Pricing

Offers 5 plans - Free and shared are best suited for Dev and QA. Basic, standard and premium are for production. Within plans based on the instance category price changes- the lowest configuration is Basic,1 core, 1.75 GB , 10 GB Storage - 56$ per month. Highest premium, 8 cores, 14 GB, 500 GB with the ability to run the WebAPPs in virtual network- 893$ per month.

Pricing Based on A and D series where D series are SSD based instances and faster processors for higher performance. In A series, the lowest configuration is 1 core, .75 GB, 19 GB storage - 15$ per month. Lowest in D series is 1 core, 3.5 GB, 50 GB - 127$ per month. Highest in D series - 16 cores, 112GB, 800 GB storage - 1,943$ per month

Elastic bean stalk is free. You are charged for the resources you are provisioning.

Scalability Scale up without redeployment. Inbuilt Autoscale - Configure scaling based on load/time. It is Inbuilt azure Load balancer and Traffi c manager

Scale up needs redeployment. Autoscale is integrated but instances has to be attached to the availability set. It is Inbuilt azure Load balancer and Traffi c manager

Can be configured to be load balanced by ELB and autoscaled by autoscalegroup.

Network Security

Can be a part of VNET. But that is available only in the premium plan. Other services can be integrated to services which are as a part of VNET. SSL connections can be setup. Can be a part of VNET Can be a part of VPC

ManaegailityAlmost zero effort management Minimum managebility required

Security patches on running instances has to be manual and upgrades to newer AMI is manual

RDS


Azure vs AWS RDBMS

SQL Azure SQL RDS

Cost

There are three tiers with various performance levels in each tier. Standard and premium are typically suited for production environment.

The price ranges from 15$ per month for medium performance to 7000$ and 3720$ per month for highest and next best performance. General data transfer rates apply

Express, Web, Standard and Enterprise editions are supported. BYOL is also supported. Standard with multi AZ development is minimally required for production. Price of the same ranges from 1.310$ per hour (1 vcpu, 3.75GB, moderate performance) to $6.040 per hour (8 vcpu, 61 GB, High network performance) . These pricing are ondemand and reserved will be cheaper. You are also charged for data transfer out from RDS to internet and another region.

Size limitation limited to 500 gb 1 TB

Failover Built with in built fault tolerance and redundancy Supports Multi AZ FailoverAvailability 99.99% 99.95% for Multi-AZ instancesPerformance Performance is predictable based on plan Performance is non predictableNetwork security Cannot be a part of VNET Can be a part of VPC

Developer OptionSQL Azure is a subset of full SQL server and hence has few feature limitations No limitation from development features
