GCP vs Azure

May 2, 2020 21 Comments

Which one do you want to work for? Google people say low of GCP future while Azure as a business is really promising. But Google is tier 1 anyway and pays more. I think the same question also applys to AWS vs GCP.
BTW, I still don’t know why people don’t like TK.

    Google people are right - GCP is not same as Google. Hiring bar, required skills, job responsibilities are all different for GCP. More or less they are similar to AWS and Azure.

    Both are here to stay. Both grew over 50% yoy. If you are competent, you will have a successful career in either place. Go with the place that makes the better offer - I say this as someone who has worked at both places.

    Google already posted concerns about GCP growth. Go with Azure.

    From a market perspective, Azure is much larger, while GCP has carved out some strong niches (k8, analytics, certain verticals). Both have strong business app presence, while Azure is much larger in infrastructure. GCP continues to receive investment, driven by there search monopoly. They have all the right ingredients, but that’s also been true for the last five years and they continue to be a distant third place.

    In terms of Microsoft, most companies have a 5/50/500 relationship with software providers. Some thing like half of all spend goes to five vendors. For most companies, Microsoft is one of those. So Microsoft is already very well positioned in every large enterprise account. They also have strong hooks in.net and SQL. So when someone’s migrating a database or a line of business application, there’s a good chance they have an inside advantage.

    GCP takes much more of a product approach. They are exploiting certain areas of expertise that they have, including containers and analytics. They tend to do well when a company is deploying multi cloud. They don’t have a lot of wins of companies going all in on GCP, at least compared to AWS or Azure.

    Also google docs, hangouts, and the fact that so many companies use Google for their marketing efforts, all give them some hooks

    The space is so young that you really can’t go wrong either way. While AWS maintains a good lead, there’s nothing but runway.
