I was disappointed in both the podcast and the additional AWS to Azure content because it didn't convey much information to help translate over AWS to Azure as suggested.

It touched on a few services and it was strongly presented from the Azure side so the translation wasn't clear.

I would look forward to this topic being covered again but with more meat to it next time.

What about GCP? IMHO they're superior to the both of them.
Lowest costs, lowest downtime, better support and so on.
Just because AWS have a lot of services doesn't make it great.
Now I can't speak for AWS, but oh boy if Azure is not the worst.
Their portal is completely useless and feels like it was created by 9 year olds.
AKS is literally the worst as they've not implemented it properly and I could literally continue for days about other stuff that's not working as intended.
I've had nothing but hours of misery working with Azure.

This episode isn't about telling people to choose only one of these platforms. Most of our customers are considering these, so we're just comparing the differences for those folks to help them make an informed decision. Not everyone gets to choose the platform, it just comes with the job sometimes.

I'm gonna do some GCP stuff at some point, just haven't had time yet. It'll happen at some point.
