Hey (hey) You (you) Get Off Of My Cloud

Calling all cloud developers: It looks like the top two cloud service providers are currently (and in this order):

  1. Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  2. Microsoft Azure

If you are currently developing for AWS, is there a chance you get off of that cloud and switch to Microsoft Azure? Microsoft owns Visual Studio and GitHub, arguably the two most popular developer tools of their kind. Microsoft is integrating OpenAI’s ChatGPT into some of its services, too. Will that tempt you away from AWS, or do you find Amazon's services sufficient for the foreseeable future?

Then there's Google Cloud Platform. With some embarrassing exceptions (I'm looking at you, Google+ and its replacement Google Currents) Google often manages to dominate every area it tackles. What do you think about that?

Let's discuss!!!

For the benefit of your young whippersnappers, here's the source of the post title. Oh, and get off my lawn, too.

None of the above....back to the Data Center, AKA the Stairway to Heaven......packed full of sleek Cisco gear...lol

I think a balance is good. Each of the major cloud providers have their benefits and use cases.
