Choosing the best cloud for our business is very difficult. This is because each has its pros and cons. One important element to consider is also the CI/CD tools provided, which we can use to build and deploy solutions.

I recently prepared a summary of the 24 most popular CI/CD tools. The list is available on this page: Best CI/CD tools.

The list also includes 3 clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP), which I just want to compare in this article in the context of CI/CD.

AWS CodePipeline

AWS CodePipeline is a fully managed CI/CD service that helps automate release processes to update applications and infrastructure quickly and reliably. It is a service that takes advantage of Amazon AWS cloud advantages such as integration with other internal services or the ability to pay for the service only as long as you need it.

A guide on how to get started with AWS CodeBuild which is a component of CodePipeline can be found here: How to prepare your first CI project in AWS CodeBuild?

Azure Pipelines

Azure Pipelines is a CI/CD service managed within the Microsoft Azure cloud. It enables the creation of CI processes in the cloud for Linux, macOS and Windows. In addition, it supports the development of web, desktop as well as mobile applications.

GCP Cloud Build

GCP Cloud Build is a CI/CD service managed within the Google Cloud Platform cloud. It allows fast software development in all programming languages, including Java, Go, Node.js and others. In addition, it allows for deployment in multiple environments, such as virtual machines, Kubernetes or Firebase.
