Being the
contemporary cloud giants of the 21st century, AWS, AZURE, and GCP
have a lot to offer. While AWS has years of experience backing it up, GCP seems
to be the prodigy of cloud-based programming, providing limited but premium
services. AZURE is smacked right in the middle, boasting remarkable performance
second only to AWS.
This article takes an
in-depth look at these three giants and provides useful insight into how one is
better than the other.
Amazon Web Services(AWS)
Being the oldest of
the bunch, AWS started its journey in 2006. Is offers an extensive list of
computing services with functions such as database management, storage & security,
deployment, mobile networking, the list goes on.
Amazon also has the
most AWS also has the most number of data zones out the three. Availability
zones are isolated regions where public cloud services originate and operate.
More zones mean you
have access to a lot of resources you handle your work. you depending on your
business, you require 1 or maybe 10, however, the more the merrier. They have
55 of these zones up and running with another 8 on the way.
In terms of share
market, currently the scales are tipped towards AWS while the others(AZURE
& GCP) have respectable shares but are still behind by a lot. Most of the
fortune 500 companies that are interested in could technology have invested in
one of the three giants.
AZURE
AZURE has access to
44 availability zones worldwide with 12 more on the way. though Microsoft was a
tad bit late entering the race, they have expanded greatly in the short period
and successfully managed to compete against the giant of an AWS.
AWS offers 200+
services compared to AZURE’s 100+ services. Nonetheless, what they offer is
more than enough to handle the tasks of any typical company. So it is possible
to conclude that they are on the right track.
However AZURE can
easily integrate with Microsoft tools, providing a lag-free and unhindered
experience. Even in terms of development, AZURE ranks number 1 in the cloud
service list. It’s a nice service that’s been gaining a lot of attention, you
might as well give it a try.
Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
Being the new fish,
Google has kicked everything into the third dimension. Though it lacks the
resources thanks to its late entry into the market, they are making up for it
in terms of sheer features.
Google Cloud Platform
has a total of 18 availability zones with 3 more on the way. Compared to AWS
and AZURE it also offers fewer services and functionality. However, GCP has
shown promising development.
In 2014 both AWS and
AZURE faced a downtime of 2 hours and 39 hours respectively. Google on the
hands was down only for a few minutes. This can be credited to a low workload,
but given its growth worldwide in such a short time, GCP might take the lead in
no time.
All of the above
cloud-based platforms are good at they do, with minor niche setbacks in some
areas. There aren’t any good or bad service providers. You got to choose as per
your requirements. However, Google is offering the cheapest long term rates.
And though its services, it shows a great promise of growth in the coming
years.
