You Are Addicted To Cloud Computing | Prime Reacts

Like clouds in real life they are pretty to watch from a distance, but actually quite annoying if you are inside them.

RE: Azure Growth, you have to realize that every enterprise level company in every sector except Tech uses Windows. And user permissions in Active Directory carrying over to your cloud infra is a huge win.

I use azure at work, it's fine. It's basically the same as AWS but with better naming for its services. EC2 = Virtual Machines, S3 = Storage etc. When people describe their AWS architecture and it's like we connect the floopidy floop to the thingamybob I just can't help thinking why would Amazon do this?

You should take into account, most businesses in Europe use Microsoft. Their market share is just huge. Everything starts with the OS and office suite. Then they give introduce you into Azure via easy excel integration

The lab I worked for in school got a $25k grant from AWS. We burned through it in less than a year using their recommended architecture, and then were stuck trying to figure out why we had a $3k/mo bill for an application that had at most 1,000 concurrent users at any moment.

Azure runs the corporate side of almost all large companies -- i.e. Active Directory and SSO app registrations. AWS is more for web infrastructure.

Azure gets enterprise cloud migrations because of the easy integration with their networks/AD/Entra and office products.

Azure’s customers not just government and medical, it’s actually very even. Most Fortune 500 companies use Azure. Azure was the first of the two to create a “hybrid cloud” service that mixes on-premise with cloud services and most agree Azure’s hybrid service is better supported than AWS’s. A lot of companies already used windows servers or the Microsoft stack on-prem, so for them it’s a no brainer to migrate to Azure. But to your average company, AWS and Azure are the same and any service offered in one is available in the other, so most people just use what they’re familiar with. I think Azure’s services have sensible names unlike AWS, so if you’re looking for something in Azure it’s easy to find.

there was a point where i lived in the aws gui for a month, got unaddicted real quick
