AWS vs Azure vs GCP

Nowadays all clouds have similar offerings. AWS is the more mature one - and therefore a solid choice. However, they are hard to work with in many aspects and have a lot of legacy choices - such as everything being region locked. Google cloud is often seen as the most developer friendly and a great choice if you don't want spend hours banging your head against the wall. Azure also offers great developer experience but it's less reliable in my experience.

Since we work very closely with the 3 major clouds to develop our product - Multy - I have written a blog post on what I have learned about the differences in Virtual Machines in AWS, Azure and GCP.

The blog post goes over:

  • Regions and availability zones
  • Virtual machine types and sizes
  • SSH access and default users
  • Virtual machine images
  • Block storage and disk

If you're interested, have a read at https://docs.multy.dev/blog/compute-aws-vs-azure-vs-gcp.

Which cloud provider do you prefer?
