Azure or Cloud

Azure - Microsoft's public cloud service is called Azure. It has around 162 availability zones and is available in 54 geographical locations. It has a strong Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) portfolio as well as solid Platform as a Service (PaaS) capabilities, which are especially useful for Windows applications.

Cloud - GCP, Google's public cloud service, is a relative newcomer to the cloud services sector. It is available in 20 different geographical locations as of 2019. GCP, on the other hand, compensates for its restricted reach by using Google's unrivaled size. It makes use of Google's proprietary fiber-optic network, which allows for lightning-fast connectivity between data centers.

The term "cloud" refers to Internet-accessible servers, as well as the software and databases that run on those servers. Cloud servers are housed in many data centers across the world. Users and businesses don't have to operate physical servers or run software programs on their workstations when they employ cloud computing.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud service platform created by Microsoft that includes cloud computation, storage, database management, networking solutions, and developer tools, among other things, to help a business become more scalable and expansive in its reach and performance. The services offered by Azure are classified into three categories:

• Platform as a service (PaaS)
• Software as a service (SaaS)
• Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)

Developers may now construct, organize, and administer services and applications in the cloud using these three services.

Cloud: Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the Internet ("the cloud") to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale.
