AWS (and GCP to some extent) are the default, and MSFT is skilled at selling to enterprise. But curious to see if this changes and/or is a lagging indicator. MSFT perception has significantly changed among devs in last few years.

Azure evolved quickly in past few years in core areas (databases/cosmos, containers/K8s, and serverless). I chose deis on GKE in ‘16. Would now consider Azure (props to
