Microsoft Azure is also called as Windows Azure. It is a worldwide cloud platform which is used for building, deploying, and managing services. It supports multiple programming languages such as Java, Nodejs, C, and C#. The advantage of using Microsoft Azure is that it allows us to a wide variety of services without arranging and purchasing additional hardware components.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is introduced by Google in 2011. It allows us to use Google's products such as Google search engine, Gmail, YouTube, etc. Most of the companies use this platform to easily build, move, and deploy applications on the cloud. It allows us to access these applications using a high-speed internet connection. The advantage of GCP is that it supports various databases such as SQL, MYSQL, Oracle, Sam, and more.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) provides various cloud computing services, including computing, data analytics, data storage, and machine learning.
