One of the great things we like about Microsoft Azure is that it has a consistent identity and access infrastructure whether it be Entra ID, RBAC, Conditional Access, everything works in sync. Another thing is simplified lifecycle operations, like for VM's it has native support for managed disks, backups, monitoring etc. Security is also great, you can have rule based NSGs at the subnet and NIC level. App services are good and offer multiple deployment slots, environment separations and rollbacks.

Honestly, as an RPA Developer, using Google Cloud with UiPath has been a total game changer for my workflows, even if the initial setup felt a bit like a maze. Connecting to the Google Cloud buckets is super smooth once you get the service account permissions right—it beats manually moving files around any day. And honestly, having the Secret Manager integrated is a massive relief because I don't have to worry about hardcoding sensitive stuff or messing with local config files that everyone ends up seeing. There's definitely a bit of a learning curve with the APIs and making sure the authentication doesnt time out mid-process, but once its running, it's rock solid.

My experience with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has been solid. While OCI may not have the same market share as some other vendors, it brings decades of enterprise-grade experience, especially in database technologies over the past few years. The background is reflected in reliability and strong database capabilities.

Huawei Cloud can be a big player in the future and even compete with other similar and more mature solutions due to cheaper licensing costs, but for now, lacks a lot of features that were added many years ago in other tools. Also, many tools don't support Huawei cloud, which makes integrations harder or impossible.

I have been using OVH public cloud for over 5 years. My experience so far has been close to flawless with this product. The deployment and setup steps are super easy and take very little time. Public cloud resources once deployed are fast, reliable and dosent go down often. The SLA is spot on and we have not recorded any outages since we started using the service.
