DevOps
21Dec 2021
In recent years everyone is moving to cloud computing. And having the industry leaders like Amazon, Microsoft and google providing the best cloud computing services any business can be at the crossroad to choose the best suitable and economical cloud software for their business. Judging by just a glance, you might end up thinking AWS, Azure and Google cloud are almost the same. As, they all offer flexible compute, storage and networking with the combination of self-service, instant provisioning, and autoscaling. But that does not mean choosing any one of them can benefit your business. You should choose one keeping your business goals in mind. Let's see which one can be the best fit for your business.
AWS
Amazon is one of the oldest cloud service providers through AWS. As AWS is in the market for a long time, it obviously has the biggest community support and userbase. Amazon web services (AWS) is one of the wildest used cloud platforms providing almost 175 features and functionalities like content delivery, data storage and many more. Some of the well-known firms like Netflix, Airbnb, Unilever, BMW, Samsung uses AWS as their cloud platform.
Azure
Microsoft introduced Azure as a cloud platform in 2010 and renamed it to Microsoft Azure in 2014. Even from the day, it was launched, Azure has shown constant progress in providing efficient services and users as well. Microsoft Azure making its mark on providing amazing functionality like networking, storage, analytics, virtual computing. It is widely used as PaaS( platform as a service) IaaS (infrastructure as a service), and SaaS (software as a service). Industry leaders like Apple, HP, Honeywell, Polycom are currently using Azure as their cloud platform.
Google Cloud
There is no space where you can not find google providing their business. That is true for cloud platforms as well. Google was the last one to enter the race among the three of them. But it is one of the most promising cloud platforms that ever exist. Google introduced its cloud services on the 7th of April in 2008. GCP is gaining more users by providing error-free features like networking, cloud management, data storage, machine learning, the internet of things and many more. It has already won the clients like 20th Century Fox, Bloomberg, Dominos and these are just a few names.
If you have concluded that each one of them provides amazing service and that can not be any shortcoming, then you are wrong. Each of them has its own list of pros and cons. Let's see what it could be.
AWS:

AWS vs Azure vs Google Cloud: What is Best for You?
Apart from the pros & cons and pricing structure of all three cloud platforms, we should consider some other things as well before finally concluding on which is the best suitable cloud platform for your business.
- Establishment: As mentioned above AWS was the first one to introduce the cloud service, AWS is clearly the winner over here.
- Availability Zones: AWS has a greater number of regions and availability zones compared to Azure and GCP.
- Market Share: AWS has around one-third of the market share under its name.
- Growth Rate: GCP has an almost 100% of growth rate.
- Services: If we focus on who provides more services then heads down to AWS. But if we focus on integration with open-source and on-premise systems then we should say Azure comes first.
- Pricing Structure: If you are looking for a pocket-friendly cloud platform then GCP is your go-to option.
Conclusion
If we focus on the above comparison, anyone can tell that AWS stands above all. But that does not conclude AWS will always be there. While Azure is focusing on providing more integrated services, GCP is also keen to provide the best possible outcomes. when it comes to you, you should always go for those that can develop a custom multi-cloud functionality that fulfils all your requirements while providing unique performance and security.
