So how do the components of the data warehouse map to the various services and products that are offered by the three most popular cloud platforms: Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Amazon AWS?

The table below makes it easy to map the various cloud services against the big data warehouse architecture. I have also included a column that lists some open source components to make it easier to compare. Please note that this list is by no means exhaustive, as there are literally hundreds of open source tools that do similar things. I have just listed those that I have had some exposure to.
