What Yandex.Cloud does

Yandex.Cloud operates as the B2B cloud and enterprise technology arm of the Yandex group, headquartered in Moscow, Russia. It provides a public cloud platform offering scalable infrastructure, data storage, machine learning services, and development tools, alongside Yandex 360 (virtual office and collaboration services) and Yandex AI Studio (a dedicated AI/ML build-train-deploy platform). The business serves 51,000 external clients on its cloud platform and over 170,000 organizational users on its productivity offering.

The underlying technology spans infrastructure-as-a-service, platform services, applied AI tooling, and information security capabilities, all reported under the broader Yandex B2B Tech umbrella. The 2025 product portfolio generated 27.6 billion rubles in Yandex Cloud revenue (39% year-over-year growth), 18.4 billion rubles in Yandex 360 revenue (59% growth), and 2 billion rubles in Yandex AI Studio revenue (100% growth), with information security revenues growing 2.5x. Combined B2B Tech revenue reached 48.2 billion rubles, growing 48% year-over-year.

The revenue model is enterprise subscription and consumption-based cloud services, sold to a distributed base of external corporate clients. As a business unit within the Yandex group rather than a standalone listed entity, Yandex.Cloud benefits from parent-company distribution, brand equity, and integrated technology assets, but its independent corporate structure, ownership splits, and standalone financials beyond the reported segment figures are not disclosed in the available sources.

Direct peers

• VK Cloud (VK Tech): VK Cloud is the public cloud business of VK Group, the other major Russian technology conglomerate. It directly competes with Yandex.Cloud on IaaS/PaaS, managed databases, and AI services for Russian enterprises, and is the closest head-to-head competitor inside the same addressable market.
• Selectel: Selectel is a leading Russian cloud, colocation, and dedicated server provider serving enterprises and SMBs. It competes directly with Yandex.Cloud on virtual infrastructure, managed Kubernetes, and storage across the same Russian customer base.
• Cloud.ru (formerly SberCloud): Cloud.ru is the cloud platform spun out of Sber, one of Russia's largest banks and technology investors. It is a direct Russian competitor offering public cloud infrastructure, AI/ML services, and government-grade cloud regions overlapping Yandex.Cloud's portfolio.
• Rostelecom Cloud: Rostelecom Cloud is the cloud services arm of Russia's national telecom operator, providing IaaS, PaaS, and government/regulated workloads. It is a domestic direct peer competing for state and enterprise cloud contracts in the same Russian market.

Emerging players

• Timeweb Cloud: Timeweb Cloud is a fast-growing Russian cloud and hosting provider with strong SMB and developer mindshare. It overlaps with Yandex.Cloud on virtual servers, managed databases, and Kubernetes, though at a smaller scale and a more SMB-tilted customer mix.

Broad incumbents

• Amazon Web Services (AWS): AWS is the global hyperscaler benchmark for public cloud infrastructure and platform services. While most Russian enterprises cannot deploy workloads there directly, AWS defines the feature, pricing, and managed-service expectations that Yandex.Cloud must meet to retain enterprise customers.
• Microsoft Azure: Microsoft Azure is a global hyperscaler with strong enterprise identity, productivity (Microsoft 365), and AI integrations. It competes indirectly with Yandex.Cloud + Yandex 360 for multinational customers with Russian operations and sets the productivity-suite benchmark.
• Google Cloud: Google Cloud is a global hyperscaler with particular strength in data analytics, Kubernetes (GKE), and AI/ML tooling. It is an aspirational benchmark for Yandex AI Studio and a competitor for any cross-border enterprise workloads.
• Alibaba Cloud: Alibaba Cloud is the dominant Asia-based hyperscaler with deep enterprise presence in emerging markets. It is a useful comparable for Yandex.Cloud's playbook of leveraging a parent ecosystem to scale cloud, AI, and productivity services into a domestic enterprise base.

Regional players

• OVHcloud: OVHcloud is a European-headquartered public cloud and bare-metal provider with strong data-sovereignty positioning. It is comparable as a regional cloud champion focused on regulated workloads, mirroring Yandex.Cloud's domestic-sovereignty narrative in Russia.
