Microsoft Azure vs AWS
Microsoft Azure is the most recognized cloud platform in the world, even more so than
Amazon Web Services (AWS) and is the most trusted cloud service for both hybrid and
enterprise infrastructures. But how does Azure really compare to AWS?
Put the two cloud services side by side and you will see some very obvious differences.
Microsoft Azure beats AWS hands down with one of the most comprehensive
compliance offerings anywhere, more global regions, better intelligence and a truly
consistent hybrid cloud.
Privacy Regulation
Microsoft has a long-standing reputation in data protection, privacy and compliance
with the most complex of regulations. Right now they are actively complying with the
EU Model Clauses and the EU-US Privacy Shield. The new GDPR (General Data
Protection Regulation) is, in Microsoft’s eyes, one of the most important factors in
clarification and enablement of privacy for individuals. They are fully committed to
complying with GDPR, one of the very first organizations to do so, across all cloud
services.
