AWS Explained: The Basics

Can't speak for Azure as I don't use it, but I really have to call bullshit on AWS UI being better than GCP.

GCP is discoverable and follows the principle of least surprise quite consistently, and they show REST/CLI references for everything you're doing in the web UI too.

I mean imagine you're a new user and ask yourself "what does route53 do?". Then ask yourself "what does cloud DNS do?"

GCP's services are nicely named, but the console dashboard is still a mess, with them shifting around the items all the time. The half-foot into stackdriver is also kinda weird.

Amazed that S3's web UI fails at both pagination and search.

they're both wretched to use, does degree really matter?

It matters quite a lot when you claim one is "far superior" to others.
