Microsoft Azure & AWSCloud Service MapWhether you are planning a multicloud solution with Azure and AWS, or migrating to Azure,now you can compare the cloud capabilities of Azure and AWS services in all categories.BeginDownloadable PDF of this mapping available at aka.ms/awsazureguide1Last updated on 12/18/2017
Azure for DevelopersMicrosoft Azure is a growing collection of integrated cloud services thatdevelopers and IT professionals use to build, deploy, and manage applicationsthrough our global network of datacenters. With Azure, you get the freedom tobuild and deploy wherever you want, using the tools, applications, and frameworksof your choice.For hybrid cloud environments, Azure Stack extends Azure to bring the agility andfast-paced innovation of cloud computing to your on-premises environments. OnlyAzure Stack lets you deliver Azure services from your organization’s datacenter,while balancing the right amount of flexibility and control—for truly-consistenthybrid cloud egrationNetworking &Content DeliveryDeveloper ToolsDatabaseAzure & AWS Cloud Service MapThis document defines how common cloud services are made available via Azureand Amazon Web Services (AWS). We hope that this guide helps developersunderstand the services that Azure offers, whether they are new to the cloud orjust new to Azure. We’ve structured the guide using a table that explains eachcloud service capability sorted by service popularity, and maps the capability to theservice offering name for both Azure and AWS.NOTE: Not all Azure products and services are available in all regions. Consult theProducts by Region page for details. You can find the uptime guarantees anddowntime credit policies for each Azure product or service on the Service LevelAgreements page.Additional Resources2 Introduction Microsoft Azure & AWS Cloud Service MapSecurity, Identity,& AccessAnalytics & BigDataIntelligenceMobile ServicesManagement& MonitoringInternet ofThings (IoT)Select one of the solution categories above to get started
