Microsoft Azure vs UpCloud: What are the differences?
What is Microsoft Azure? Integrated cloud services and infrastructure to support computing, database, analytics, mobile, and web scenarios. Azure is an open and flexible cloud platform that enables you to quickly build, deploy and manage applications across a global network of Microsoft-managed datacenters. You can build applications using any language, tool or framework. And you can integrate your public cloud applications with your existing IT environment.
What is UpCloud? A control panel and API lets you spend more time coding and less time managing your cloud infrastructure. It was formed by a group of like-minded thinkers who saw a clear opportunity to defy mediocrity: to become a cloud infrastructure company that would outperform every existing company on the market.
Microsoft Azure and UpCloud can be primarily classified as "Cloud Hosting" tools.
Some of the features offered by Microsoft Azure are:
- Use your OS, language, database, tool
- Global datacenter footprint
- Enterprise Grade with up to a 99.95% monthly SLA
On the other hand, UpCloud provides the following key features:
- Industry-leading performance
- Faster-than-SSD with MaxIOPS
- Native IPv6 Support
