Cloud Provider Equivalencies

Azure App Service is a managed platform for hosting web apps and APIs (PaaS). Comparable options include AWS Elastic Beanstalk and Google App Engine, which also manage infrastructure, scaling, and deployments for application runtimes. OCI does not have a single direct equivalent branded the same way; OCI commonly uses Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) or Compute for hosting apps, while APM is for monitoring rather than hosting.
