AWS (Amazon Web Services) has emerged has a market leader in the cloud because of cost and rich application services. Microsoft Azure is following a similar path and catching pretty fast with AWS. Most of the public cloud provider focused on Infrastructure services. But AWS and Azure are focusing more on services beyond the infrastructure. Cloud started to realise the concept of IaaS and PaaS but now it is going beyond that. AWS and Azure services are difficult to categorise in terms of ‘as a Service’ model. Services are crossing the boundary of IaaS, PaaS and SaaS model. AWS and Azure both are having similar services like we have two different operating system Windows and Linux. Both provide a similar feature to end user and at the same time differentiate with each other. Consumption of rich cloud services will unlock the true potential of the cloud. So I decided to list down similar services related with application layer for both AWS and Azure together with a possible scenario.
