What is this?

Major providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, and others) offer overlapping services with different strengths and regions.

Why should you care?

CloudVerse often multi-clouds or picks one primary for skills and billing clarity.

See it live — copy this example

Use AWS/Azure/GCP free tier or local Docker/Kind. Sketches and YAML are meant to be typed and adapted.

# Provider chooser (lab)
# AWS  — breadth, regions
# Azure — Microsoft enterprise + hybrid
# GCP  — data/ML strengths
# CloudVerse default lab: one primary + optional DR secondary

What happened?

  • Compare regions, IAM model, managed DB options, and support.
  • Skills and existing contracts matter as much as feature checklists.

Practice next

  1. Pick a primary for the lab.
  2. List two services you need (VM, DB, object store).
  3. Check one region near you.
  4. Price a small VM in two clouds.
  5. Note free-tier limits.

Remember

One primary provider. Compare regions/IAM. Multi-cloud is a strategy, not a default.

CloudVerse primary cloud

Team picks Azure for Microsoft shop.

Outcome: Skills and contracts align.
