Please take a look into Google Cloud. It&#x27;s now feature equivalent with AWS (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloud.google.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;google-cloud-platform-for-aws-professionals" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloud.google.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;google-cloud-platform-for-aws-...</a>). Google Cloud is better than AWS on all fronts other than Relational Databases. Google Cloud has MySQL only. AWS has MySQL, PostreSQL, Oracle, MSSQl. Rest of the services Google beats AWS by a fair and wide margin. I have done a fair amount of benchmarking Google vs AWS in past 3 months and conclusions are shocking. With Google Cloud, you can save about 50% of your bill (I have taken into account of reserved instances), huge increase in companies agility (Speed in taking decisions like capacity planning, instance type, sizing, zones, cluster sizes ... due to simplified infrastructure and pricing &amp; performance wise too, blazing fast disks, live vm migration), far better security (data encryption at rest and on wire by default for all products, ssh key management). I am presenting my findings at our meetup group (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.meetup.com&#x2F;Cloud-Big-Data-and-Data-Science-Group-of-Saint-Louis&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.meetup.com&#x2F;Cloud-Big-Data-and-Data-Science-Group-...</a>) in a couple of months.
