Source: SEC EDGAR, each company's 10-Q and 10-K filings. Capex is capital spending over the last twelve months, a flow; leases signed but not yet commenced and purchase obligations are future payments the company has committed to, as each discloses them at its latest quarter end. Filed figures only, no forecasts. Purchase obligations are shown where filings carry a comparable figure (not Microsoft or Alphabet).

What each cloud giant spent on capital over the past year, stacked with the data-center leases it has signed that have not started and the purchases it has committed to: all from filings, no forecasts.
