Check out this video next where I talk about how I became a cloud security engineer:

Great video, was leaning towards AWS for a minute now but I have more information now after watching a few of your videos. Keep going man, you’re going to blow up.

Great video with a great explanation bro. I too chose Azure over AWS for two reasons
1) Business and Enterprise already depend on MS services to normal business function. So much so that if the disappeared, the business would struggle to function. I felt azure was the best cloud to learn because of the leverage and better integration it could potentially offer to these businesses which already heavily use MS services.

2) John Savill. You may know of him already if you’re in this space but his videos were explained so well and he covers a WIDE range of azure topics, that I thought, anything I need to to azure related I could find in his videos. Which would only accelerate my learning that much more

👍🏼

I tried the 3 main platforms and ended up choosing Azure because it is simply better.

This is a class-A motivational video segment that rouses the heart of why I prefer MS Azure over AWS. Thanks for sharing and inspiring!

Great point on the mases going to AWS, I saw a guy on LinkedIn taking almost all AWS certifications on rapid fire.
He probably learned the exams questions by heart (not having a real cloud experience), but still taking someone else's place on the interview race, before having his skills verified.

AZURE certifications are a little bit cheaper than aws

[imakethesites]

Thanks for this! I'm learning .NET and Azure now because there's such a high demand.

[barryon]

Looking at posted programmer positions it seemed to me that a lot of places asking for .Net experience also want Azure over AWS. Not surprising, but seeing as I have a lot of .Net experience it did influence my choice.

Good video. Your 5th reason is the same reason why I am going with Azure or GCP.I know the cloud industry is evolving rapidly, but my only gripe with Microsoft is that you have to recertify way too quickly now. It makes it seem like it is harder to focus on building other skillsets. Do you think it is work maintaining Azure certs or just be one and done for the experience?

[urdarkside]

random question, where did you get the digital clock behind you on the table? can you drop a link please.

[lattebean]

"Personal Research" for me was... I'd rather choose to work with a straightforward "Virtual Machine" than silly name such as "Elastic Compute". lol
And as you also mentioned, working with Windows since anyone of us was a kid really made it a bit easier to grasp than other providers.

Great video. I choose Azure cloud because of 3 reasons:
1) My Mentor/Teacher is an Azure Solution Architect and also works for Microsoft. He taught me everything about Azure by inviting me to his Azure training classes.
2) From what I know, Microsoft Azure encompasses the 3 main cloud service models (IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS) more than AWS or Google Cloud Platform.
3) This is my opinion, but I find Azure to be a more user-friendly platform.

[Recerck]

Thank you very much for your clear and short explanation. It was certainly helpful for me.

[__-cdnd]

Thanks for this !
Very short and helpful .

[beatslife]

I picked up 2 aws certs because of infrastructure and intel environment. 83% of aws infrastructure sits in the govtment and intel side. I like azure for app security and the Oracle partnership but the cert expires yearly so no thanks.

[PoxiiPro]

Thanks for the video! Do you feel like after doing your azure cert, it benefited you in getting a job offer?

[funmijoyous]

I chose to learn GCP for a career in cloud engineering and wasn't able to articulate why😀but thanks your explanation, I now can. I am familiar with the Google interface. having done the google analytics course years ago there was something familiar about the GCP learning path.

[paulsongerald]

Hey, I’m just beginning out my cloud engineering journey as a frontend developer, could you reply this comment and prolly give me a mentoring help, would be really grateful to hear from you

[olatilewaidowu]

Thanks for giving the factors and still being neutral with your advice
