Amazon Linux 2 Reviews & Product Details

There are few points that make AWS Linux 2 VMs my go-to choice

- AWS provides maintenance and security patches automatically

- Admin can set the downtime window and patching will be applied automatically at the time

- They have longer term support (LTS) viz-a-viz then normal linux flavours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can connect this OS with an instance and also with various other AWS Services like S3 etc. We can run this server 24 hours without any maintenance and charges are very reasonable and cheap as compared to other cloud services. We can also monitor this OS with AWS Cloud Watch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon Linux 2 don't have any significant issues or problems. The main concern using Amazon Linux 2 is that if you execute any wrong command or change any settings that effected your server then you have to fix that yourself.
