"Great AWS Option"
4/5
What do you like best about Amazon Linux 2?

Good choice for developers, and comes with preconfigured AWS CLI tools which makes it extremely easy to streamline deploying applications within the cloud. Fairly decent performance, as to be expected by Amazon. It is also free to use beyond the AWS charges, so its a great option compared to other distributions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Linux 2?

Fairly limited outside of AWS. It can be used on a virtual machine, but its best used on a dedicated AWS machine. If you're using a service other than AWS it wouldn't be my pick. Maybe difficult to implement for some users, due to the small community of users when compared to Ubuntu or Fedora. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
