Abstract

Cloud computing services have helped many companies and organisations increase their efficiency and effectiveness in today's cutthroat business environment. Because of the proliferation of cloud computing service providers, this technology is evolving at a rapid pace. However, picking the right cloud provider in terms of the necessary service quality standards is still a huge hurdle. Popular cloud providers like as AWS, Azure, and GCP provide a variety of cloud services that are known for their expertise, dependability, and reasonable prices. Organizations across various sectors, including finance, communication, healthcare, business, and education, are increasingly drawn to these solutions. Three companies account for 70% of the cloud computing market: Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). When selecting a cloud service provider to host websites or applications, many organizations and businesses choose between these three cloud service providers. Despite appearing similar at first glance, each provider has exceptional qualities and difficulties that significantly influence costs, ease of use, and overall experience. This paper outlines the major differences between AWS, Azure, and GCP, aiding organizations and businesses in making an informed decision about which cloud service provider to choose.
