SSM allows us to manage servers and jobs at massive scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is difficult to re-run a failed job. It requires that the job be re-instantiated, which is difficult when iterating rapidly in sandbox-type scenarios. Also, I wish there was a way to run a job on a set number or percentage of servers that match a set of tags. The use case is running a job that needs to run only once and with auto-scaling there may be many servers running at one time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EC2 lets us scale to use and pay for just he compute power we need. We saved over 60% compared to hosting our own equipment in a data center. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much to dislike. Some extra steps are needed for on-the-road remote access unless you have a VPN solution. Still, better than the alternatives! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the integration found between run command, automations, maintenance windows, and parameter store. I have found these components work well together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User interface in the aws console is awful servers cannot be sorted by name when servers are sorted only 1 server's information can then be viewed logs do not sort easily 10 items per page limit adds unneeded frustration. Please redesign the UI to reduce the number of clicks to get information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We used to have in house scripts used to run short CLI commands across a large number of instances. RunCommand gives us the capability to manage, throttle, and audit exactly how that particular script runs which makes it very powerful and useful. The sessions manager also gives us the ability to remove SSH access to our instances and use sesions manager instead Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I know that new features are still being added but I wish I could more seamlessly use the AWS SSM to reconnect to existing sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EC2 allows us to not have to worry about the datacenter side of our infrastructure. It makes things much easier to scale and allows us to provide better support to our developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EC2 definitely takes some time to get used to after having had physical access to the equipment itself.. The dashboard is easy to use but has many options that sometimes can confuse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of deploying servers and being able to back them up. There is minimal latency and it really helps us to stand up new services and test applications on the fly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isnt anything in particular that I can think of that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Works like Puppet/Chef -remote control of system by allowing tasks to be done for on-premise and hosted servers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learning curve, not all system types supported, some templated wizards for common tasks would be good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

scalability and ability to spin up easily is aplus and abolity to use only when needed is a huige infrastructiure help. The fact that we don't have tp purchase servers is aplus to company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

cost increses and adds up before you realize. Warning and heads up will help, abilituy to see what the useage is and then able to scale wil lhelp Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Convenience of tools for imaging, spectrum of sizes to choose from, ease of changing hardware spec on the fly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The console interface is very restrictive. It is difficult to switch between regions for easily managing multiple environments. There is no way to recover from hardware "faults" that may occur on start-up, requiring a very expensive process to recover machines that may only need to do a quick fsck scan, for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to manage EC2 through API, but also the capabilities in the UI to deploy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of configuring options in the UI when displaying Instances. For example, being able to display and sort on IP address (public and private) when dealing with a large list of Instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
