Azure came to the table with a ton of resources to help architect the best solution for our Product.  Wow!

Azure has amazing enterprise focus where they wont overlap or eat into the business of a customer.

GCP all the way if you have the right engineering talent to drive it. So many boxes we have to check for due diligence, compliance, and audits are handled by default behind the scenes. 

Everything is encrypted natively at rest; they run on their own fiber, etc, etc.

Microsoft Azure due to a solid integration with M/D365 services and, probably most importantly, because our teams have very strong expertise with these platforms and technologies.

Historically, we ran WSO2 and BizTalk, tightly integrated with most of our systems. Recently we’ve shifted to Google Cloud Platform and we already replaced WSO2 with Apigee as our API management layer. Now that BizTalk is approaching retirement, we want to replace it as well – but we’re trying to determine the best approach in a GCP-centric architecture. A few questions for the group: Can we leverage Apigee capabilities to cover most (or all) of BizTalk’s integration/orchestration responsibilities? Or would you strongly recommend adopting an iPaaS to replace BizTalk’s integration workflows? Has anyone successfully implemented an alternative approach on GCP (other than iPaaS) that worked well in practice? If you have gone through this migration, what direction and reference architecture would you recommend? I would be very interested in hearing what you have implemented and what has worked well (or not well) in the real world. Thanks in advance!

How long does your organization retain original systems logs used to filter SOX-related actions into a system that requires review of the logs and retains the filtered logs for seven years? Does your organization consider those original system logs records subject to record retention requirements, or supporting information used to create the SOX records?
