Most of my cloud services are deployed in Google Cloud. As such I decided to use Google Cloud VPC as compared to Amazon Virtual Private Cloud. Support for serverless connector is super useful given that most of the micro services I build are deployed as Cloud Run services.

Azure App Service is well suited in our case :
  • Our website is developed by our tech partner in a full Microsoft Azure cloud based environment.
  • We gave them specific access rights and the CI / CD integration helped a lot for updates and improvements deployment.
  • Most of the infra issues we had with our website weren't coming from App Service

Well-suited scenarios: 1. Large Organisations with more than at least a thousand employees. 2. Teams spanning across multiple countries or regions. 3. Research institutes require privacy and confidentiality. 4. Educational institutes to separate departments from various attacks. Less appropriate scenarios: 1. Startups have less than 100 employees. 2. Users are accessing resources from the same place.

  • Google Cloud VPC support for Oracle Databases is still the lagging point. Improvement in that front is need of the hour
  • Google Cloud VPC still needs to work on Technical customer services.
  • Google still not among the first to launch new services which makes the customers to choose other Cloud solution providers.

Usability
I enjoy the fact that Azure App Service can be managed by the Azure portal and a fully graphical user interface, as well as from two different flavors of command-line interface, i.e. Azure CLI and Azure Powershell. By utilizing the Azure Cloud Shell, we are able to switch between Azure Bash (CLI) and Powershell at any given moment and manage the Azure App Service settings from devices of any form-factor (Web based management).

VPC is a difficult concept to grasp and recommendations for configuring it would be helpful in educating the users to make the right choice while using the product in configuring networking for their cloud deployments. Also, the user interface can be intuitively designed so as to suggest templates to perform common configurations with regard to VPC.

We had an issue where we deployed too large of a resource and didn't notice until the bill came through. They were very understanding and saw we weren't utilizing the resources so they issued a generous refund in about 4 hours. Very fast, friendly, and understanding support reps from my experience.

In terms of deploying your apps, Azure App Service provides a solid foundation. You may use either the Azure command-line interface or the Web Portal to administer these apps. As a whole, I find You may easily deploy your apps to Azure App Service to be a really difficult platform for novices to get their feet wet. First and foremost, I'd look at Heroku's user interface and the way it abstracts compute units.

Also, Google Cloud VPC is the ideal choice for AI/ML and data analytics because of Google's reputation in these fields. Google Cloud VPC, on the other hand, provides a secure private network, despite the fact that there is no trace of the public network on it.
