This guide is only representative from my point of view and it may not be accurate and you should go on the official AWS & GCP websites for accurate and detailed information. It's initially inspired by AWS in simple English and GCP for AWS professionals. The idea is to compare both services, give simple one-line explanation and examples with other software that might have similiar capabilities. Comment below for suggestions.
Category | Service | AWS | GCP | Description | It's like |
