Introduction
Cloud computing is growing rapidly and people are using it daily. In the last couple of years, all organizations from small-scale startups to tech giants, all have used cloud computing.
However, the transformation of cloud computing has raised many brows, especially in the aspect of security and data management. So most of the clients ask this question, is it worth starting a business in the cloud platform?
Let’s just go through some advantages of cloud applications.
- Enhanced development and faster deployment.
- Companies can expand anytime, anywhere
- Easy to install, easy to operate and no administration required.
- Affordable sustainability: you need to pay for the used space only.
Service providers resolve queries related to security and development that eventually provide more time to build the product itself.
No doubt, there are some serious queries related to security. Many people are still confused about whether to use cloud applications or cloud platforms, one of the major jobs of cloud service providers is to protect our data from threats along with providing storage.
Cloud providers currently
There are three popular giant cloud providers- AWS (Amazon), Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure. Moreover, our favorite cloud provider is built on AWS and offers extra features. Is Heroku, which is less popular, although big cooperates run their application on this platform.
Some features are the same in all the cloud platforms, I have jotted some of those features: S3 storage, Google Vision image analysis, big data functions, and database.
AWS
Amazon started Amazon Web Services in the year 2006. Not like other cloud providers, Amazon charges money for the service based on the usages. Although, the usage metrics vary according to service usage.
In the year 2018, AWS generates half of the total revenue of Amazon, which itself explains the usage and size of the platform. Amazon is one of the richest companies in the world therefore they like to spend money on data centers to stay ahead of their competitors and to generate huge ROI. That’s the reason today Amazon is the leading cloud service provider across the globe.
Google Cloud
Google Cloud is as popular as AWS, people trust the giant Google. Google Cloud offers some advanced-level features and some same features as AWS, as big companies copy each other platform’s features. According to experts, big tech service providers differ only in pricing. AWS is the topmost expensive, followed by Google and Azure.
Azure
Azure is Microsoft’s product, consumes 15% of the market share. Azure is the 2nd most used cloud provider among users. Although it works in 30 different regions of the world, it is more credible than Google cloud or AWS. Most large companies choose Azure over Google Cloud or Azure.
Microsoft Azure is an open-source technology. The cloud provider is ideal for a company that looks for a full-featured platform service that works great on scalability, usage-based. It is an optimal choice of features like an infrastructure service.
In this case, a cloud-based virtual machine runs on the SQL service, which makes it an optimal choice if you don’t want to develop a new cloud-based application, but looking to add on features to your existing solutions in the cloud.
Heroku
We recommend the company use this cloud service. As the platform offers the resources of AWS and CI + deployment interface.
Why do we recommend this? Because the entire platform comes with automated proves, there is no need for manual administrations. Along with this, they solve security-related issues.
The cloud service providers offer an enhanced environment, which resolves queries or fix issues with a few clicks. Business can protect their important data and operational risks. Big tech companies run their major application on this platform, but the platform isn’t popular in the USA.
Cloud is the future!
It is a fact that in the upcoming features, companies like to access their data remotely. Companies will invent products that are integrated with innovative UX/UI. Moreover, companies will store the user’s data in the cloud platform for their business so they can access the data anytime, anywhere through any smart device.
With the emergence of technologies like AI, IoT, the demand for cloud providers is also increasing. The future of cloud platforms is bright. Most of them are advanced, simple, faster, and offer affordable solutions.
