Like Amazon, we have many vendors that offer cloud services to the people. One of those many vendors was Azure. This Azure is the Windows product. Moreover, even though both vendors provide cloud services, there are some quite differences. So let us discuss azure vs aws in detail.
Azure Vs AWS
Today we will discuss the differences w.r.t the various parameters
pricing models:
Both vendors Azure and Aws offer the pay as you go model. But the difference between these vendors were AWS charges on an hourly basis, whereas the Azure charges on a minute basis. And when it comes to short term plans, Azure has more flexibility. And in certain conditions like architecture scaling up Azure is costlier than AWS. Whenever you consider the instance with 256GB RAM and 64v PCU AWS will charge you $3.2/hr whereas the Azure will charge $6.76/hr for the same

Compute Services :
In cloud computing, computation is the heart. AWS uses the Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) as a primary solution for scalable computing and software management with Docker(or) Kubernetes. It uses the ECS and Amazon EC2 container registry. While Azure uses Virtual machines to scale a large extent. Besides, it uses Virtual machine scale sets.
Storage:
Both the Azure and the AWS offer long-running and reliable storage services. For storage purposes, AWS uses S3, EBS, and Glacier whereas the Azure uses the blob storage, disk storage, and the standard archive. Across the regions, Amazon S3 ensures high availability and automatic replication. When it comes to temporary storage, AWS starts functioning whenever the instance starts and stops. While Azure uses the VM volume for the temporary storage.
Database Services:
Since people were getting the data from various sources in various formats, they need to store this data at a separate place for further usage. Moreover, today both the Azure and AWS offer storage services to its users in a different manner. Hence AWS uses the Amazon RDS whereas the Azure uses the Azure SQL server. Besides the Amazon RDS supports different database engines like Amazon Aurora. MariaDB, Microsoft SQL, MySQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL. On the other hand, Azure uses the SQL Server Database.

Networking Services:
Under the cloud umbrella, Amazon uses the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud(VPC) for the creation of isolated networks. Hence this enables the users to create subnets, route tables, private IP addresses, and network gateways. on the other hand, Azure uses the Azure Virtual Network. But both vendors have the solutions to extend on-premise data in the cloud as well as the firewall.
Compliance:
Amazon has a great cloud offering for government agencies. They also provide security measures ensuring proper access to individual users. And it is an important factor when dealing with sensitive data. On the other hand, Azure offers more than 50 offerings. And some of the notable once are ITAR, DISA, HIPPA, FIPS, and CJIS.
Since both the tools have an equal number of pros and cons (almost) it is difficult to opt one between these tools. So I would like to leave the choice for the users.
