AWS, Azure or GCP? Choosing a Cloud for an Indian SME

They Are More Alike Than Different

For most small and mid-sized businesses, AWS, Azure and GCP can all do the job. Chasing a marginal feature difference is usually a distraction.

What Actually Decides It

Azure tends to fit businesses already invested in Microsoft 365 and Windows. AWS has the broadest service range and ecosystem. GCP appeals where data and analytics dominate. More practical still: which platform can your team or IT partner actually run well, what regions and data-residency options exist in India, and how predictable is the pricing for your workload.

Pick one as your primary platform and build skills there. A second cloud added just in case usually doubles the management burden without doubling the value.
