This session helps Azure practitioners quickly understand AWS by translating familiar Azure fundamentals into their AWS equivalents using clear language and simple comparisons. Although both clouds share the same core building blocks for compute storage networking identity and databases, they use different names and organizing principles that can be confusing at first glance. Attendees learn how Azure Virtual Machines relate to AWS EC2 how Azure Functions map to AWS Lambda how Azure Blob Storage aligns with Amazon S3 and how Azure Disk Storage compares to Amazon EBS.

The session also explains database parallels such as Azure SQL Database and Amazon RDS as well as Cosmos DB and DynamoDB. By the end participants will be able to navigate AWS using their existing Azure mental model understand where the two platforms mirror each other and apply practical examples that make multicloud work feel far less intimidating.

This session requires no special technical setup and can be delivered with or without live cloud examples using free tier AWS resources or an Azure subscription for comparison. It is designed for Azure engineers multicloud curious practitioners' solution architects and technical sellers who increasingly interact with AWS environments.
