Comparison
Comparing Google Cloud, AWS, and Azure
All three major clouds offer virtual servers, databases, and storage. The differences show up in data analytics, AI, enterprise identity integration, and pricing detail. As a partner working with multiple clouds, we summarize what we have observed.

Where does Google Cloud stand out?
Google Cloud stands out for serverless data analytics with BigQuery, AI with Gemini models, container infrastructure (GKE) as the birthplace of Kubernetes, and network performance. AWS has the broadest range of services, and Azure has the deepest integration with the Microsoft ecosystem (Entra ID, Windows, Microsoft 365).
General comparison
| Topic | Google Cloud | AWS | Microsoft Azure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where it stands out | Data analytics, AI, containers | Breadth of services, mature ecosystem | Microsoft ecosystem, hybrid enterprise |
| Data warehouse | BigQuery (serverless) | Redshift | Synapse / Fabric |
| AI platform | Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (formerly Vertex AI) | Bedrock, SageMaker | Azure AI Foundry |
| Kubernetes | GKE | EKS | AKS |
| Virtual server discounts | Automatic sustained-use discount plus commitment | Savings plans and reservations | Reservations and savings plans |
| Region in Türkiye (18 September 2026) | Planned (Turkcell partnership) | None | None |
The table is a general guide. Service names and regions can be updated by the providers. A final decision should rest on a workload-specific cost and architecture analysis.
For companies using more than one cloud
Many Turkish companies already use multiple clouds in practice: email in one place, ERP in another, data analytics in a third. What matters is keeping identity, security, and cost management in one hand while placing each workload where it fits best.
- Manage identity in one place (Entra ID or Cloud Identity) and connect the others to it.
- Set up data analytics close to where the data is concentrated. Factor in data egress fees.
- Consolidate cost reporting to cover all clouds.
