Powerful Cloud Computing with Amazon EC2

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?

This Virtual Machine Software is a powerful cloud computing solution that offers users an extensive range of services. This includes running applications, developing websites, deploying databases and more. It provides users with the ability to quickly build and deploy infrastructure without ever having to manage hardware or install software. This makes it much easier for businesses to access the resources they need without having to endure the cost and complexity of purchasing, leasing and managing physical servers.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of Amazon EC2 is the flexibility it offers. It allows me to quickly and easily spin up virtual machines for whatever purpose I need, whether that’s hosting a website, running an application, or testing software. With just a few clicks in the AWS console, I can have my own cloud environment running with no upfront investment.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Setting up DNS records is really difficult when you stop and restart an instance on EC2 since the IP address is continuously changing. Although there is an elastic IP strategy that will stop this, I think they should provide it by default at the same price as an instance.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The capacity to automatically scale both vertically and horizontally using settings or alerts. Hundreds of instances may be easily managed from a single dashboard when the application is under heavy load. Additionally, it is quite simple to version and develop templates to automate the generation of these resources, and there are always ways to check on their health and even prevent keeping instances running that don't contribute to the company's bottom line.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Enables Productivity
