What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud has the ability to host up and above 500 instances with latest storage, networking and operating systems. It is the only cloud with Mac instances and 400 Gbps Ethernet networking which makes it unique from other products.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Best part of Amazon EC2 is that it is available in almost all the geographical area covering regions and availability zones. High packet per second performance and low latency with enhanced networking makes it high speed cloud provider.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Amazon EC2 works like a charm. The only thing which I don't like is that if you forget to shutdown your instances when not in use - you are going to get charged. So be careful about it.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If your organisation is planning to migrate the networking services, data centre or planning to build application or UAT environments. Amazon AWS EC2 is one stop solution for it. Use it free with limited features after registering for self evaluation.
