Amazon EC2 Reviews

Outstanding in terms of hosting and visual machines.

Comments: It's really responsive and there are variety of locations to choose from so, It's basically a best option among others considering the price we pay.

Pros:

AWS's EC2 service is truly excellent. We'll have thousands of applications and operating systems ready to install. It's simple to use when configuring DNS or managing ports. It's incredibly straightforward, thanks to their clean UI. When we install software from the EC2 marketplace, everything is essentially pre-configured. Backup is simple with snapshots, but it will cost you money. We can choose the operating system and get an estimate of how much we'll pay. This will avoid unexpected charges.

Cons:

When you stop and restart an instance on EC2, the IP address changes constantly, which makes setting up DNS records quite inconvenient. There is an elastic IP approach that will prevent such, but I believe they should supply it by default for the same cost of instance. Also, support is quite slow, and we must pay an additional fee for it.

Amazon EC2: What Made Cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service an Affordable Cloud Paradigm.

Comments: Great experience. Deploying various types of servers on EC2 virtual machines makes the realization of enterprise applications very simplified.

Pros:

I can't imagine not having Amazon EC2 for managing my development projects, server deployments, and research implementations. Amazon EC2 was the leader in IaaS since the cloud computing inception and it kept proliferating to support more and more cloud services from software services, to IoT, to machine learning, to databases, among many other. After initially setting the registration and authentication with a private/public key pair, creating and managing virtual machines is extremely simple with a streamlined web console. A mainly run my application and database servers on Linux VMs. Thanks to the free-tier in Amazon EC2 even my students can have the chance to inspect with cloud functionality and services using Amazon EC2. Very cost effective even with the paid tiers.

Cons:

Better support of secure data processing in the cloud could be an enhancement that Amazon can invest in. Homomorphic encryption techniques for secure processing of encrypted data is improving and Amazon can be leading the research efforts on this front. Moreover, hardware-based data privacy mechanisms such as those employing cryptographic coprocessors in the cloud can be also a track to invest in.

Worst Support

Comments: worst, billings all ways contentious, support is retarded.

Pros:

Nothing interesting, just the same old slugged things and keep changing.

Cons:

Horrible services, bad support, keeping charging when their instances not working properly.

Amazon Review

Comments: Good experience w little trouble. Will be using again in the future

Pros:

Accessibility, ease of use, all age friendly

Cons:

Not much to not like. Maybe color scheme could be different

Amazon EC2

Pros:

Amazon EC2 is one of the best web service for flexible cloud computing which supports the deploy of virtual machines so fast. Amazon EC2 download and upload speed is very fast along with secure and reliable in or out of network accessibility. In our office we use it as a VM for running different product on it.

Cons:

At first user can fell complex so learning to use Amazon EC2 can take some time but overall service is best.

Amazon EC2: Simplified Server Deployment in the Cloud

Comments: Can't imagine configuring all these server deployments and publishing them online to be used by clients instantaneously without the cloud IaaS services provided by Amazon EC2.

Pros:

I implemented several server scripts on EC2 Virtual Machines of the M4 instance profile. Using SSH and remote desktop it feels like working on a local server. Dynamic IP management makes advertising cloud servers to the outside world a very simplified task. I tested applications servers (Apache, Apache Tomcat, IIS, Glassfish, etc) on top of the EC2 cloud as well as database servers such as MySQL and DB2. The system is as "elastic" as advertised with a true pay-as-you-go model. That was the main inception behind realizing an actual "utility-computing" based cloud system by Amazon.

Cons:

The security configuration consisting of generating the private/public keys are not that simply packaged for the beginner developer. But many improvement have been made on this front by Amazon.

Amazon review

Pros:

Here it helps in the interactions with the machine for easy manipulation

Cons:

Since I have been using it I have not seen the difficulties about it

Amazon EC2

Pros:

Easy to launch instances with multiple configuration to select as per the need. Highly secured and ready to use within few mins. Only charged for the duration used.

Cons:

Costs vary as per the region you select to launch EC2 instance. This variation is very huge sometimes

A great tool for cloud computing

Comments: EC2 has accelerate our journey towards cloud computing by enabling us to provision and tear down infrastructure as needed.

Pros:

pay as you go pricing, High I/O and GPU compute based instances, Elastic IP addresses, Pause and resume instances

Cons:

AWS being leaders in cloud computing, don't see much missing features but they can improve on better training materials for beginners of EC2 service.

The best scalable & bill friendly cloud service.

Pros:

The very first thing which is best is the Pay-as-you-go billing system for EC2 such that even if the instance is made dormant for sometime it will not charge for its existence. On top of it it provides smooth scalability and easy integration with other AWS services.

