"All About AWS EC2"
What do you like best about Amazon EC2?

Of course, AWS is one of the most popular and oldest cloud service providers. Its customer care support is amazing, and features like auto-scaling with multiple OS support are perfect. It's easy to use and maintain. I can also use Elastic IPs and AWS Fleet and pause and resume instances whenever I want. It's also easy to implement as compared to GCP. I use it daily in my organization. It's easy to integrate with other AWS services too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon EC2?

It's good, but I still prefer Azure for machine learning support. AWS is improving, but still, AWS is a little ahead in machine learning support.

Also, the Interface of Azure is much more modern than AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Infrastructure Management with AWS EC2 Instances"
What do you like best about Amazon EC2?

I find the most impressive in Amazon EC2 versatility which in simple terms means that while selecting the type of server to provision I can do so in a manner that will meet the need of a specific application. Its offering of instance types and purchasing models range is vast enough to offer the right combination for maximizing the performance WITHOUT compromising the costs. Further, interoperability with other AWS services is well-developed which results in the optimization of work and efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon EC2?

My problem with Amazon is that it seems hard to avoid complex management, particularly for big deployments that include many instance types and configurations. Monitoring and management tools from Amazon Web Services (AWS) are strong but can be difficult to understand for people who are just starting out. Moreover, without proper instance optimization and management, these instances may lead to high spending levels thereby necessitating close supervision and optimization efforts.
