My experience with AWS, specifically for machine learning model productionization, has been largely positive. We use the complete ecosystem. AWS offers several highly scalable services such as SageMaker, Step Functions and Lambdas to facilitate deployment. We also use AWS Redshift to store metadata for the files stored on the AWS S3 bucket. We also use EC2 instances to set up environments for testing our machine learning models. The great part is that since the EC2 is on the same account as other resources, we can access our AWS services and data directly from the EC2 instance. The complexity and potential costs can be challenging to manage, for instance, step functions are billed for each step instead of for a single input/output. Overall, the platform is powerful, but with a slightly steep learning curve, and a lot more space for cost optimization.Read all insights and reviews for Amazon Web Services

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.Read all insights and reviews for Microsoft Azure

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.Read all insights and reviews for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

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.Read all insights and reviews for Huawei Cloud

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.
