A Comparative Study of Cloud Computing Platforms

Abstract

This article offers a comparison and analysis of three of the most widely used cloud computing platforms: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The research focuses on the most important aspects of each platform, such as the virtual machines they offer, the storage choices they provide, the database services they provide, and the serverless computing capabilities they provide. In addition to this, the paper discusses issues like as cost, availability, security, and scalability, as well as some of the positives and negatives associated with using each platform. The literature review that is included in this paper highlights some of the most important findings from recent studies on cloud computing platforms. These findings include the widespread use of Amazon Web Services (AWS), the difficulties that are encountered by organisations in the management of cloud computing resources, and the significance of aspects such as reliability, security, and cost when selecting a cloud computing platform. This article's overarching objective is to offer businesses a comprehensive introduction to AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and to assist those businesses in making well-informed choices regarding which cloud platform is best suited to meet their requirements.
