Azure Cloud Services vs. Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform

I like the security provided by Microsoft Cloud Platform that gives us comfort that our Clouds data and applications are safe and secure with excellent backups and recovery capabilities and our entire organization depend on this platform for effective data migration. The system integrations with this platform are highly intuitive with the ease to customize its API and excellent performance monitoring capability to all our Clouds applications.

It's well-suited for being less bulky and is more manageable than other IBM products for Java applications. It's more scalable and provides broader features than others, and is able to load balance with better visibility. The "containers" within are lighter weight and thus don't consume as many resources as Websphere did.

• Azure excels in providing scalable infrastructure and services. For example, organizations can use Azure Virtual Machines to dynamically adjust computing resources based on demand.
• Azure's Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings, such as Azure App Service, empower developers to focus on building applications without dealing with the underlying infrastructure.
• Azure seamlessly integrates with on-premises environments, facilitating a hybrid cloud approach.
• Azure Functions allows organizations to execute code in a serverless environment, triggering functions in response to events without the need to provision or manage servers.

• JBoss deployment and configuration is easy and fast. This leads to lower cost and faster deliveries.
• Jboss gives you lot of flexibility around performance tuning options to better suite your application needs.
• It is modular and cloud ready. This can be installed on-premise and cloud with equal ease.
• I specifically love it's integration with mod_cluster. It is a smart httpd based load balancing component that listens to incoming requests on web server using httpd and then intelligently routes the request to Jboss hosts.

• Management activities related to team can be improved
• More customized reporting ability , bad documentation and support
• Pricing model is too complex

• Difficult to replicate configuration outside of a container environment
• Still requires quite a bit of knowledge of the CLI
• Integration with deployment tools requires CLI knowledge

We are planning to migrate away from Jboss to Tomcat as Jboss has shown not interest in supporting OSGi which is heavily used at our shop

As a certificate developer and consultant, I love using Azure, it's interface is developer friendly with well guidance and support. Also there are a lot of service for any work, Azure ecosystem is sufficient to complete your all developments needs. So based on that I feel Azure is good and gives better developer experience.

It's quite easy to learn and use. We have transitioned our Red Hat JBoss EAP set up to client team. They had no technical background of managing it but were quick to learn the product.

We run a high traffic B2B application on JBoss and it is very stable. Boot time when restarting services is also fast

Fast response.

I feel AWS offers a robust and versatile platform for cloud infrastructure and services. It's scalability, reliability array of tools make it a top choice for businesses of all sizes. AWS has better open source communities such as Linux, Jenkins and GitHub in comparison to Azure service cloud

WebSphere Application Server is propriety and increases project cost. It is slightly complicated to learn when compared to Jboss EAP. These were the two main reasons why we chose Red Hat JBoss EAP over WebSphere Application Server. Also, JBoss EAP is light weight and requires less server resource

• With help of Azure, our services uptime got increased be 99.8%
• We've removed on prem dependency by 86%
• Utilized Azure AI for building internal AI tools and managing million data in Cosmo DB

• Improved delivery timelines due to easy out of the box setup.
• It is a cheap subscription-based/open-source Java EE-based application server. This reduces the overall cost of delivery.
