There are many companies providing with the cloud computing but there are few leading such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon etc.
Despite many similarities, there is point which are could be analyzed and used for spitting differences between the two platforms and choose accordingly.
AWS VS AZURE: COMPARISION
There are some headings under AWS VS AZURE which the comparison could be done:
1) Features of both the cloud platforms
2) Compute
3) database and storage provided
4) The network provided for communication
5) Pricing factors of both cloud platforms
1) FEATURES OF BOTH CLOUD PLATFORMS
The aspects such as the data analytics and the visualization techniques and other technical support are covered by both Azure and AWS, but according to the stats, there is a huge number of believers who find Azure as a more preferable choice in this area. While in comparing both of the platforms have their own unique way of distribution of elements of a different kind.
In this era of constant competition and tough market, one needs to be on constant growth and for maintaining the growth rate one must be careful making decisions about the next step to be taken similarly for choosing the cloud one must focus on the requirements and also the economical substitutes for the same.
The basic question which arises before the selection of the platform does your business needs an efficient costing in the first place or not, and rest of the things still stand second on the priority list for selecting the platform.
When we talk about technological advancements and the introduction of machine learning tools in the systems both of the cloud platforms provider is well leveled in the race as both have included the machine learning tools and also advance features like server less computing etc. Both provide a more free hand to the customer and also a better service so that the working becomes easier and faster. Conclusively both the platform providers are equally strong in this aspect.
Microsoft Azure hereby felicitates the customers with numerous features, they also end up providing different add-on in the capabilities of the customers depending upon the traffic of users, such kind of features help the organization to earn profits.
2) COMPUTE:
AWS the Amazon Web services help themselves and the customers by providing EC2 instances, these are designed to be comprised with a huge number of options. This platform also brings up a new service EC2 container for performing certain activities such as application deployment etc. These EC2 instances are however equal to a virtual server and are immensely beneficial.
Azure
Azure brings up the option of Virtual machines which are an IaaS service which hereby allows the deployment and management of things inside a VNet.
For successful proceeding of large scale parallel and high-performance computing, Azure provided us with Azure batch which is said to be a managed service.
3) DATABASE AND STORAGE:-
AWS
Taking a look in the database and storage offered by the Amazon Web services we get the elastic block storage (EBS), it also gives the large volume data transfer service for the input and output data packets, also includes the pack of Simple Storage (S3), Elastic File System (EFS), being the most important part the backup storage the AWS is loaded with glacier archive backup and storage gateway which unified with the aura of the premise.
Azure
Microsoft Azure takes the opportunity to present us with its own Azure blob block storage as well as a queue. Moreover Azure provided the Core Azure storage services and also the Azure backup with import-export and site recovery options.
4) NETWORKING PROVIDED FOR COMMUNICATION
In this part of the comparison, the competition between both the platforms remains neck to neck and they probably offer the same things to their customers making the situation a tie in this case. Both of the servers offers efficient network services keeping in mind the load balancing at automated servers and connectivity with the system on premises.
5) PRICING FACTORS OF BOTH CLOUD PLATFORMS
Money is all that matters when it comes to business and providing better services at a lower cost with no doubt increases the traffic of customers as well the benefits. Keeping this in mind both the platforms have surprisingly cut down there prices which in terms resulted beneficially for both customers and the organization.
