Have you ever asked yourself or your dev-ops why you preferred cloud platform X over Y?
Try it now and prepare to be amazed at how superficial the answers will be, replies such as:
- "It's what I know best"
- "That's what everybody else does"
- "I never tried anything else"
- "Y sucks!" (without ever trying it firsthand)
Cloud is one of the most essential components of your product and everything suggests that it will grow to be even more prominent in years to come, it's also one of the most costly expenses that you're company makes so why are you condoning with juvenile reasons for picking your vendor?
It's time for some research! right?
Well the problem is that the offerings that exist are complicated to understand, and are not standardly documented which makes it hard to perform an "oranges to oranges" comparison and when you see representatives on stage or in person they're rarely together but prefer to showcase their goods on their own turf in heavily marketed events.
This event is different, we're here for you!!!
We managed to gather representatives for all four major offerings; Amazon, Microsoft, IBM and Google, we're going to put them on one stage for you to ask them the tough questions and they are:
- Avi Shitrit, Solutions Engineer, Google Cloud Platform
- Yaron Schneider, Cloud Solution Architect, Microsoft
- Vadim Solovey, AWS Certified Architect & CTO, DoiT International
- Avi Vizel, IBM Cloud Evangelist
Crafted in an AMA style format we ask you to submit your questions here.
