In the fast-paced world of cloud computing, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) have emerged as two prominent contenders, each offering an array of powerful tools and services. As different businesses increasingly migrate their operations to the cloud, the decision of which cloud provider to choose becomes crucial in shaping the future of their digital infrastructure.
When we talk about cloud computing, there comes a lot of questions about which cloud services you need to choose that best suit your requirements. Since it is a relatively new field and several cloud giants provide the services for a price, people tend to search and ask which of these is most suited to their needs. Which service would work better for them? Google Computing Services or Amazon Web Services? Here, we will compare Google Cloud and AWS on the following parameters:
Google Cloud vs AWS: Which One Should You Choose?Amazon Web Services (AWS) was launched in 2006 publicly. Initially, it started as an initiative to upscale its internal resources, but in later stages, found out the potential existence of such a service, and hence, decided to launch it as a commercial cloud computing platform whereas Google Cloud Platform (GCP) was officially launched in 2008. But Google had been offering cloud services before this under different names for separate delivery models. Afterward, Google expanded its services to encompass a broad variety of things to provide services which is when GCP was formed and created. So, let’s see the difference between AWS and GCP on the 8 different parameters. 1. Market SharesFrom the graph below we can again say that the top three companies with the most Market Shares are AWS, GCP, and Azure. And again, Amazon Web Services is the leader in all this. The top companies for cloud computing are AWS, Microsoft Azure, GCP, Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent.
According to sources from Statista,As of January 2024, AWS (Amazon Web Services) holds 41.5% of the cloud computing market share, followed by Azure having 23 percent, of the total market share, which is then followed by Google Cloud Platforms (GCP) with about 10 percent share in the market. According to Wire19, a news report stated that these three companies, AWS, Azure, and GCP account for about 66 percent of the worldwide market. From all of this, it is inferred that AWS has the highest amount of market shares. 2. Services
3. Regions and ZonesShown below are the Availability regions of both GCP and AWS. Since AWS has been around for longer than GCP, it has been able to provide much more available regions and has several more planned too much more when in comparison to GCP.
4. Big Data AnalyticsAs mentioned earlier, both GCP and AWS provide the best tools when it comes to big data analytics such as Amazon’s Redshift and Athena in AWS and BigQuery and DataProc in GCP. Even though GCP provides various serverless options for data analytics in the cloud, Amazon has the most serverless data analytics options and also is efficient in disaster management in case of network loss or data loss, which it will take care of easily. Another aspect of Big Data Analytics in which AWS trumps GCP is its ease in the scalability of applications. It is very easy to scale any analytics tools in AWS as compared to GCP. Some common provisions are:
5. Pricing
6. Free-Tier ServicesBoth GCP and AWS provide free tiers in different ways.
As seen above, both AWS and GCP provide great services, but AWS provides way more functionalities when it comes to free tier options. 7. Cloud SecurityBoth AWS and GCP deal with security issues differently. In the case of GCP, it provides security measures in 3 different ways as seen here. In short, they provide:
In the case of AWS, aside from providing cloud security requirements such as:
It provides several benefits/packages which utilize a pay-per-use model such as:
From this, it is obvious that AWS again has the upper hand in the sheer number of functionalities. 8. Future Demand and ScopeWhen it comes to the scope in both GCP and AWS, it is pretty bright, and securing a viable career is quite possible. If we talk about AWS, even though there’s no new mention of building new servers, or websites which may change the foundation, due to its longevity in the market, we can assume it will stay for even longer since it is quite strong and there are not many competitors for them along with the fact that they are probably the most well-known cloud service providers bodes well for their future. On the other side, GCP while being younger than AWS, still does not provide as many functionalities as AWS nor does it hold as much of a share, but still, due to its plethora of apps developed by Google such as Gmail, Google Photos, Google Drive, and so on, it is obvious they will expand and optimize themselves even more in various ways when it comes to providing cloud services. ConclusionThough there’s a definitive answer in comparison to different functionalities, it is impossible to accurately inform which may be better for the average consumer. In a world with its ever-shifting needs, functionalities, and fundamental architectures, various services offered by both these services may appeal to people from different backgrounds and perspectives. Hence, it all boils down to what you’re looking for in a cloud service provider. FAQsWhat is the major difference between GCP and AWS?
