What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a fantastic cloud computing platform. Amazon EC2 can scale resources based on demand. It enables us to scale up or down based on the requirements of our application. Amazon EC2 provides a diverse set of Instance kinds. We can select the CPU, memory, and GPU based on our needs. It includes several examples of operating systems such as Linux, macOS, and Windows. It offers a CLI interface for accessing instances. It is simple to connect via SSH and manage the entire VPS server from our terminal. Amazon EC2 is extremely safe and dependable. For Amazon EC2 instances, it features a flexible pricing approach.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

For running software, EC2 offers the most dependable, fault-tolerant, scalable, and highly available cloud computing instances. One of the best features of EC2 is auto-scaling, which helps the company save money by scaling back resources when it's not in use and ramping them up when it is. In addition, a variety of EC2 instance types are accessible depending on computational requirements and spending limits.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The learning curve associated with AWS Cloud’s wide service offerings is one possible disadvantage. Furthermore, due to the complexity of pricing schemes, managing and optimizing expenses might be difficult.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

One of my favorite AWS services is EC2. The most useful feature for me is the SSM login via console and user-data feature. Its benefits include easy management via autoscaling groups, launch templates, target groups, and storage management via EBS and AMI. Service that is simple to utilize. I can easily manage server settings using launch templates and use these templates to run my servers.
