Comparative Study of Top Cloud Providers on basis of Service Availability and Cost

Abstract

The term "cloud computing" refers to a place where we can store our important data and use pay-as-you-go computing and networking services without a physical environment. Today's cloud computing provides us with robust computing and storage, high availability and security, rapid accessibility and adaption, ensured scalability and interoperability, and cost and time efficiency. Users in a cloud environment assume that there are endless resources accessible, and they only pay for the resources they really utilize. The number of cloud service providers is growing quickly and they are adding new capabilities as technology advances. However, a cloud consumer may find it challenging to identify the best service provider for their needs. Three cloud service providers—Amazon Web Services, Google and Microsoft Azure—are explored in this study, and a comparison of these cloud service providers is provided. On the basis of service availability, price, pricing structure, data security, operating system, Windows support, free trial, and geographies, the cloud service providers were compared.
