I'm not sure you're looking for an AWS alternative if you think DigitalOcean is one.
Right now only Azure (behind) and Google Cloud (way behind) are alternatives to AWS.
If what you need is just VMs and a CRUD API, then yes, DO is a very good alternative (I run most of my servers with them).
- notwedtm 10y agoWhat about GCE makes you feel they are further behind AWS than Azure? Azure has more regions, but my experience is that GCE is quickly catching up in features and services in comparison to AWS.
- NetStrikeForce 10y agoThat's the impression I get from following these series of comparisons (unfinished! I guess there's a chance my opinion might change at the end of it): https://blogs.endjin.com/2016/07/aws-vs-azure-vs-google-cloud-platform/ https://blogs.endjin.com/2016/07/aws-vs-azure-vs-google-clou... I also e.g. have the impression that the most comprehensive/complete/ready to use container solution seems to be GKE, so on some specific areas there would be different "winners". In overall terms I got the feeling Google has a simpler offering than AWS and Azure.
