Comparison of OCI Cloud Shell and AWS CloudShell

2

first of all

In the previous article, we gave you an overview of OCI Cloud Shell.

At the end of 2020, a service called "AWS CloudShell" was released. It offers similar functionality to OCI Cloud Shell, but what is the difference between OCI Cloud Shell and AWS CloudShell? Let's compare the differences between the two. (It's easy to overlook, but AWS's "CloudShell" has no space.) )

First, the comparison of the exterior is as follows.

AWS CloudShell is available only in some, but not all, Regions. If you switch to an unavailable region before launching CloudShell, for example, if you change from Tokyo to Osaka, the CloudShell icon in the top menu bar will be hidden. After launching CloudShell from an available region, the unavailable regions are grayed out in the menu.

OCI provides far more permanent storage (under the home) than AWS. You can also use drag and drop to upload multiple files at once. This is a very useful feature.
