Hi
Both you & PeeJay got it around the same time, but unless there's precedent set, I'll give it to PeeJay as he spent longer entering the solution too, so may have had it slightly earlier.
PeeJay up on Monday!

Saw that this morning. Very sad. Love the Allman Brothers. I wonder what drove him to it?
I wonder if 2017 will claim as many greats of music as 2016?

Just wanted to see what the lounge consensus is for cloud migration. Winner / choice and why?
At a previous job, we hosted on Amazon, and I remember they had some proprietary scheme for db backups where you couldn't get at your backup except to restore it on their servers/systems. Anybody know if this is still a constraint?

Went from Amazon to Azure as it is a much simpler product. Been very content with the outcome.

I'm always partial to Cirrus. I know everyone likes Cumulus, because they form big funny shapes, bit Cirrus clouds make those little wispy things, and they don't block out as much sun.
But I mean, if you actually want to migrate to the clouds... I guess you'd want Stratus. Big, solid sheets of clouds... And assuming you have a way to stand on them, you'd be least likely to step in a hole and fall to your death.
Does that help?

Kind of..
Although, I've always been partial to Cumulonimbus. They're dark, mean looking, and the lightning adds a touch of excitement.

My only experience is with Azure. The backups are .bacpac files which are really easy to download/restore to a local system.

I've only really used Azure. I used to colo some servers with Rackspace, but never used their cloud stuff. So far, except for some billing discrepancies Azure has worked pretty well. But, I cannot stress this enough, the customer service at Rackspace is totally freaking awesome. If you can afford, those guys are nothing short of a blast to talk to.

I wish you luck in getting a good response, but hardly anyone has extensive, recent experience with more than one cloud hosting service.
Your employer uses one service, and meanwhile, you gain no experience with the others. Good luck on figuring out how to make an educated, informed decision.

We use Azure and rate it very highly. We host all our web services on Azure as well as using Azure Service Bus and Azure Functions and WebJobs. Very easy to configure and with loads of articles and documentation. If you get stuck there is also loads of help on StackOverflow

I recently did an AWS certification. I hadn't done much Cloud before and I was really impressed by the platform. It's really amazing and as they have over 90% of the market and massive ongoing investment, it's a great choice. I'm not aware of any backup restriction with any of their database services. What Database are you using? If none of the AWS DB services suit, you can always run your own DB instances on EC2 and backup to S3.
