AWS and Azure Cloud Comparison AWS and Microsoft
Azure are the two giants of the Cloud industry.
AWS is one of the most commonly used and
undisputed market leaders of Cloud computing
platforms across the world. Prestigious
organizations like Pinterest, Netflix, Adobe,
Airbnb, Spotify, and HTC have shown their trust
in AWS for their proper functioning. It dominates
the Cloud computing domain with 40 of the entire
market share. It provides a wide spectrum of
services across a variety of domains like
compute, network, storage, migration, etc.

Azure is the second most favored Cloud computing
platform which was launched way after AWS but has
surprisingly acquired a significant share of the
market. It is entrusted by more than 80 of the
Fortune 500 companies for their cloud computing
needs. It provides its services to more regions
than any other cloud service provider in the
world. It provides more than 100 services
spanning across a variety of domains. We will
discuss Azure vs. AWS key differences of Storage
and Service domains. AWS and Azure
Storage Discovering an approach to store,
distribute and manage your entire data can be a
bit of a challenge. Running applications,
delivering content to users, hosting high traffic
websites, or backing up documents, databases and
emails will always demand a lot of storage and
the need for higher storage space keeps rising
exponentially. It is very expensive and
time-consuming to build and maintain your own
storage repository. You first need to buy racks
and racks of dedicated hardware and software,
then you need to hire a staff to get it all up
and running. Youll also have to set up complex
processes to ensure that your storage is
performing well and backed up in case of a
failure. But if you wish to add more capacity, it
will cost more money and time to deploy more
servers, hard drives, and take backup machines.
It is quite difficult to figure out how much
capacity you need in the future. If you get it
wrong, it means you either wont have enough
storage or you end up overspending and with
excess capacity that sits idle. But there is a
better way to address this problem. It is Cloud
storage.

AWS storage service provides developers and IT
teams with safe and secure object storage. Its
easy to use with a simple web service interface
that can be used to store and retrieve any amount
of data at any time or from anywhere on the web.
You can choose the region where you want your
data to be stored. You can store as much data as
you want and access it when you need it. It also
ensures that your valuable data is not lost so it
creates multiple backups on numerous devices. In
Microsoft Azure, we use a storage account that is
used for storage. Azure Storage or Storage
Accounts is a service from Azure, which
accommodates storage services for numerous use
cases. Azure Storage is the Cloud storage
solution for advanced applications that are
dependent on durability, availability, and
scalability to satisfy the demands of their
clients.

AWS vs Azure on the basis of Block
Storage Elastic Block Store (EBS) is Amazons
offering, and it comes in different varieties
Common magnetic, spinning-disk offerings such as
Throughput Optimized or Cold HDD Next-generation
drives, as well as Provisioned IOPS SSD, are
planned for latency-sensitive transactional
workloads, according to Amazon. AWS offers a
99.95 availability Service-Level Agreement (SLA)
in some settings for its block storage
service. Managed Disks, Azures block storage
service, is available in two variations regular
and premium, with the latter relying on SSDs.
Azure offers a 99.99 availability Service-Level
Agreement (SLA) in some settings for its block
storage service.

AWS vs Azure on the basis of Object
Storage Simple Storage Service is AWSs main
object storage network (S3). For cool storage, it
has Standard-Infrequent Access, and for cold
storage, it has Glacier. The maximum object size
in AWS is 5TB. AWS boasts that items stored in
its cloud are 99.999999999 percent durable.
According to AWS, if you store 10,000 items in
the cloud, one file would be lost on average
every 10 million years. The argument is that
these systems are designed to last a
lifetime. With Azure Hot and Cold Storage Blobs,
consumers can only choose between hot and cool
storage archival data must be stored in cool
storage. Azure has a 500TB capacity per account.
Azure does not publish Service Level Agreements
for longevity.

AWS vs Azure on the basis of File Storage The
use of a cloud-based file storage system is an
evolving use case. This can be considered as a
cloud-based variant of the classic Network File
System (NFS) where users can install files on the
system from any connected computer or virtual
machine, then read and retrieve them. The File
Storage from AWS is called the Elastic File
System and was released from beta in June 2016.
Users may use AWS Direct Connect or a virtual
private connection to install files from AWS
Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) virtual machines
within a virtual private cloud, or from
on-premises services (VPC). It has no size cap
and scales up automatically depending on demand,
with a throughput of 50 megabits per second per
terabyte of storage customers can pay for up to
100 megabits per second throughput. On the other
hand, File Storage from Azure is called Azure
File Storage, which is identical in nature but
has a 5TB per file and 500TB per account limit
and requires manual scaling. When reading data,
it has a throughput of 60MBps.

AWS vs Azure on the basis of Shared File
Services Amazon Elastic File System (EFS)
 Amazon EFS is a simple, serverless,
set-and-forget elastic file system that allows
you to transfer files without having to provision
or manage storage. It works with both AWS Cloud
providers and on-premises infrastructure, and
its designed to scale up to petabytes on demand
without affecting applications. With Amazon EFS
you can choose to create file systems using
Standard or One Zone storage classes. Amazon FSX
 Amazon FSx makes launching and running common
file systems that are completely controlled by

and on-premises deployments of Windows, Linux,
and macOS can all install Azure file shares at
the same time. Azure file shares can also be
cached on Windows Servers using Azure File Sync
for quick access to data close to where its
needed.