Cons:

For new beginners in AWS there is a slight learning curve for AWS services including EC2. That is for user when they first start using EC2 it might be tough for them to know its uses or applications.

Top cloud service

Comments: We used Amazon EC2 to host an open source reporting tool and the experience was great. One issue we had was the instance always restarting which changes the IP address and ends up affecting our configuration. But overall the experience was great as soon as we got a hang of how to deploy and manage it.

Pros:

I like how very configurable Amazon EC2 is. This gives a user greater control and flexibility when deploying a workload. There are also excellent documentation that gives step by step instructions on how to deploy and configure your EC 2 instance.The customer support is also great from what I have experienced. I used a premium support so the experience may differ from those that are not using premium support.

Cons:

The downside to having all the control is that it can be very challenging and complex sometimes. The documentation is great but it can be sometimes hard to find content related to issues you are facing.

EC2 - the computing in cloud computing

Comments: I think EC2 was the first service we signed up for when we moved to AWS years ago. It was an eye-opening experience: we used to own hardware, and now we can just click buttons and make hardware appear? Insane. And yet, it worked. And still does. We have around 100 instances of varying sorts running at all times, most of them running either individual applications or (more recently) hosting a whole bunch of Docker containers via ECS. (This is the more powerful and better way to do things these days.) The other huge boon for us was when AWS announced their Application Load Balancer. What this allows you to do is inspect every request and route it to specific targets if the request meets certain criteria. Got a staging server at staging.example.com? Just add that route to your ALB, and send it to your staging machine. Done. It's so simple, but so powerful. Like much of AWS, the UI on EC2 has not quite kept up with the times. The almighty ALB, for instance, is hidden under a single small item in the left-nav, called "Load Balancers." Which is accurate, but doesn't exactly give them their due. Lots of other issues like that -- not always easy to find what you want to find, especially if you don't know exactly what you are looking for. But overall it's better than many other parts of AWS, so not complaining too much. If you're on AWS at all, you're likely using EC2 already. Definitely don't forget to integrate CloudWatch so you can easily get logging!

Pros:

* ALB is a game-changer for managing multiple websites * Instant scaling up if needed * Spawn as many servers or instances as you like, in whatever categories you like * Tag your instances to keep track of them

Cons:

* Spawning instances is so much fun -- but it gets expensive * The UI on huge services (like the ALB) is kind of crazy. Why is it hidden in the small left nav? * Navigating to the right instance is not always easy

Very good cloud service to host application servers!

Comments: Amazon EC2 has allowed us to host our application server very quickly and easily without worrying about the setup process and security measures, as it takes care of that. Amazon EC2 also has a lot of services for server monitoring and the ability to scale up or scale down servers when required which reduces operational costs as we only scale up when there is heavy load & scale down otherwise only paying for what we use. I am happy with Amazon EC2

Pros:

Amazon EC2 has a wide variety of instances with various operating systems and hardware options to choose from, this ensures that we are able to select the server we need and have to pay only for that which helps in cost saving. It has options to interact with the server via application libraries, command line terminal & its dashboard which helps in managing the server. Amazon AWS also has other products that integrate really well and easily with Amazon EC2 making it the go-to choice for hosting application servers.

Cons:

Amazon EC2 has a learning curve that a beginner may find difficult to grasp easily & quickly also its dashboard user interface is quite complex with a lot of options and it is easy for someone to get confused and overwhelmed by it.

Extensible with Plentiful Integrations

Comments: EC2 gives us the ability to automate a lot of our infrastructure installations. Along with the ability to bid on spot machines to make our server costs low.

Pros:

Amazon EC2 handles a lot of our server infrastructure and has in incredible amount of features to help deploy our products in a fast and scaleable fashion. Having integrations with other software allows us to use EC2 in an automated simple "key-turn" clusters.

Cons:

The thing a least like about EC2 is how rigid creating resources are. Editing things like machine sizes, flavors, and such is not as intuitive. Along with having different sections/consoles for managing instance configurations like networks or security groups.

Feedback

Comments: The value of the product is justified by the ease of use and performance. I would recommend this product for a firm more than 100 employees

Pros:

The cloud platform is worth the money and the ease of use need to be appreciated

Cons:

the user management and setup initially found to be tough but once used its looks perfect

Great cloud platform for virtualization

Pros:

- Easy to use and deployment- Easily install any OS in EC2 - Create budget alert- Amazon provide 1 year free tier for new year- EC2 provide good featue like auto scaling, load balancer and data backup- Transfer snapshot backup from one account to another account- Good customer support

Cons:

- EC2 is charges for data transfer- It's little bit complex to manager for new user

Great Cloud Virtualization software

Comments: Overall, Amazon EC2 is the best cloud computing software for virtualization. We can easily install any OS within one min and save our time. It's powerful cloud computing platform.

