I do not have an accurate big picture nor a decent set of data to work with, but here are a few google hits that do not inspire confidence, just anecdotal stuff of course....

Here's a link to their identity and access management UG... https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html?icmpid=docs_iam_console Browsing through it briefly makes me wonder what an AWS secure key repository and management tools might look like. Having been the victim of a minor identity theft myself in recent years, probably adds to my skepticism about cloud service provider security claims.

What I fear is that Amazon and Microsoft both have a far better idea of what cloud computing is and how to do it than does IBM. I also suspect that Amazon has all of their computing on their cloud and is very well aware of the need for high security and has worked very hard to achieve it. Microsoft based on my experience with their Knowledge Center (repository for fixes and the equivalent of PTF cover letters) seems to understand high availability better than IBM based on postings here on ibm-main.
