The Impending Cloud Reshuffle

I don’t actually know that much about the AWS ecosystem at all but to me from the outside I wouldn’t even consider doing anything greenfield there they already seem so far behind in terms of offerings some of which you touched on there but the actual list is much longer AFAIK.

Does anyone who’s less ignorant than me want to give me a run down of why AWS holds so much appeal? Is it purely non technical reasons? Are they doing a much better job than GCP in areas I just am not aware about?

I ask as a genuine question to learn more despite how it may read…

AWS is the cloud standard. It's not fancy, it's not cheap, but it does it's job. There is more widespread knowledge around it vs the other clouds => it's easier to hire, imo not the best way to hire but lots of companies do it that way. It's probably what MS Windows is for the desktop.

That was the impression I had from the outside. They were clearly number 1 for a long time and I guess that’s when everyone made the decision and now the idea of migrating is not feasible for most.
