Reviving the top 5 cloud services

Cloud Services put you at amazingly comfort zone where you can surrender all your cares, IT management, and many other responsibilities to the cloud platform. Today’s cloud services are even capable of handling various financial transactions and complicated procedures. Here, in this blog, let’s compare the top 5 cloud services and their facilities. Following table lists out the top 5 

For the last few months, I’ve once again been living the dream, building a vast empire of computers that spanned the globe. Machines everywhere crunched my data into teeny tiny bits, then crunched the numbers even more. Private networks carried my secret scraps of info between the machines so that others could work the data and reform it into pretty graphs. Sure, my desktop is a bit old and could use more RAM, but with my browser I created a worldwide army of machines with about as much ease as the sorcerer’s apprentice in “Fantasia.”

The good news is that, unlike the apprentice, the machines more or less disappeared when I asked them to go away. That’s the beauty of the cloud. You buy what you want when you want it. Oh, there is one errant recurring charge for a blob of bits stuck in Microsoft’s Azure cloud, but tech support is looking into erasing that. I expect it will be stricken soon, along with those bills for a few pennies that reminded me of the blob when they appeared on my credit card statement.

All the other machines came and went with a small charge measured in cents. Most dollar stores have been artfully renamed to accommodate goods that cost less than $5, but in the cloud, it’s still possible to buy machines as if they were penny candy. Someone should resurrect the old Woolworth name and the five-and-dime slogan.

Once you start to discover that performance varies, often dramatically, from cloud to cloud and don’t always get twice the performance for paying twice as much, you start to realize there are many subtle differences behind the curtain.

Anyone who assumes that the cloud machines are merely commodities is latching on to the wrong part of the message. The marketing teams push the idea that the cloud lets you toss around computers and storage like they’re interchangeable Lego bricks, but that’s not exactly true. All the providers are trying to distinguish their machines and services by offering something a little bit different and a little bit better. It’s probably not worth your time to fret over saving a few pennies an hour if your job is going to end in a few hours, but the variations are often significant for anyone doing a large amount of work.

The deviations start when you choose the operating system. It’s easy to assume that everything’s Linux because Linux is everywhere, but that ignores the contrasts among the distributions. While many of the standard distros like Ubuntu are ubiquitous, companies have created their own versions with slight or not-so-slight enhancements. Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform, for instance, have their own Linux for the cloud.
