Today, we are pleased to introduce a new cloud service map<\/a> to help you quickly compare the cloud capabilities of Azure and AWS services in all categories. Whether you are planning a multi-cloud solution with Azure and AWS, or simply migrating to Azure, you will be able to use this service map to quickly orient yourself with the services required for a successful migration. You can use the service map side-by-side with other useful resources found in our documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excerpt from the Compute Section from the Cloud Service Map for AWS and Azure<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cloud service map<\/a> (PDF available for download<\/a>) is broken out into 13<\/strong> sections <\/strong>to make navigation between each service simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Marketplace<\/b> \u2013 Cloud marketplace services bring together native and partner service offerings to a single place, making it easier for customers and partners to understand what they can do.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Compute<\/b> \u2013 Compute commonly refers to the collection of cloud computing resources that your application can run on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Storage<\/b> \u2013 Storage services offer durable, highly-available, and massively-scalable cloud storage for your application, whether it runs in the cloud or not.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Networking & Content Delivery<\/b> \u2013 Allows you to easily provision private networks, connect your cloud application to your on-premises datacenters, and more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Database<\/b> \u2013 Database services refers to options for storing data, whether it\u2019s a managed relational SQL database that\u2019s globally distributed or multi-model NoSQL databases designed for any scale.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Analytics and big data<\/b> \u2013 Make the most informed decision possible by analyzing all of the data you need in real time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Intelligence <\/b>\u2013 Intelligence services enable natural and contextual interaction within your applications, using machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities that include text, speech, vision, and search.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Internet of Things (IoT)<\/b> \u2013 Internet of Things (IoT) services connect your devices, assets, and sensors to collect and analyze untapped data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Management & monitoring<\/b> \u2013 Management and monitoring services provide visibility into the health, performance, and utilization of your applications, workloads, and infrastructure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Mobile services<\/b> \u2013 Mobile services enable you to reach and engage your customers everywhere, on every device. DevOps services make it easier to bring a higher quality app to market faster, and a number of engagement services make it easier to deliver performant experiences that feel tailored to each user.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Security, identity, and access <\/b>\u2013 A range of capabilities that protect your services and data in the cloud, while also enabling you to extend your existing user accounts and identities, or provisioning entirely new ones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. Developer tools <\/b>\u2013 Developer tools empower you to quickly build, debug, deploy, diagnose, and manage multi-platform, scalable apps and services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. Enterprise integration<\/b> \u2013 Enterprise integration makes it easier to build and manage B2B workflows that integrate with third-party software-as-a-service apps, on-premises apps, and custom apps.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The guidance is laid out in a convenient table that lets you easily locate and learn more about each service you are most interested in. In this instance, you can quickly see the service name, description and the name of the services in AWS and Azure. We\u2019ve also provided hyperlinks for each Azure service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Beyond service mapping, it\u2019s worth noting that the Azure documentation provides a large array of additional resources to help app developers be successful with Azure. Here are just a few links to help get you started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
