AWS vs Google Cloud Platform vs Azure
Before we come to the difference between AWS, GCP, and Azure, we have to know what a cloud is. Without buying the hardware, the client can utilize the hardware and pay for what he uses. If we want to make a physical server, then we have to wait 30–40 days, and the cost will also be very high. Now for the cloud platform, we can make any server( how many want) within 5–10 minutes with the lowest cost. cloud is demanding self-service.
Examples: Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Alibaba Cloud, IBM Cloud, Salesforce, Tencent Cloud, Oracle, etc.
