OCI Cloud Shell vs AWS CloudShell

Introduction

In my previous blog, I gave you a brief Introduction of OCI Cloud Shell .

AWS released their own service, "AWS CloudShell"a little later, which provides similar function as OCI Cloud Shell. Now let's take a look at the difference between OCI Cloud shell and AWS CloudShell. (There is no space in word "CloudShell". )

At first, comparison of appearance is as following.

OCI Cloud Shell


AWS CloudShell


AWS CloudShell is not available in all regions. So when you change to a not supported region before launching CloudShell, for example, changing from Tokyo to Osaka, you will find that the CloudShell icon on the top menu bar is hidden. After la available region, unavailable regions on menu are grayed out.

OCI provide much more storage under home directory than AWS. And you can upload multiple files to Cloud Shell using drag and drop, that is a very handy function.
