Versus open source AWS? Google Cloud?
- rbanffy 9y agoWhy would you want to go with Azure over AWS or Google? Or Digital Ocean? Like GP said, I can see very few compelling features to adopt Microsoft's platform. Is there a killer feature I'm unaware of? edit: clarify. And "burn, karma, burn"
- abiox 9y agowell, i think "for a FOSS shop" is important context in that comment (simply asking "why use azure" is different). aws and gcp run plenty of bits that aren't "FOSS" in any respect, just like azure.

- rbanffy 9y agoDoes Azure have a killing feature that appeals to a non-Windows shop?
- hungerstrike 9y agoWhat makes one a "FOSS" shop? I use tons of FOSS in my products but I prefer SQL Server and ASP.NET for my backend. I also do most of my code editing from Windows and sometimes I use my Mac. I rarely use Linux to edit code or do anything desktop-related, but I still use it to run Redis instances. I'm still a FOSS shop. The people developing all their FOSS on Macbooks using a proprietary OS are still FOSS shops too. The world isn't black and white. Anyway, the thing I like about Azure over AWS is that it's more organized and simpler to deal with. Azure is focused on high-quality while AWS pretty much throws spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. That's why AWS has 3 of every type of service.
