Hints
- 💡Focus on differentiators, not features.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- ⚠️Failing to provide high-level, strategic differentiators and instead focusing on generic descriptions or listing services without highlighting unique strengths.
- ⚠️Exhibiting strong bias towards one cloud provider, rather than offering a balanced and objective comparison of all three.
- ⚠️Ignoring the context of an organization's existing technology stack, especially for Azure's integration with the Microsoft ecosystem.
- ⚠️Over-focusing on pricing models as the sole differentiator, when architectural fit and existing investments are often more critical.
- ⚠️Not acknowledging the continuous evolution and convergence of cloud services, implying static differences that may quickly become outdated.
