That definition is full of bugs.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

According to the latest Gallop poll, you're correct.

Anyone here who has used both (either at the same time or at different times)? If so how did the experiences compare?

I've only used Azure from the standpoint of systems engineering type stuff. As a dev I've used AWS also, but of course that don't really mean much in this regards. Anyway, my opinion is that I think an EC2 instance looks a tiny bit "cleaner" if that makes sense when freshly going. Not by much and certainly not enough to chose one over the other, but figured I'd chime in with that.
That being said, as of right now, I know of more companies moving to AWS rather than Azure. FWIW

Thanks Jeremy. We use Azure at work but there are frequent down times, no warning, and recovery is not quick enough. Are there AWS equivalents for everything Azure offers?

Ah, thanks again.

Also, if you want to play around with it. Amazon will give people like a free year with a low tier instance. They'll want a CC when signing up but won't charge it unless you host something like YT on it and kill their servers...

That would be quite handy - to get a feel for it. Thanks Jeremy.

I've used AWS for a few years at Crate and Barrel and Azure here at my current job. The basic way I describe the differences between the two are that AWS can be a bit more of a low-level experience than Azure. It has a ton of functionality and you can do pretty much anything with either platform, but you will be doing a bit more work out of the box in AWS to get auto-scaling and other services working. I was able to set up Nginx as a reverse proxy and web servers in the backend pool and it worked really well. It was a mix of Linux and Windows. I used virtual machines and auto-scaling groups in AWS whereas in Azure, I did the same thing but with all managed services (App Gateway, Web Apps, Azure SQL). If you are working primarily in .NET, you'll find that the tight integration of all the microsoft products has great support. Linux is supported well too. I'd go with Azure if you are doing development in .NET. Both Azure and AWS seem to have roughly the same availability. I've had outages on both platforms, but they are infrequent.

Thank you. That was quite useful.

I've used both (albeit not touched AWS for several years) and found that Azure was much easier to get up and running.

Thank you, that seems to be the common opinion.
