techlatest_net··on How to teach technical concepts with cartoons

techlatest_net··on GCP Outpaces Azure, AWS in the 2021 Cloud Report
I completely second this. We publish VM solutions in all the three marketplaces and find GCP the best as a partner and as a customer. The VMs spin in seconds , cost is the lowest for most of the common services and the web console is fast and does not have the clutter like that of AWS or Azure.

Ever since they got Thomas Kurien as new CEO, there is more focus on the marketing and partnering outside of US & Europe. The recent deal with ARAMCO to setup data center in KSA reflects this.

From a customer base perspective, our experience is that GCP has more developer & startup focused customer base, Azure has more enterprise crowd where as AWS is a good mix of every one.
