How to Choose Your Cloud Provider

When we need to migrate workloads to the cloud or build a greenfield environment in the cloud, a point of discussion that often comes up is which cloud provider to choose. The decision is often straightforward for organizations that are already on a specific cloud for the last several years, and have adopted a specific cloud provider. For any new workload migration or to build cloud-native apps, for obvious reasons that specific cloud provider is often the preferred one unless there is a compelling reason to look at some specialized capability of another cloud provider.

However, there are many organizations today who have only moved a few workloads to the cloud or none at all and plan to migrate their on-premise data center workloads in the next few years. For these organizations, it becomes critical to decide which cloud provider to choose.
