As we have gained sufficient understanding of what cloud computing is, let’s take a look at who’s offering what in cloud computing platform.
Google App Engine:
Google App Engine is a platform provided by google, for developing and hosting your apps in google’s data centers. It is built closely around Google OS. Its good for those developers who are familiar with Google OS and related framework. It is still in beta stage.
Amazon Web Services.
Offered by Amazon, these are collection of remote computing services. You can even deploy and run Microsoft applications here. It offers all components of a basic cloud computing infrastructure like compute, storage, database management and queue. This available commercially for everyone.
Personally, I have not deployed any solutions on these two platforms, so I will prefer to speak less about it.
Microsoft Windows Azure:
This is my favorite. Microsoft provides ‘Windows Azure’ as a cloud computing platform. Azure, is a platform for executing windows applications on cloud. It also stores data on cloud. Azure is an operating system that runs on machines in Microsoft data centers. The most important element for going with Azure is its integration with .net and Visual Studio. It supports any .net language and provides a tight integration with Visual Studio .net. You will get ready-to-use templates in your Visual Studio that helps you to develop and deploy cloud solutions. We will start discussion Azure and its components, in more details in next posts.
