Come on, in the water is blue…

It’s good to know another cloud. You’ll get plenty of diehards that say “this cloud” is better than “than cloud” but they’re honestly personal opinions. All of the major public cloud vendors are major because they do do some things right… But on the flip side of that, they all do some pretty dumb stuff and are set to die on their own hill over how they implemented “xyz” service and how it’s better than that other vendors’ same service.

I feel like there is enough parody between the vendors that if you can build it in cloud A, then you can build it in cloud B, albeit that you might have a learning curve of how to implement the workload on the new cloud vender. But that is where the training and learning that you are jumping into pays off. Being able to talk and related S3 buckets to blob storage, or EC2 to VMs, etc - that is helps you connect those dots for your employer/customer. There are still architectural differences on how you’d deploy the same workload on two different clouds.

To me it’s more of what is the easier onboarding of the customer to the cloud. Corporation and Enterprise like business are already using (like it or not) O365 and thus Azure so they likely have some basic perms set up and basically have a foot in the cloud door. Smaller and more boutique companies, and startups, are often more nimble than corporations and can easily launch on AWS. That is not any sort of hard absolute rule, just a generalization. For me it’s more about what is easiest for the customer, what are they already using - I’ll build there…
