## AWS OpsWorks Reviews
  ### 1. Can be more enterprise focused

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Capital Markets | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 29, 2018

**What do you like best about AWS OpsWorks?**

I like not having to manage chef server myself and underlying OS

**What do you dislike about AWS OpsWorks?**

I have several security requirements I must have installed on any EC2 instances I run in my VPC.  OpsWorks removes all of these installs every time amazon does an update of the underlying OS.  This requires me to re-install my required software.

**What problems is AWS OpsWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helps to install middleware and hardening on the rest of my EC2 resources.
