AWS vs Azure Service Names
In this article, I have listed AWS services and their Azure alternatives with Name. AWS and Azure are becoming the most vital choice while building cloud infrastructure. I know most of the AWS services and working with them and trying to develop knowledge about Azure services which can be used as alternatives to AWS services. For example, people ask what is the s3 equivalent in azure? Mean to ask if I want to stage my files like AWS s3 which Azure service can be used.
