First of all, AWS (Amazon Web Services) and OpenStack are the two most popular cloud technology solutions that enjoy a vast customer base globally in which AWS is user flavoured and OpenStack is the proprietary cloud-based shared services . Let’s discuss more about AWS and OpenStack and its difference in details,

Amazon Web Services

To start with, we all know that Cloud Computing plays a major role in the current era of information technology as a emerging trend with drastic growth. Among many Cloud Computing Service providers around the world, AWS is considered as the king for Cloud Computing Service Providers with high demand.

Importantly, OpenStack is an open-source, IaaS cloud computing platform that's deployed in both public and private clouds. It comprises several components that function together to manage and control large multi-vendor hardware stacks of processing, storage, and networking resources across a data centre.

OpenStack uses pooled virtual resources to build, manage private and public clouds. It controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a data enter with common authentication mechanisms.
