What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?

I will directly compare AWS with the previous product my company was using GCP. I personally prefer AWS over GCP is because in comparison with gcp aws has a lot to offer as in terms of features and services. It is robust,secure and as a NodeJs developer me and my team have achieved more scalablity by integrating AWS to our project.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

According to me the best feature is the AWS Ec2 servers, because of there secure and agile in nature, we can order ec2 accoring to our requirement at any time and you can scale upward and downscale the server at any time this is probably the best feature of AWS

What do you dislike most about this product?

Using AWS requires strong cloud and IT knowledge hence using it directly can be very hard. but the best part is there are many ways to train yourself

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I will highly recommend to use AWS over any cloud services because they provides a range of features or technologies and to be particular there on demands servers are the best in business. JUST GO FOR IT!
