Should You Choose Amazon AWS or Windows Azure for a Symfony Application?

Question

Network administration

The Symfony2 application runs on PHP 5.4 + MongoDB + RabbitMQ.
Which cloud service is better to choose? Didn't work with any of them. Perhaps there are any other options? Interested in cloud hosting for simple scaling.

Answer 1

If Azure allows you to install * nix (like yes), then for Symfony2, in fact, it doesn’t matter where you stand.
Perhaps there will be a difference in support by third-party libraries - for example, S3 is quite well supported by Symfony2 since beta, without a clue how Azure is doing.
But in general, you can choose according to personal preferences.
In my experience, AWS is more than satisfied, S3 integrates well.
