AWS offers various business services, such as EC2, RDS, Lamda, and others, that are valuable for our needs and enable us to run the website smoothly. The AWS support service is also excellent; they provide many levels of assistance, including developer support, business-level support, and even premium support; all support options are amazing.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
In the data storage market, Amazon Web Services is dependable. All key compliance certificates have been obtained. It's simple to use, quick to get started, and pretty clear about what you're doing with the solution. The foundational infrastructure's dependability and scalability. Very cost-effective, dependable, and the best on the market. Static webpages can also be deployed.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There is a lack of a reliable plan and information on the service's carbon footprint. The number of loops and workarounds you'll have to go through if you wish to keep some infrastructure on-site is incredibly frustrating. Also, sometimes the documentation isn't up to par, and it's always a dull experience.

AWS That Is Constantly Working.
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?
It offers enterprises cloud storage that is both efficient and affordable, and it can be accessed quickly and easily from any location. It is unparalleled in terms of providing computer services on demand. It expedites and simplifies the process of migrating any current apps to run on the cloud. In addition to that, it offers domain registration tailored specifically to my company. I lost money due to AWS's system, methods, and people, yet they did not accept responsibility for their conduct. They froze my account because I was two dollars behind on a payment. I'm going to share the ludicrous conditions with you because they deserve it.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The process of developing, deploying, and testing an application is all made easier with the help of the many tools offered by AWS. Products such as IoT Core, Lambda, Kinesis, EKS, S3, Device Farm, EC2, and RDS, amongst others, are what enable us to rapidly construct microservices without having to spend time on the infrastructure of servers. Along with notifying on the threshold, please provide details on the consumption bill.
What do you dislike most about this product?
We have built some servers, but they are not being used for their intended purpose because AWS charges so much. It can be difficult to use corporate applications with AWS, such as Oracle ERP, because the AWS manager may forget to deactivate or upgrade certain services.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
AWS is an excellent platform for providing PAAS and IAAS capabilities. It is possible to use it extremely effectively for containerization by utilizing services such as EKS and ECS. If you have transient workloads and need to deploy rapidly, then this is a very appropriate use case because it is very efficient at managing volumes of unstructured data in terms of storage and retrieval using DynamoDB and other tools.
Pros
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy
- Inspires Innovation
- Caring
