High-performance, stable web storage
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?
As storage, it is secure and economical, or it can handle processing that requires high performance, and careful selection and configuration is possible. It is an essential function that forms the core of the cloud along with EC2. The price and performance automatically change according to the access frequency so that it can choose content and variety according to the user. including starting and stopping service usage, almost no costs were wasted in development and operation.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Alternatively, to the existing file server, you can transfer and operate many material data files to the cloud side. High security and file transfer performance make file uploading and downloading very easy. Access is easy. You can connect to the S3 server with the issued API key and control file uploading from the program. You can also log into the WEB console and check the uploaded files on the browser. Rich libraries and SDKs are provided for multiple languages such as Java, PHP, Perl and GO, making it ideal for project development work. We can build and operate reliable web applications.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The data is stored using the AWS server to reduce the database capacity on site. I am relieved that, usually, the operation runs smoothly. Still, in an emergency, when the AWS server or network is congested or fails, I cannot load data, and I am worried that the operation will stop. It would be beneficial if there were some temporary emergency mechanisms on the AWS server side to prepare for that time.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
From what kind of service should be configured for the cloud, by considering the contents of the introduction, you can organize the required specifications for storage and judge whether the AWS service is helpful. I am sure you will get the performance you expect. Specifically, the local server service was first reconfigured using Docker, etc., the application part was operated on EC2, and the storage part was operated via containers using S3. We created a mechanism to synchronize and compare internal data in a reasonably short period. Since the user can easily control S3 (and EC2),

Scalable and flexible cloud computing service
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?
Provides the ability to create Auto Scaling Groups, which are groups of server instances that automatically adjust to handle variations in workload. You can configure Auto Scaling to automatically add or remove server instances in response to user demand. This helps ensure that your game servers are always available and can handle the workload, even during times of high demand.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Scalability is an essential feature for any online game, as user demand can vary greatly at different times of the day or at different times of the year. With Amazon EC2, you can quickly and easily scale your gaming infrastructure to meet user demand. You can add or remove server instances as needed, allowing you to adjust the capacity of your infrastructure in real-time. Additionally, Amazon EC2 offers several scalability options to suit your specific needs.
What do you dislike most about this product?
In terms of costs, high availability on Amazon EC2 can incur additional costs. Although Amazon EC2 offers multiple availability zones and load-balancing options to ensure high availability, these services may incur additional costs. For example, when using multiple Availability Zones to ensure the continuous availability of your game servers, you will need to pay for the use of server instances in each of those zones. In addition, the use of load balancing options can also generate additional costs for the use of network resources and the implementation of additional services for load distribution.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Carefully plan your application architecture. Before deploying your game servers on Amazon EC2, it's important to carefully plan your application architecture. Consider factors such as server size, expected traffic, and high availability to ensure an efficient and cost-effective implementation.

- Continually Improving Product
- Effective Service
