The goal of the project was to research two current topics on cloud computing and cloud application deployment that we have not covered extensively in class. The purpose of this assignment was to give me an outlet to display my ability to understand and describe an aspect of cloud-based architectures to my current and future employers.
I learned that AWS is not the only dominating company within the Cloud Computing Services space and has been rivaled by Microsoft with their Azure service. Also, the two services and relatively similar in terms of capabilities but Azure has some slight differences in their version and is attracting more and more companies that need to meet their needs and only want to migrate using Microsoft instead of Amazon.
