If you're familiar with Google Cloud and its services, the terminology in Microsoft Azure can be disorienting.

Learning objectives

In this module, you will:

  • Learn about identity and access management (IAM) in Azure compared to Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
  • Compare governance services on GCP with Azure.
  • Learn about the differences between GCP and Azure infrastructure as a service (IaaS) options.
  • Compare database services in GCP with Azure.
  • Compare event-driven architecture and messaging services in GCP and Azure.
  • Compare Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
  • Learn where to find more information about GCP-equivalent Azure services.
