"VPC (AWS) vs VNet (AZURE): A Comparative Deep Dive for Multi-Cloud Beginners"

Introduction

I’ve always believed that to truly master the cloud, one must understand the "why" behind the services, not just the "how" of a single provider.

Currently, I am privileged to be interning with an AWS Partner company, where I’m diving deep into AWS projects and solving real-world challenges weekly. It’s been an incredible journey earning my AWS CCP and SAA, but I’ve decided that 2026 is the year I become a multi-cloud professional.

I’ve officially begun my journey toward the Microsoft AZ-104 (Azure Administrator) certification! 🎓

Why add Azure to my AWS background?

  1. Cloud Agnostic Mindset: Understanding how different providers handle Identity (Entra ID vs. IAM) or Networking (VNets vs. VPCs) sharpens my architectural decision-making.

  2. Best-of-Breed Solutions: Every cloud has its "superpower". By learning Azure, I can better advise on hybrid environments and Microsoft ecosystem integrations.

  3. Continuous Growth: The cloud doesn't stand still, and neither should we.

I’m currently following a modular path through Udemy and Microsoft Learn, mapping my AWS knowledge to Azure services as I go.

To my fellow cloud engineers: What was the biggest "lightbulb moment" you had when learning your second cloud provider? 💡
