Running on Azure vs AWS
Hi, Has anyone deployed something on both Azure and AWS? Which one was the better experience working with?
Anything that MSFT makes sucks. I used to be a huge microsoft fan, but I’ve lost faith after windows 8. Btw we use Azure instead of AWS at my company, so I am not just making this up.
AWS but MFST is working hard to have a comparable offering
AWS for sure
I have used both pretty extensively. I prefer Azure hands down. Better user interface, deployments, docs, etc. It’s better if you buy into the entire echo system with C#, Visual Studio, but not required. Microsoft has been stepping up their game in the last 5 years. Love working in VS Code for NodeJS projects.
NodeJS is good for pet projects, but for serious things it is a joke.
I have used both, I used to think AWS is far better however that's not the case is what I would say after using it. AWS is better in core services like IaaS (VMs), security, storage, network however their PaaS offerings have lot to improve for e.g. Data pipelines, elastic beanstalk. Azure has better offerings in most of the PaaS services like Azure App Service is pretty good, Data Factory is feature rich etc. So depending upon the requirements, a combination of both clouds (hybrid) would be good.
If you are into serverless then AWS is much better. Azure options are not close in that realm. But some specific domains Azure may be cheaper and works well for your use case. Azure active directory is the boss and integration for sign in is much simpler there.
Using both currently. Azure is pushing hard, and velocity seems in their favor but for anything at really large scale still AWS.
AWS. Hands down.
