PART B
Discuss about the different service provided, functions, storages, VM and security between AWS
and Azure
AWS Azure
Definition It can be defined as comprehensive, evolving
the cloud computing platform and also
providing the better service by Amazon.
Generally, this type of cloud server may
include the mixture of infrastructure as
platform as a service, SaaS and Iaas (Datta,
Kumar and Bates, 2020). It is one of the best
cloud service platform to maintain the
network connection between hardware for
multiple application service.
Microsoft Azure is based on the set of
cloud services, which help for
organization in order to meet the need
and requirements. It became useful for
giving freedom to build, deploy
application and manage large amount
or data. Usually, organization will be
used Azure to establish coordination
between one or more network.
Service
provided
Generally, Microsoft Azure will provide the
better cloud platform services to consumer
through windows development tools such as
active directory, SQL database. In this way,
Azure will provide the service and also
integration with multiple tools. For Example-
the organization is basically used Azure to
manage accounting details. Other hand, it is
catching up-enterprise now can run red hat
Linux and another Apache Hadoop cluster.
Amazon has provided the better open
source service for different
communities. There are various type
of open source integration that already
available in the platform (Gupta,
Phade and Ramchandran, 2020). For
Example- GitHub and Jenkins. These
are considered as user-friendly to use
in proper manner.
Functions AWS can be used Lambda function as a
service for performing execution code.
Afterwards, it is building the concept of
containerization. Also used the AWS virtual
machine to minimise the scope of
Microsoft Azure is one of the new
player in term of serverless realm.
Generally, it will be offered the
significant platform as a service
functionality. In order to create the

containerization.
On the other hand, it can be performed the
significant functions run on virtual machine.
It is becoming immutable web server within
multiple applications. Moreover, it can build
the immutable web server.
virtual environment for giving on
demand server side functions.
Afterwards, it can easily running the
ability in the form of arbitrary code
within temporary execution
environment.
Storage AWS has considered the temporary storage
that can allocated once at starting.
Afterwards, it automatically destroyed when
it can be terminated (Gupta, Phade and
Ramchandran, 2020). On the other hand,
AWS has provided the block storage,
separately attached with instance. Sometimes,
it offers the object storage and provide the
data archiving services. Usually, it can
support through relational database, NoSQL
and other big data technologies.
Azure is basically offering the
temporary storage by using block
storage, VM. The different block
blobs and other files also server the
better object storage. In order to
support the relational database system.
Furthermore, Azure can provide the
recovery site, export or import the
backup through additional archiving.
VM AWS EC2 users are basically configured with
own virtual machine, customized with MIS.by
using AWS, it provide the option for user to
select appropriate memory capacity, size,
power and different virtual machine.
Nowadays, it can be available in different
countries.
In Microsoft Azure, user can select the
suitable virtual hard disk, which are
equivalent to different machine. For
instances, it will be creating an
effective virtual machine (Gupta,
Phade and Ramchandran, 2020).
Afterwards, it also pre-configured by
Microsoft and user can specified the
amount of core and memory.
Security AWS can be used the encryption of object
data which performed as significant role in
term of cloud security. Another way, it will be
Azure cannot support the data
encryption technique. It also not
support the customer managed key nut

will provide the option to manage different
keys.
include roadmap features (Gupta,
Phade and Ramchandran, 2020).
Recommend the one provider and justify the choice, why.
According to case scenario, it has been identified the both Azure and AWS that mainly
used in the enterprises. Azure should be preferable choice while business is looking for using
IaaS and also diversified the tool then AWS. As per discussion on the basis of security, VM,
service provider and function (Kim and Lee, 2020). In this way, it has recommended to select the
AWS which allows to get the engine running process. In order to deliver the immediate value
from end user to business. Another way, it is also understanding the process which always taken
as advantage, benefits to handle, manage the capabilities of Amazon. Furthermore, it also
personalise to improve the performance and efficiency of organization.

Creating an effective dataset and groups, when it open Amazon Personalize. It is the one of step
to create an effective datasets groups. Furthermore, it become suitable for organization from
loading historical data and also gathered from real time program or events (Mansouri and Buyya,
2020). In ABC organization, AWS has suggested to adopt the central govern environment that
allows for growing and scaling the workload on Amazon. It is useful for providing the facilities
of ABC enterprise that help for managing and controlling the compliances.
Moreover, it is automated the account creation, which primarily reflects on the business
need and requirement. IT administrator has applied the effective policies for Governance, simply
billing the setting within single payment (OPARA, 2020). It is one of best option to manage the
AWS service within organization.
Furthermore, it help for simplifying IT operations through automated AWS creation as
well as management. It also enabled to attach with policies and automatically create an account.
For Example- ABC enterprise that will be creation of account for different application, workload
isolation and grant the entities for accessible purpose within AWS services.
