About Cloud Equivalents and how mappings are verified

Cloud Equivalents is an open-source study guide that maps cloud services between providers, with every claim tied to official documentation.

Verification policy

Each mapping cites official AWS and Microsoft documentation, and the comparison is checked against those pages on the "Last verified" date.
Lifecycle states (preview, maintenance, sunset, deprecated, retired) come from the vendors' own lifecycle and retirement pages.
Prices are never quoted. Pages describe the pricing model and link to the official pricing page.
Anything that could not be confirmed is listed under "Verification notes" on that page rather than stated as fact.
"No equivalent" is used when a provider has no first-party service. The closest alternatives are listed instead.

Match levels

Direct match: Direct equivalent with comparable scope.
Partial match: Overlapping but different scope, maturity or packaging.
No equivalent: No first-party equivalent; alternatives listed.
