One of my favorite resources is https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/

It's a rich set of articles about various system design patterns. It's not even really set in the context of Azure, it's just plain "Here are things you should learn about". It's really well done.

I haven't seen anything close from Google or Amazon.

That certainly covers operations in AWS, but take a look at the azure docs for cloud design patterns: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/patterns...

For example, read Bulkhead, Circuit-Breaker, Queue-based load leveling, sharding. The level of detail around why you might want to do it this way is fantastic. AWS whitepapers and best practices never really get into the why, they just focus on the what.
