Overall, the public cloud services offered by Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS are similar. However, using the two platforms can be made more complex by virtue of them using different naming conventions for similar services.
We have provided the following list which lists the different Azure and AWS services and the names used for them by the two platforms. For more information about how IG CloudOps can help your organisation take advantage of the cloud, please contact one of our AWS consultants or Azure consultants today.
We also provide our own cloud management software to help manage and extend the cloud platform to give visibility and insight and help automate the management of your cloud infrastructure. Please have a look at CloudOps for more information about unified cloud management.
