Reliability and downtime
When choosing a cloud provider, reliability is a crucial factor. Even with AWS, the leading provider, there have been complaints and concerns about outages and service interruptions. Picking a new provider without a track record makes it difficult to assess their availability. AWS is known for its rapid provisioning, making it easy to spin up resources quickly.
