059: How to Decide Between Azure and AWS? Jan 22, 2020

Show notes

In this episode I catch up with fellow cloud architects Nicolas Blank, Warren du Toit, and Chris Goosen to discuss the determining factors of choosing Azure or AWS.

With the explosive growth of cloud services, many organizations suddenly find themselves having to manage multiple cloud environments, either intentionally or by coincidence due to mergers, acquisitions or other such events. With Azure and AWS being two of the most popular choices, we talk to Azure MVP Mike Pfeiffer who is also AWS certified about the parallels between the two services, things to consider when running two clouds and discuss if multi-cloud makes more sense as a transitional state or long-term mode of operation.

Make sure you check out The Cloud Architects podcast from Nicolas, Warren, and Chris for more episodes about cloud, technology and the people using it.
