Which Cloud Is Better?
August 20, 2020
DarkCyber noted “AWS Vs. Azure: Key Differences and Business Benefits.” This is a free analysis. The write up offers some interesting points, and we suggest that you consult the original for the nuances and additional details.
Key points we noted:
- A cloud is mostly neutral. The developer and tech team’s experience and knowledge make the difference.
- Migration is easier if the technology professional has experience with a particular cloud.
- More advanced cloud features cost more money; for instance, machine learning.
- Prices are about the same regardless of cloud vendor.
- AWS is better with open source technology.
- Cloud providers are becoming adept at matching other cloud vendors’ offerings. But in the hybrid cloud game, Microsoft is number one.
The write up includes a league table. What’s interesting is that the Alibaba cloud business is within spitting distance of Google’s market share.
