<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
My company has Azure but has decided for pricing reasons that they think AWS is cheaper than Azure.<br />
<br />
Regardless of that now i am being told we should go to Maria DB within AWS versus MS SQL as that is also cheaper.<br />
<br />
is this true. &nbsp;I am having a hard time finding anything online to back up this factually.<br />
<br />
I would be looking at utlizing the database as a service.<br />
<br />
I would also need the ability to be on prem and in the cloud as well if needed.<br />
<br />
I am a .net developer too so I need to be able to develop this locally......so my appication can work in IIS but also be deployed as a Docker Container. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I am nto sure in the case of AWS if my database needs to be in a docker container or not.<br />
<br />
Experts please help.
