Cloud computing has become a major player to
reckon with storing pictures, documents and doing
computations and many other things moving to the
cloud, Cloud providers are constantly gaining in
popularity due to the increased demand for their
services. AWS, Azure and GCP are some of the
popular cloud service providers today.

AWS AWS or Amazon web services is one of the
worlds leading cloud computing providers. It
offers a number of services such as computation,
storage, networking, database and more. AWS has
had a lion share of the cloud computing market
till 2019 but competitors such as Azure and GCP
are not far behind. AWS was re-launched in 2006
after being initially launched in 2002. Some of
AWS customers include SoundCloud, University of
Maryland, Department of Defense (USA), British
Gas and more. Let us look at AWS security in
greater detail AWS security deals with two
areas Security of the cloud and Security in
the cloud. Security of the cloud deals with
the security of the data centers, compliance
regulations of the data stored and mitigating
DDoS attacks against data centers. Security in
the cloud deals with identity and access
management, detective controls, infrastructure
protection, data protection and incident response.

Azure Microsoft Azure is another top cloud
computing platform for deploying applications on
the cloud. Microsoft Azure provides SaaS
(Software as a service), PaaS (Platform as a
service) and IaaS (Infrastructure as a service)
It was initially launched in February 2010 as
Windows Azure but was rechristened to its present
name in 2014. Some customers of Microsoft Azure
include Coca-cola, NBA, Chevron, Daimler, FedEX
and more. Microsoft Azure implements security by
separating it into six functional areas
Operations, Application, Storage, Networking,
Compute and Identity.

We saw some of the features by means of which AWS
Security and Azure Security are implemented.
While both of them are interested in protecting
the data of their customers in the cloud, they
both have their own ways and tools to do
it. AWS Security or Microsoft Azure which is
better? has no clear answers and it is always a
battle that keeps see-sawing one way or the
other! If you would like to get certified in AWS
Security or Azure Security do contact us today
