What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?
The Amazon EC2 makes much differentiate when it comes to pricing which is so efficient compared to other instances or servers not only that it takes less than 1 minute to create instance in which ever region u want which is so fantastic and its security is so good that it uses different protocols to connect the ec2 instance .
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The favourite thing is Previously we have taken approx 3 to 4 weeks some times months to create production ready server but after when aws ec2 has been launched with in minutes or less than that we can make production ready server which is so great and moreover you can create EC2 instance in many regions. The time to create instance is so less which saves so much time .
What do you dislike most about this product?
It will charge for every thing you choose in the options and sometimes if we want migrate to cloud it will lead to some problems like server down and instance errors which takes more time to fix .
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
This is the great product for people who thinking move to cloud platform but you should be really have a knowledge of pricing of aws ec2 which saves more if You know more if not it may lead to higher pricing. Mainly this works on pay for what you use which saves your money so much.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Trustworthy
- Saves Time
