A cloud server that can be used in many ways

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?

Using Amazon EC2 you can obtain and start a virtual server with just a few clicks in the browser console. After building a virtual server, you can change the instance type (specifications). A security group (firewall) that allows secure communication. A security that allows you to attach permissions with an IAM role without using an IAM user. Although it is a bit outside the EC2 role, flexible resource scaling through automatic scaling is combined with ELB/TG.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The work can be done in the same environment anytime and anywhere, which makes it ideal for remote work. You can choose the CPU, GPU, capacity, and price range you prefer. As there is no limit on the number of instances, you can use different instances according to the content. We have been able to build an environment that can be accessed from anywhere today when remote work is an important part of our lives. In addition, since it is possible to build a standalone server, the impact range is small, which helps reduce testing hours. impact range is small, which helps reduce testing hours.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Some specifications cannot be dealt with if they are not known. It is difficult to use intuitively around server security. I won't go into details, but if you are using the t-series instance type for production, the response may be poor, etc.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Since the virtual server can be started immediately at the time the system is built, application development can be started earlier, and since discarding and the building is easy, experiments can be run as many times as needed, so you can focus on what you need, such as business requirements.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
