Between AWS and Azure, what is your platform of choice? What makes it your preferred platform?

There are a set of open questions and decisions to prefer one or another cloud, just a few of that:


1. Region availability (to store sensitive data like payments or PHI data locally) - both providers have a set of not overlapping regions.


2. Specific services - both providers propose some unique services for test/voice recognition, IoT, machine learning, integration with different CDNs, etc.


3. Price - providers or resellers could propose various discounts based on your needs, grants, and other cost-reducing offers.


4. Technology stack and current infrastructure: AWS is more-less platform-agnostic and has a richer set of available services. Azure has more integration with Microsofts stack (Azure Active Directory, .NET support, and others).

From my understanding both platforms provide reliable storage  services. AWS has services like  EBS, Glacier and AWS S3 while Azure storage services blob storage, disk storage and archives. AWS S3 provides high availability and automatic replication across regions. Azure uses temporary storage and page blobs for VM volume.

Azure if you are/want to continue to be a tight-knit microsoft shop (.net/outlook/forms/mssql)


AWS if you are/want to be the next-gen open-source distributed shop with pre-tested reliable components

Both the cloud providers provide you slimier functions and features but Its depend on your application tech stack type if it is based on Microsoft .net and you require to use specific Microsoft components so you should go with Azure because it will cost you high on AWS and if it is linux based or more opensource you should considered AWS instead of Azure.

AWS, Azure, Google, and IBM are all major cloud providers offering a broad range of Cloud Computing services. Here is a brief overview of the cloud solutions provided by each provider: AWS, or Amazon Web Services, is considered by many as the most mature and oldest cloud provider. It offers cloud services like computing, storage, networking, databases, analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. AWS is known for being reliable, stable, and secure. Microsoft Azure is another platform that offers the same cloud services as AWS and is known for its integration with Microsoft products and services. Google Cloud Platform is another with several cloud services, such as storage, computing, networking, analytics, databases, AI, and machine learning. GCP is popular for its innovation and its focus on open-source software. IBM Cloud is another platform that provides various services, such as the ones mentioned above. Users like this cloud platform because of its hybrid cloud capabilities and focus on enterprise customers. All four cloud providers offer a high level of security for their cloud platforms. However, there are some differences in their security approaches, as mentioned below: They say AWS has strong security features like encryption, access control, and auditing. It also offers several security services, including AWS GuardDuty and AWS WAF. Azure is also known for its strong security features and many security services, such as Azure Security Center and Azure Sentinel. GCP focuses on security and offers various security services, such as Cloud Key Management Service (KMS) and Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM). IBM Cloud is popular for its hybrid cloud capabilities and focuses on enterprise security. IBM Cloud has many security services, such as IBM Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) and IBM Cloud Key Management Service (KMS). All four cloud providers offer a high level of security, so the best cloud platform will still depend on your needs and requirements. It would be difficult to say which cloud platform is least secure, as all four providers offer a high level of security. However, some factors to consider when choosing a cloud platform include: Security track record Security features Security services
