Differences between AWS,AZURE and Google Cloud

In this post you will understand the difference between Amazon Web Services, Azure and Google Cloud Platform. Cloud computing becomes more and more popular. Now companies can focus completely on the product they’re creating without any worries on the infrastructure issue. If we learn carefully the situation on the market, we’ll see how many large companies have already taken the advantage of using cloud platforms. As for startups, they also prefer managing on the cloud to get rid of extra work and devote more time to the new product or service.

After realizing the importance of Internet services, the next step should be choosing the cloud that is just right for you. Newcomers may look at the price, but this is hardly the only important feature to consider.

Presently, there are three main market players that will take your attention: AWS vs. Azure vs. Google. These projects are competing with each other all the time, and their fierce battle has established low prices and an excellent set of features.

Amazon

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the oldest and most experienced player on the market – it has 11 years in operation (established at the beginning of 2006). AWS has an extensive list of computing services with functions of deployment, mobile networking, and others. It Offers the most infrastructure as a service offerings such as low level computing (EC2), storage (S3), VPC (networking), database (RDS) with support for various operating systems (Windows, Many Linux flavors) with a vast 3rd party marketplace called AWS Marketplace where vendors provide their add-ons.

Pioneer for serverless computing with Lambda, and now Fargate/Elastic Kubernetes Service.

While Amazon has more product and feature offerings, it requires professional setup to operate & maintain. AWS gives you building blocks, it is up to you to build it together.

Microsoft

Microsoft Azure was presented in February 2010, and since then it has shown a great promise among its rivals. This platform can easily be associated with AWS – both of them provide their custom with a full set of services.

Google

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) started their journey on October 6. 2011. For now, they’ve had 5 years during which they’ve managed to create a good presence in the industry. Initially, the push was done to strengthen their own services such as Google or YouTube. But they went further and created enterprise services – now anyone can use their cloud platform.

The newest entrant to the market, offers mostly Platform as Service offerings like Machine Learning as a Service, Kubernetes as a Service etc. However, Google does not offer as many product offerings.

Google pioneered Kubernetes and is the leader in terms of delivering a truly managed Kubernetes experience

Price can be cheaper than AWS and Microsoft due to the PaaS nature of the product, may require less building.
