There is a clear shift from AWS to Azure Cloud in many service based IT companies. Not sure if there is any reason / pattern behind this trend. Heard certain services in Azure fair better compared to its counter parts.
Nope. It’s not about the services. Most of vendors shifting are retailers and they don’t want to pay Amazon while it’s also a huge retailer and their competitor. Additionally most of big companies already have Microsoft software and subscriptions installed and integrated (windows, ad, sql server, office 365) and Microsoft can offer some free quotas within those contracts signed off to make customer try their Azure Cloud.
@@shubhankarpaygude We are speaking here about AWS, Azure and GCP platforms, not coding. If you learn "the cloud" it won't make a difference if it's AWS or Azure because you will know to work with all of them. Is like learning to drive a car, do you learn to drive a toyota or a subaru? you learn how to drive - the car These are different from coding. Do your own research
Could you make a video talking about other services that companies use in conjunction with their cloud solutions? Such as terraform and Kubernetes. I always see those two programs the most in job descriptions when searching the various available cloud job openings.
Another good video there Lucy. I have certs in AWS and azure, and I recently sat for the Google digital cloud leader exam. Didn’t do so well, mainly because it’s more data science and ML focused
Issue is this. I’m about to test and pass my aws cloud test but when you look anywhere here in Miami they want solutions architect and anything you do find for cloud wants year of experience along with degrees amongst other requirements. There has to be something Im possibly missing.
It's the way all tech jobs are. Even entry level askes for like 2 yrs experience. U can still get hired but it means priority would be given to people with mote experience or qualifications. Would suggest going for startups or small businesses and build ur experience and then go to Google or so unless ur lucky the 1st time
so sir should I start my cloud journey with MS Azure 900 certification or AWS cloud practitioner foundational certification? I'm currently a comp undergraduate in Pune, India...
There are fewer jobs, but that doesn't mean that AWS jobs aren't available at all for freshers. However, it is certain that you will have to work hard to find a job. But you can get a fresher AWS Job. My brother got it.
@@adityapasarkar2139I'm also from Pune brother. Currently AWS has the most demand in Pune or any metro city. The thing is there are very few direct AWS jobs available. If you can't find a job solely on basis of AWS, then you might need to learn DevOps. DevOps is in very high demand and fundamentally requires Cloud Platforms to work on.
Hi Lucy, I found your video quite helpful. Personally, I'm trying to figure out which one platform would be better not only to learn (at least a little bit about) but mainly which one should I pick for my own software startup. So far, for everything I've researched, I think Google Cloud could be the best option for me. But I'm not fully sure. I'm building a startup with an AI-driven product/digital service (related to the e-learning industry). I'm in the early stages of it all... getting to terms with what exactly we're trying to accomplish, ideating some type of plan about how we could accomplish it, building a team to work on executing such a plan, selecting the overall infrastructure and tech stack to build things with, and so forth (apart from incorporating a company and all of those legalities). Here, infrastructure-wise, I am quite torn apart between Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud because I find both of these cloud service providers are leading the way when it comes to AI-related cloud services (I'm not talking about underlying infrastructure necessarily, but actual services provided... especially "serverless" ones, which are a lot easier to set up and manage, at least talking from my not-so-very-extensive noob-like experience with the cloud). Azure has Azure AI Studio, for example, which I find very handy and promising, and Google Cloud has Vertex AI Studio, which I also find very promising. Azure seems to be a lot friendlier with OpenAI's models especially, and Google with, well... Google's own Gemini/Gemma set of models. But one can set up and/or use other models, too (at least I know this to be factual with Azure AI, although I think Vertex can do somewhat similar). And a lot of those models are offered as serverless APIs (in the case of Azure, for instance, the serverless APIs I'm the most interested in include the array of OpenAI's GPT and Meta's Llama models). Another of my concerns, apart from ease of use for developers/engineers (including how quickly one can achieve something with them), is actual performance. I find, for example (I live in Argentina), that products that have Azure as their backend cloud provider work a lot faster here than those