Every company is eager to increase the size of its cloud infrastructure footprint. On the surface, the choice appears straightforward, but the situation is more complex. Selecting the cloud vendor whose services best suit your company’s demands is essential in a market where everyone claims to be the best. The three biggest companies dominating the cloud business are Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. Due to its more significant market share than Azure and GCP, AWS is able to maintain its position of dominance. Each is distinctive and provides a wide range of choices to its clientele.

AWS has the biggest data centers and is known as a benchmark for the quality of cloud services, whereas Azure aims to take advantage of how simple it is to connect Microsoft tools with the Azure cloud. Similarly, GCP offers the best price structures to assist clients who are concerned about costs. This blog compares the top cloud providers AWS, Azure, and GCP. Let’s investigate them.

Analyzing AWS

Without a doubt, Amazon was a pioneer in the development of cloud computing, and today AWS is the industry standard for cloud service excellence. It dominates the market in terms of both products and clients with more than 170 services. IaaS services provided by AWS are divided into the following categories: computation, databases, content delivery and storage, and networking. AWS uses serverless services like Amazon Kinesis Streams, Amazon SQS Queues, and AWS Lambda Functions to enable a seamless data collection process.

Every function in the Lambda environment is deployed by AWS Lambda on servers running Amazon Linux. Although there are many ways that Lambda functions can communicate with other services on the AWS cloud or elsewhere, the function deployment is limited to the Lambda service. AWS aids businesses in boosting growth and productivity. It aids them in making needs-based decisions about the operating system, web application platform, database, and programming languages.

An evaluation of the Big 3

Despite the fact that AWS currently dominates the industry in terms of capacity and service, Microsoft and Google are also expanding quickly to rival AWS.

AWS is being closely followed by Microsoft in particular due of its concentration on businesses. Google, however, keeps developing its influence by offering top-notch integrations with open-source initiatives and outside services.

Of course, in the end, it all comes down to your unique use case. As the industry expands, the majority of businesses are searching for multi-cloud solutions to take advantage of the benefits each cloud provider offers without being reliant on just one.
