PURPOSE

When you evaluate cloud platforms, you need to compare features, costs, benefits, limitations and implementation details. TechRepublic Premium takes a look at the three biggest players — Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform.

From the cloud platform spotlight:

AMAZON WEB SERVICES
