Azure and AWS network service comparison
When Azure launched, they were more focused on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), with less of a focus on Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). For SaaS and PaaS, the networking services at the lower layers are often abstracted away from the user. For example, the SaaS offering of Office 365 is often offered as a remotely hosted endpoint that can be reached over the public internet. The PaaS offering of building web applications using Azure App Service is often done via a fully managed process, via popular frameworks such as .NET or Node.js.
The IaaS offering, on the other hand, requires us to build our infrastructure in the Azure cloud. As the undisputed leader in the space, much of the target audience already has experience with AWS.
