Amazon EC2 virtual machines are incredibly useful and serves the need of virtual machines needed by different organisations over cloud. Steps to setup EC2 machines are simple and fast. GUI is also great and not complex.

Scalable and flexible cloud computing service

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

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
