In comparing these two cloud giants, we’ve been seeking the same answer that many quests for: which is better Google Cloud or Azure?

It’s time to dispel a common major myth about the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as it relates to Amazon Web Services (AWS). Despite what many believe, Google is not “new” to the cloud. In fact, Google’s cloud infrastructure predates Amazon’s; for years, Google used it for all of its internal projects, including Google Search, Gmail, and YouTube. GCP simply allows other enterprises to take advantage of the same time-tested cloud services that Google has relied upon for years.
