You can't deny that the two horses in the cloud race are Amazon's AWS and Microsoft's Azure, with AWS significantly out in front.  But is there that huge a difference between the two?  In this episode Jim and Alan sit down with Stefan Bauer, MIS Manager for Elephant Auto insurance who is responsible for their data warehousing and business intelligence both on-prem and in-cloud.  Stefan is a veteran of both Azure and AWS architectures (having previously authored a book on AWS RedShift).  Stefan discusses both cloud offerings, dispelling some myths along the way.
