What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?
Its really easy to setup and configure, you can change instance type on the go without much effort. Very secure as one needs .pem file to access it or console access at least.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Scalability and integration with other applications from AWS ecosystem like lambda, s3 and more are my favourite aspects plus we can increase EBS volume attached to instance on the go without much hassle
What do you dislike most about this product?
The AWS ec2 console can be a little difficult to navigate for first time users as there are many options, aws ec2 can give a small chatbot on the screen introducing all the feature and configurations
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
not much AWS has done a great job with ec2, they can add a small chatbot dialog directly taking users to necessary documentations that will be helpful
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Reliable
- Trustworthy
