure you, Canonical is not currently a player.
