Episode 316 – Tools, Tips and Tricks – Comprehensive Comparison Guide Azure vs AWS vs Google Cloud

The security and IT world is all about knowledge. No one can remember it all and in order to be effective you have to have a good reference/catalog system in place. I started a list of Azure, AWS and Google Cloud Service offerings for my reference. There are other lists out on the Internet similar but not how I wanted it nor have all the services in one document. So I made one and now I'd like to share it with you. You may find it useful, you may not, but any knowledge that provides one more nugget of knowledge is beneficial.
