The reason for choosing AWS lies in its adoption. It is the hosting vendor with, by far, the biggest user-base. If we’d have to place a blind bet on your choice, it would be AWS solely because that is statistically the most likely choice. We could not explore all the options in a single chapter. If we are to go through all hosting vendors and different projects that might help with the installation, we’d need to dedicate a whole course to that.
