Google Compute Engine vs Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines
Developers should use Google Compute Engine when they need flexible, scalable virtual infrastructure for applications that require custom configurations or legacy software not suited for managed services meets developers should use azure virtual machines when they need flexible, scalable infrastructure for running applications that require full control over the server environment, such as legacy systems, custom software stacks, or high-performance computing tasks. Here's our take.
Google Compute Engine
Developers should use Google Compute Engine when they need flexible, scalable virtual infrastructure for applications that require custom configurations or legacy software not suited for managed services
Google Compute Engine
Nice PickDevelopers should use Google Compute Engine when they need flexible, scalable virtual infrastructure for applications that require custom configurations or legacy software not suited for managed services
Pros
- +It's ideal for high-performance computing, batch processing, and hybrid cloud deployments where fine-grained control over VM instances is necessary
- +Related to: google-cloud-platform, virtual-machines
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines
Developers should use Azure Virtual Machines when they need flexible, scalable infrastructure for running applications that require full control over the server environment, such as legacy systems, custom software stacks, or high-performance computing tasks
Pros
- +It is ideal for scenarios like lift-and-shift migrations, testing and development environments, and hosting applications that are not optimized for containerization or serverless architectures
- +Related to: azure-compute, azure-networking
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Google Compute Engine if: You want it's ideal for high-performance computing, batch processing, and hybrid cloud deployments where fine-grained control over vm instances is necessary and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines if: You prioritize it is ideal for scenarios like lift-and-shift migrations, testing and development environments, and hosting applications that are not optimized for containerization or serverless architectures over what Google Compute Engine offers.
