Well, with more market players entering the cloud services industry it becomes increasingly difficult in deciding which one is better. Here are some of the key points which might help you in better deciding which vendor is good.
- AWS is the market leader among all the cloud computing vendors out there. Launched in 2006, it has benefited from the early mover advantage among other competitors. And because of that AWS has gained traction from many companies that are top in their league such as NETFLIX, Facebook, Linked In, etc. are some of the tops companies that use AWS to leverage their services.
- Whereas GCP is a google offering for cloud computing. It came out fully-functional in 2011, and since then had made consistent progress to arrive as number three on the market share of cloud services only after AWS, and Azure. But lately, it has posted a growth rate of 2X compared to AWS and is ramping up its datacentres at a feverish pace to bring down latency.
- AWS is costlier compared to GCP as it suits large organizations, whereas GCP is known for its cost-effective strategies. In terms of features, AWS offers more than 200 features whereas GCP offers only 95. In terms of availability AWS offers as of now 77 availability zones and GCP offers 73 zones and both of them offer in 24 geographical regions.