Pros:

- Very Easy to use and configuration- Amazon provide free tier for new user- You can easily real time monitor server - Easily take the data backup and recover- Good in auto scaling, load balancer

Cons:

- Complex to manage for new user- New UI is not good- Sometime can't find the oldest version OS

Best webservice solution for cloud compute capacity

Comments: We use Amazon EC2 to host our services on the cloud platform to ensure thay they are highly available and are scaled up or down automatically without worrying too much. We also use the Amazon S3 storage which is a great add on to use with the cloud compute platform.

Pros:

Amazon EC2 is a market leader in the cloud industry to provide compute capacity. You can host webservices on the Amazon EC2 cloud and pay as per what you use. It is the best solution as you don't have to think about maintaining servers and spend on web services hosting infrastructure. Also Amazon EC2 handles the security aspects of the hosted services via access controls. A lot of webservices written in different programming languages can be hosted on this platform.

Cons:

There are no limitations for this product. They are a market leader and their services are highly configurable.

Quick to use and cost efficient

Comments: Overall, Amazon EC2 gives us a cost-efficient method of deploying apps and services we need both for internal and customer-facing apps.

Pros:

I like the on-demand features of Amazon EC2. It's very easy to spin up a powerful VM, scale it up or down, and switch it off when not in use. It gives us a very easy way to provision computing capacity as our need comes.

Cons:

I think it'll be nice to have some VM operations to be doable in the AWS console, like installing SSH keys, etc. These are readily available in Google Cloud console, in comparison.

The most elastic platform available.

Comments: I never had problems with this platform, it is really very complete and useful, it has an extremely high level of security, it also integrates very easily and natively with other aws tools, it is a wonderful multipurpose tool, which can be used with or without the other tools of aws.

Pros:

This tool is extremely versatile, serves as a vps, and as a base instance for many other aws tools, it allows me to connect to external aws platforms simply, it has a high level of configuration, customization and security. I can specifically choose each hardware component that is needed according to the needs of the projects, and the platform is ready to use in a few minutes, in addition to having a very extensive configuration panel, with many configurations, in addition to a console, which allows Work through commands directly, without opening the instance, its download and upload speed is very high and quite stable.

Cons:

It is difficult for me to think of a negative aspect on this platform, however, what must be taken into account is that it is a fairly complete and complex tool to use, so the learning curve is quite steep.

Amazon Ec2 service is to create Instance on Amazon Cloud.

Pros:

There are following reason which i like most, 1. We can create multiple instance in same time with same configuration. 2. There is available all types of hardware where we can choose hardware as per our requirement. 3. we can take snapshot as per our requirement. 4. It is cost effective.

Cons:

As per my point of view, there is not any negative point.

Amazon EC2 expereince

Comments: The experience was awesome with ec2 , easy to use , must try.

Pros:

1. We can deploy web apps , backend etc easily 2. Easy to monitor and check status 3. options to stop , restart , delete etc.

Cons:

1. Need learn many things to work with like terminal interface , etc . 2. The cost is pricy and need to monitor it. 3. The UI can be improved and make it more user friendly.

EC2 makes it simple to spin up hardware on demand

Comments: Really it's difficult to remember a time before EC2, getting a new hardware instance was typically weeks or months of effort, now it can be done in seconds.

Pros:

I love how simple and quick it is to get instances up and running. With our AMIs I can spin up a new instance in a matter of seconds.

Cons:

Amazon has a massive feature set, but it is a little more technically focused than some of the competition, which can make the barrier to entry a little higher.

Great Service to Host Application Server on The Cloud

Comments: It works great for me and I will continue using Amazon EC2 Service.

Pros:

Amazon EC2 is a great service to host application servers on the cloud. It is my go-to Cloud Server Solution for a few years now. You can spin up a server almost instantly and you can select from a different variety of CPU Core, Memory, and Storage tire. You can also select from thousands of pre-loaded servers with many flavors of Linux and Windows OS. It's a very fast, secure, and reliable solution. It also supports load balancer, so you don't have to worry about your server resources during peak traffic season.

Cons:

It takes a while to navigate through the different aspects of the service and requires some technical knowledge. For deeper dive into the platform, there is a steep learning curve. Also, the pricing structure is a bit costly.

One of Best Cloud Service Provider

Pros:

This is a very secure, high performing and highly available server.

Cons:

Its UI is a bit confusing for the starters and updating the servers takes time as we need to apply every patch manually.
