Amazon Web Services
Amazon Web Services (AWS) — Choose AWS for the strongest all-around default: it has the broadest mature infrastructure/service ecosystem, the deepest operational talent pool, and a very large global footprint (39 regions and 123 Availability Zones).
ChatGPT
Google Cloud Platform
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) — Choose GCP when data platforms, Kubernetes-centric engineering, and AI-oriented workloads are central to the product, while accepting a somewhat smaller enterprise-services ecosystem than AWS or Azure; it currently offers 43 regions and 130 zones.
