Comparison of cloud services
There are many cloud services out there, mainly Azure & AWS, but couldn't find any content online which draws a comparison between different services available for a specific task, for a quick glance. This repository is an effort to do a simple comparison between them. Links are available for quick navigation. Work is in progress, so the list will grow over time.
