Conheça a terminologia das nuvens AWS, Azure e Google

As nuvens públicas oferecem uma gama tão grande de serviços hoje que é fácil a gente se confundir com a terminologia de cada fornecedor.

A tabela do abaixo ajuda a navegar nesse mar de nomes criados pelos três principais provedores de nuvem: AWS, Azure e Google Cloud.

Mas cabe a ressalva: os serviços de uma mesma categoria não são exatamente iguais entre os provedores. Há nuances que tornam alguns serviços mais indicados do que outros, conforme o tipo de projeto e o perfil do cliente.

Daí a importância do Especialista Cloud que orienta as escolhas do cliente e o acompanha na jornada de uso da nuvem.
