High-performance, stable web storage
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?
As storage, it is secure and economical, or it can handle processing that requires high performance, and careful selection and configuration is possible. It is an essential function that forms the core of the cloud along with EC2. The price and performance automatically change according to the access frequency so that it can choose content and variety according to the user. including starting and stopping service usage, almost no costs were wasted in development and operation.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Alternatively, to the existing file server, you can transfer and operate many material data files to the cloud side. High security and file transfer performance make file uploading and downloading very easy. Access is easy. You can connect to the S3 server with the issued API key and control file uploading from the program. You can also log into the WEB console and check the uploaded files on the browser. Rich libraries and SDKs are provided for multiple languages such as Java, PHP, Perl and GO, making it ideal for project development work. We can build and operate reliable web applications.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The data is stored using the AWS server to reduce the database capacity on site. I am relieved that, usually, the operation runs smoothly. Still, in an emergency, when the AWS server or network is congested or fails, I cannot load data, and I am worried that the operation will stop. It would be beneficial if there were some temporary emergency mechanisms on the AWS server side to prepare for that time.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
From what kind of service should be configured for the cloud, by considering the contents of the introduction, you can organize the required specifications for storage and judge whether the AWS service is helpful. I am sure you will get the performance you expect. Specifically, the local server service was first reconfigured using Docker, etc., the application part was operated on EC2, and the storage part was operated via containers using S3. We created a mechanism to synchronize and compare internal data in a reasonably short period. Since the user can easily control S3 (and EC2),
