How these alternatives were chosen
Tools Microsoft Azure names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in Hosting. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
Microsoft Azure also lists AWS, Google Cloud Platform, IBM Cloud as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
