AWS, Azure, and Oracle Cloud : A comparative analysis of Open Ports

Cloud computing is rapidly transforming the IT landscape. Because of this rapid change and adoption it is crucial and necessary to acquire a deep understanding of the technical infrastructure and characteristics of the leading providers in this space. This research focuses on examining the most commonly used open ports in Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud in order to provide a detailed analysis of their technical infrastructure. By assessing open ports at both the provider level and across individual services such as EC2, S3 and Cosmos DB, this study aims to uncover different patterns in port use among these providers. By carrying out a detailed exploration of port configurations and usage, the research seeks to enhance the understanding of cloud infrastructure, offering important insights for stakeholders. The findings of this study can inform decisions and actions regarding cloud architecture, performance optimization, and security measures, in this way aiding in the effective and efficient adoption of cloud services.
