AWS vs Azure

 5 .Network and Content Delivery

AWS uses a virtual private cloud (VPC) so that users can create isolated private networks within the cloud. From there, it uses API gateways for cross-premises connectivity. To ensure smooth operation, it uses elastic load balancing during networking. 

Azure has a slightly different approach. 

Instead of a VPC, Azure uses a virtual network that grants users the ability to create isolated networks, as well as subnets, private IP ranges, route tables, and network gateways. 

If you want cross-network connectivity, you'll use a VPN gateway. Load balancing is handled with a load balancer and application gateway. 

Both AWS and Azure offer firewall options and solutions to extend your on-premises data center into the cloud without compromising your data. 

6.Pricing

Both have a pay-as-you-go structure, so you can change or end your contract anytime if it's not working out. AWS charges per hour, with instances purchasable: 

• On-demand (pay for what you use)
• Spot (bid for extra available capacity)
• Reserved (reserve an instance for 1-3 years with upfront costs based on use)

Azure charges per-minute, offering a more exact pricing model than AWS. It also offers short-term commitments allowing you to choose between monthly or pre-paid charges.

 pros:  Microsoft made up the distance by working with what it already had. Essentially, it sped up Azure's development process by adapting its pre-existing on-premises solutions for the cloud. 

That's good news for those who are already fans of Office, SQL Server, Windows Server, Dynamics Active Directory, Sharepoint, and others.

cons: It's less enterprise-ready than AWS, which is surprising to some clients given Microsoft's long history as a leading enterprise vendor.

Pros: previously, companies had to purchase a set amount of data storage, without knowing if they would or would not use it. Amazon Web Services allows for a scalable solution, meaning companies no longer must ‘wait and see’ if they’ll use all that extra space they paid for.

Cons : Cloud-based services do still glitch, and Amazon Web Services is no exception. While the service is robust and well-designed, it’s not perfect and still subject to general cloud computing glitches
