I work for a company that has to provision hosted products for customers across all the clouds and the one that has been impressing me the most lately is Azure. The load balancers are also the gateways (sound network topology), so there is no need for elastic IPs, NAT Gateways, or proxy protocol. The other thing I like about Azure is they have storage classes that automatically cross region replicate. The automatic storage encryption is a bit of an issue, but I know they were working on it, last I checked.
You can’t beat the offerings of AWS, but there are definitely some compliance scenarios that are easier to fulfill on Azure.
We rarely get customer requests for Google Cloud. Seems like it’s mostly Azure and AWS (at least at the enterprise level).
- manigandham 9y agoYou don't need any that for load balancing on any cloud. Google Cloud has the best load balancer with a global anycast address that will route to the nearest DC with instances and free capacity. For automatic cross-region replication for storage, are you talking about Azure's GRS class? That's the same as GCP's multiregional class and AWS allows you to setup entire bucket replication to anywhere else in a few clicks.