backed up by Google Cloud. I think the reason for this is that Microsoft actually has servers very close to this part of the world, while Google doesn't have them as close. And so the latency is not the same (Google is a bit slower here). That's my gut feeling why the speed feels different. Digital products (I'm using this as an unbrella term for anything running on the cloud as a backend, like web pages and especially apps... things like Netflix) that use AWS also are quite speedy where I live. So for example, Netflix is a lot faster than Spotify in my region, to put an example. Although both are "usable" (and since I can't live without music and I can go on for months, even years without watching a single movie or tv show or anything of that sort, I actually use Spotify a WHOLE lot more than Netflix... to the point that I am not paying for Netflix anymore, because I simply do not use it, and I am indeed paying for Spotify, because I use it daily, hourly, even). In the end both clouds seem to run "sufficiently well," though. I mean, I use RUclips every single day (I'm using it right now!), and it feels fast enough. The same with Spotify and such. But indeed, things like Adobe Creative Cloud (I'm really liking Firefly lately, for example), feel a bit speedier. The same comparing Google Search with Microsoft Bing: the different is not a deal-breaker (I use Google almost exclusively and to hell with Bing), but Bing feels speedier. Not by a whole lot, but it is noticeably faster. Another, and an important, of my concerns is price and ease of use, especially as an entrepreneur without much money to invest who has to watch out for expenditures and cut off as many of them as I can (both on infrastructure and people). I find Google Cloud to be one of the cheapest cloud providers out there. Not only do they seem to be one of the most reasonably priced (and with a very clear pricing model), but also they feel (and maybe this is the case because I'm quite used to, well, "using" Google products), like the one cloud I am the most comfortable with (UX/UI-wise). I find their interface really friendly. Second comes Azure in this realm (in my own subjective experience). And oh goddamn holy Molly AWS looks like a goddamn ugly mess coming from the 90s! It doesn't look all that friendly at all in my eyes. Anyway... this is just me thinking out loud (or thinking with my fingers, through the keyboard, down into this comment input field). Bottom line: thank you for your video. It made me think a little bit. Wish you the best with your "RUclipsr" endeavors.. have a happy and productive rest of your day/night... goodbye.
Hows does one learn theee platforms when there is a free tier? You will have to pay access them. So how can you learn them? Seems like only Google has that free option where you can learn Cloud.
@TechwithLucy Then you'll have to pay. Let's take Jupyter Notebook and python as an example. You can practice coding and learn at your own pace. You don't have to worry about losing anything or paying for anything.
The aws stack is just way more interesting to me. Powershell and C# are not as enjoyable to code in as python or golang. Keep in mind, azure numbers are only this high because 365 services are linked into azure through the entra ID tenant. It doesnt mean that many customers are actually hosting azure based VMs. These are mostly SaaS numbers.
Hi, is the course and practice exam from tutorials dojo (study and practice for a month) is enough to passed the AWS CCP certifications? i'm struggling to jungle of resources. hope to get answers from you. thanks
hey Lucy, thanks for this information :) what background do you recommend to start a path in the cloud? I only have experience in marketing, but I'm looking to expand my job possibilities in the IT industry... is it mandatory to have a technical background (as in, do you need to be a developer)? or can you start from scratch even if you don't have that background?
Great content! I subscribed watching your AWS Cert Path video. 1. What do you consider would be the best combination of two platforms to be more competitive on the job market?

Hi Lucy, thanks for the video ! 😊 I just wanted to ask you how could I see which cloud platform is the highest in demand in my local area ? Whenever I try to find AWS of GCP related jobs (in LinkedIn for example), I find job opportunities at these companies, which could not be the best option sometimes 😅 Thanks in advance!
Hey Lucy! Thank you for this great and informative video! I think its important to know a little about every cloud but concentrate on one as well!

Which has the best docs
I just read a reddit discussion and AWS was mentioned as having better/best documentation among cloud platforms. Then Azure, then GCP
GCP is not a friendly for users like others and it's a huge cons
Can anyone suggest me names for forum where i can connect or ask queries to aws dev. or anyone who is interested in answering query
Google is far behind.
Azure gives me window vibes
AWS is an option left.
