Really interesting read! I had no idea Azure was catching up to AWS so quickly. I've been all in on AWS for a while but I'll have to give Azure another look the next time I'm starting a new project.
When I have a choice I usually go with Windows EC2 instances anyway and my main programming languages (C#, TypeScript, and PowerShell for scripting) as well as my favorite development environments (Visual Studio and VS Code) are all Microsoft inventions. I really like the way they've embraced open source in order to stay relevant and their developer ecosystem just keeps getting better and better.
