Amazon Web Services vs OpenStack
Pick AWS when you need the deepest service catalog on the market plus enterprise-grade compliance — FedRAMP, HIPAA, or the new EU Sovereign Cloud partition — or ML/inference workloads that benefit from purpose-built silicon like Graviton5 and Trainium meets developers should learn openstack when working in cloud infrastructure, devops, or system administration roles that involve deploying and managing private or hybrid clouds. Here's our take.
