Selecting one or more cloud vendors is a key choice when adopting public cloud services. The global market trends (shown below) can be seen as a starting point for you.
It is important to further refine your selection based on the following:
- services needed
- does a potential vendor offer your desired services in their cloud?
- comparing service x vendor, which fits best?
- example: does
AWS IoTorAzure IoTbetter meet your needs?
- services location(s)
- does a potential vendor have your desired services in your preferred location(s)?
- where are their data center(s)?
- community cloud skills
- what is the size of the total technical community for a potential vendor?
- what is the size of the local technical community in your geography for a potential vendor?
