Azure Cloud Services vs. DigitalOcean App Platform

I like the security provided by Microsoft Cloud Platform that gives us comfort that our Clouds data and applications are safe and secure with excellent backups and recovery capabilities and our entire organization depend on this platform for effective data migration. The system integrations with this platform are highly intuitive with the ease to customize its API and excellent performance monitoring capability to all our Clouds applications.

It can help you to host your virtual appliance or serverless application at very low cost. DigitalOcean marketplace also helps you to deploy the serverless app or virtual appliance effortlessly. It is suitable for small-scale deployment and the process to set up an account and rolling out your app via the marketplace is easy and cheap.

• Azure excels in providing scalable infrastructure and services. For example, organizations can use Azure Virtual Machines to dynamically adjust computing resources based on demand.
• Azure's Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings, such as Azure App Service, empower developers to focus on building applications without dealing with the underlying infrastructure.
• Azure seamlessly integrates with on-premises environments, facilitating a hybrid cloud approach.
• Azure Functions allows organizations to execute code in a serverless environment, triggering functions in response to events without the need to provision or manage servers.

• Hosting of serverless application
• Hosting of load balancer
• Hosting of virtual appliances

• The company has not been very communicative as of lately. Not much news, no apparent work on missing features.
• Some components are incomplete as far as some critical features. For example, I use RethinkDB as my database and it's missing critical features like backup and clustering, so It is unusable and they should have made that clear from the get go.
• The pricing on the support plan is vague. I do have the feeling it is actually well worth the money, but it's hard to form a decisions based without more predictable specific.
• Seems to me like the platform's future is unclear.

I feel AWS offers a robust and versatile platform for cloud infrastructure and services. It's scalability, reliability array of tools make it a top choice for businesses of all sizes. AWS has better open source communities such as Linux, Jenkins and GitHub in comparison to Azure service cloud

The ability to choose your own cloud provider is huge, especially for a small start up like I have. We have a lot of free credit from AWS, Google Cloud, IBM, Azure, etc... The data layer is baked into the system which is better for integration then an external provider. There are also a lot fewer differences between environment as everything is Docker based which gives me the confidence that what works on my machine is going to work in production. Heroku doesn't have good support for Docker containers yet and although Heroku has served me well in the past, it is limited in some aspects.

• Remote data accessibility via the platform is effective.
• Data security through the system is guaranteed.
• Easy data recovery solution.

• The platform is saving me a lot of time I would have been wasting on operations instead of development.
• The platform is saving me a lot of money as I can easily switch between cloud providers to find the best price.
• I am worried though for the price I might have to pay in case of an unexpected system issue.
• Hopefully I will be able to pay the support plan before that.
