And Linux is the premier OS on Azure. I'll never stop getting a kick out of Azure Linux.

Yeah, but there's no reason to go Azure unless you are really tied to the MS Windows ecosystem.

If there's choice, everyone goes with Linux servers.

We chose Azure for our startup because of data location, and it was cheaper than the other two as well. Data center locations may not matter much in the US (because everyone has this covered well), but it does in other places of the world.

Can't reply to @shorel, but of course Azure is running Linux servers. It has nothing to do with being tied to a Windows ecosystem.

Your choice to go with Azure probably has more to do with where you're getting value for cloud services, and where you started your project - in other words, how tied you are to the Azure ecosystem, or the AWS ecosystem as the case may be.
