Comparing Azure and AWS
summary
Compares actual features and outcomes: Azure spins a VM in under a minute while AWS once took hours in the presenter’s classroom, Azure charges by per-minute billing versus AWS coarser increments, and a real client racks up a $5M first-month bill from forgotten VMs until cost dashboards and shutdown scripts cut waste. Notes storage quirks (ephemeral instance storage), hybrid tools like Snowball Edge, analytics/HDInsight, serverless differences (Azure Functions vs Lambda), and Microsoft landing a DoD $10B award tied to compliance posture.
