Adobe Experience Platform multi-cloud overview

Adobe Experience Platform is a multi-cloud product, giving you the choice between running on Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services (AWS). This flexibility allows you to choose the best fit for your business and technical requirements.

This page provides a high-level overview of the two available cloud infrastructures and includes guidance on how to choose the right one for your business.

Which cloud implementation is right for me?

Choosing between Experience Platform on Azure or AWS depends on several factors specific to your business:

• Business and technical needs: Assess your organization’s requirements and long-term cloud strategy.
• Existing infrastructure: Consider your current cloud infrastructure and integration needs.
• Cloud technology reliance: If your business relies heavily on Microsoft technologies, Azure might be the better fit. If you rely more on Amazon services, AWS could be the better option.
• Data residency considerations: Evaluate the data residency requirements for your organization and ensure the chosen cloud platform offers regions that comply with these regulations.

Considering the factors above, use this simplified decision tree to help decide on the right cloud implementation for your business needs.
