What I like best about Amazon EC2 is how easy it is to use and implement, even at scale. Spinning up instances is quick, and the setup process is straightforward with good documentation and tooling. We use EC2 very frequently for day-to-day workloads, and the large number of instance types and features gives us flexibility for almost any use case. It integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, which simplifies networking, storage, and security, and AWS customer support is reliable when help is needed.

One thing I dislike about Amazon EC2 is the complexity that comes with its flexibility. With so many instance types, pricing models, and configuration options, it can be overwhelming and easy to misconfigure or overspend. Cost visibility and optimization also require extra effort and tooling. Additionally, managing EC2 at scale often means relying on multiple supporting services, which increases operational overhead.
