Amazon runs one of the largest public cloud computing platforms, a natural outcome of the server and data center infrastructure needed to run a huge general variety online store. Amazon Web Services was officially launched in 2006.
Amazon Web Services offers online services, mostly only directly to developers as compared to end-users. These online services provide functionality for third-party websites and applications to run in the cloud.
AWS claims to have a complete suite of products for any cloud-based solution.
Amazon Web Services' products are accessed through HTTP, using REST and SOAP protocols. AWS has nine regions around the world where its infrastructure is concentrated.
Amazon Web Services as one of the major public cloud players provides a viable alternative to traditional web hosting for many customers, but many also find more traditional web hosting better suited to their needs.
Control and transparency are two issues that come into play - one much smaller parallel perspective is how cloud email services offered by major providers did not stop businesses from maintaining their own mail servers in-house or from renting private mail servers.

Some major customers of Microsoft Windows Azure include Boeing, General Mills, Lockheed Martin and Travelocity.
Microsoft got into the public cloud computing business in 2010, 4 years after Amazon launched its own product.
Windows Azure is a cloud computing platform offered by Microsoft that has many notable IAAS (infrastructure as a service) and PAAS (platform as a service) services. Windows Azure supports many programming languages, tools and frameworks for developing and managing cloud-based applications and services. Windows Azure is supported by Microsoft's vast number of data centers around the world.
Microsoft Windows Azure enables developers to interact with its services using an API built on REST, HTTP and XML protocols.
As with any public cloud platform, there are issues of control and transparency for companies using these services. Also, currently cloud application developers experience a sort of vendor lock-in but open source cloud APIs are becoming increasingly popular.
In February 2013, a test conducted by Nasuni (a storage vendor that annually benchmarks cloud service providers) showed Microsoft Windows Azure outperforming Amazon Web Services but that AWS has the edge in handling extra-large storage volumes. Amazon Web Services leads the public cloud computing market but Microsoft Windows Azure is also trusted by many well-known companies.
