Azure VS AWS vs GCP – A quick cheatsheet
This is a sequel for my previous article that I wrote couple of years back. As the cloud adoption is increasing, companies are going towards the Multi cloud approach to be locked out of a vendor. I also have to do some migration tasks so this seems to be the right time to create this.

| VM | Azure VMs | EC2 and Azue Elastic Compute | Compute Engine but only 3 type of VM |
| LoadBalancing | Azure Load Balancer, Traffic Manager and VMSS | Elastic Load Balancing , Auto Scailing | Cloud Load Balancer, Instance Group |

Not all Azure services offer the best performance for every need and same is the case for the AWS so we need to make the wisest decision while architecting for the Cloud.I will recommend to go through the comparisons before making any decision.
