Cloud computing – AWS vs AZURE vs GOOGLE
www.otava.com/reference/aws-vs-azure-key-differences/

www.quora.com/What-are-the-major-differences-between-AWS-Azure-and-Google-Cloud
Google usually gives the biggest bang for your buck, but is not strong in all fields.
Azure will probably fit best if you are already using a lot of Microsoft products and Windows.
AWS is most mature, has the most flexibility, the best console, but it’s VM’s are less powerful or just more expensive
Amazon AWS
– Offers the most infrastructure as a service offerings such as low level computing (EC2), storage (S3), VPC (networking), database (RDS) with support for various operating systems (Windows, Many Linux flavors) with a vast 3rd party marketplace called AWS Marketplace where vendors provide their add-ons.
– Pioneer for serverless computing with Lambda, and now Fargate/Elastic Kubernetes Service.
– While Amazon has more product and feature offerings, it requires professional setup to operate & maintain. AWS gives you building blocks, it is up to you to build it together.
– According to Marketing Intelligence for Cloud Service Providers | Intricately there are over 1MM customers making it one of the most popular computing platforms to date: Intricately
– Price is similar to Microsoft
Microsoft AZURE
– Supports both Windows & Linux workloads, with a very deep integration into Microsoft’s developer ecosystem with Visual Studio, .NET etc. If you are an MSFT developer, Azure is an easy way to get your application deployed.
– Price is similar to AWS
– The newest entrant to the market, offers mostly Platform as Service offerings like Machine Learning as a Service, Kubernetes as a Service etc. However, Google does not offer as many product offerings.
– Google pioneered Kubernetes and is the leader in terms of delivering a truly managed Kubernetes experience
– Price can be cheaper than AWS and Microsoft due to the PaaS nature of the product, may require less building.

Samsung – The Wall MicroLED frame-less TV
The Wall TV can be configured to sizes ranging from 146 inches to 292 inches diagonally and uses MicroLED technology instead of OLED or traditional LED.
MicroLED delivers many of the benefits you’ll find in OLED, including perfect blacks and eye-popping colors, but the set also boasts 1,600 nits of brightness. That’s brighter than today’s OLED sets.
Currently, Samsung is offering two models of The Wall, or rather the individual panels that make up The Wall, the IW008J and the IW008R. While Samsung doesn’t list prices for these panels online, other resellers are listing the modules for $16 to $23 thousand dollars each.
These individual modules measure 31.75 x 17.86 inches, but have an individual resolution of 960 x 540 pixels. In order to enjoy the same 3840 x 2160 resolution you’ll get on a standard 4K TV, you’ll need to buy 16 of these panels, to set up in a 4 x 4 configuration that measures 146 inches diagonally.
If you’re in the market for a microLED TV, and are comfortable spending upwards of $300,000 to get the same 4K resolution that the best cheap 4K TVs provide, you’ll need to contact Samsung directly to order products and arrange custom installation.
Because The Wall is made up of borderless tiles, the modular design allows additional tiles to be added, making this even-bigger version of The Wall possible.
