  • Abstract

    The adoption of Cloud computing is a hot topic in the IT industry as it gained massive interest in the last few years by deploying multiple ‎applications from on premise data centres to cloud in a bid to reduce cost, latency and boost agility. There are different Cloud Service Plat-‎forms based on different criteria such as models, budget and so on. The majors in technology are Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Mi-‎crosoft Azure, Amazon Web services (AWS), and various cloud platforms for deployment of applications. To help enterprise organizations ‎select the right platform, we represent here three different cloud platforms with detailed pros and cons and comparisons of the top 3 cloud ‎service providers, AWS, Azure, GCP. In this research, not only, a critical analysis of cloud service provider has been applied to underpin ‎the research, but also a web-based application will be deployed on each platform to do the performance analysis of the cloud platforms. ‎This paper aims to do the analysis of well-known CSP’s by highlighting a) compute services, b) networking services, c) storage services, ‎also in the deployment models a) price per hour b) latency per hour. The enterprise can find the conclusion which has been made based ‎upon the criteria, to identify the cloud platform offering optimal performance for enterprise clients‎.
