Amazon EC2

Avantages

I like EC2 for the features like i can create instance of any OS (Windows, Linux) more over it gives you a one year free trial and you can use it from you local machine connecting through many sources i usually used the putty

Inconvénients

the one thing that i like the least about EC2 is that machine you get with free trial is very basic and slow so if you need a free trail and you want to test your script od piece of software that is a bit more resources consuming you may not be able to use it

Avantages

It made my backend very easy to scale and highly available without lagging.

Inconvénients

It was not beginner friendly had many complex terminology.

Avantages

EC2 is so easy to set up. It doesn't require any thought to what is happening "behind the scenes".

Inconvénients

It doesn't require any thought to what is happening "behind the scenes". When something breaks, you're on your own (without a minimum $2,000/mo support contract). AWS slowly increase the cost of associated tech with no way to understand why.

Avantages

The thing I liked about EC2 is I can get any operating system image to run my projects. Also without worrying about cpu load I can get as high specifications as I want

Inconvénients

The UI is little complex as I get to any options when I was just learning it got me too much confused.

Avantages

Easy to set up both manually and scripted, with a very wide variety of machine types so you can select the most cost-effective machines for your different needs. It's hosted on one of the most popular cloud platforms there are so expect to get high-quality infrastructure for a fair cost.

Inconvénients

Permissions are complicated to set up, and load balancing is rather costly. Also, changing instance type requires a restart which is less than optimal.

Pourquoi passer à Amazon EC2

Avantages

Server setup is so easy with this and also my website response is better with better with large services.

Inconvénients

Its little bit costly for managing different servers.

Avantages

Amazon EC2 offers scalable, on-demand computing power with flexible instance types, making it easy to tailor resources to workloads efficiently.

Inconvénients

Amazon EC2's pricing can be complex, and managing instances effectively requires careful monitoring to avoid unexpected costs.

Avantages

Scaling up and down the instances of EC2 can be really easy task which can can be cost effective.
Best part about it is its ability to turn on or off the instances with just one click.

Inconvénients

It requires some bit of technical expertise to work with EC2 and we have to apply patches and security updates on regularly.

Avantages

The biggest pro about using EC2 is that it is auto-scaling. So this allows for the most cost-efficient solution currently in my situation and allows for the ramp up in resources when necessary as well.

Inconvénients

No cons about Amazon EC2, it is great and reliable for my use case.

Avantages

The ease of being able to spin up a server with a few clicks and under 5 minutes puts Amazon EC2 as the go to instance during testing and deployment of an application. You can basically scale horizontally or vertically as required which is more preferable when compared to on prem

Inconvénients

You need to be well vast in computer security and a few basic concepts about a server to be able to properly configure the instance. Else, you run the risk of exposing your data if not setup correctly

Avantages

Easy to spin up a cloud server either Linux or Windows OS on the go.

Inconvénients

The cost of running an EC2 instance is too expensive, and Switching between different zones like US-East-1, US-East-2 and US-West-1 , US-West-2 can be confusing.

Avantages

I like the way EC2 provide flexibility to choose different kind of instances based on the requirement. It also provide flexibility to configure it as well as take it down automatically based on need

Inconvénients

I can't think of anything which I don't like

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

The entire process was very simple, required a few steps. The documentation was straight to the point.

Inconvénients

I used the trial version but the price was a bit scary. There was no free credit as with GCP. The pros outweighed the cons

Avantages

I liked Elastice Load Balancer the most cause if there an issue with server the ELB takes care of Auto scaling the server.

Inconvénients

There is as such no thing that I least liked I genuinely like EC2 that why I use it myself and also in my company.

Avantages

We like how quick it is to setup and clone instances with EC2. When doing development it is fairly easy to spin up test instances for little cost. Speaking of cost, since EC2 has so many options/tiers it is quite simple to choose a plan/tier that minimizes our costs but maximizes our output. The security aspect of EC2 is also very intuitive requiring that we have keys to access any particular server. This is an upgrade compared to when we had everything locally.

Inconvénients

This is not built out of the box but we have had the situation come up where we wanted to start and stop an instance on a schedule. EC2 does not have a built in solution to handle both of these steps. Although I mentioned the flexibility of the configurations, the cost still is quite high especially coming from a local solution. However from our perspective it was worth it for the other features it provides.

Avantages

My virtual machine was always up, like I've never seen it ran out or restart or anything. It was always running which is what I was looking for in a server, Consistency.

Inconvénients

The Amazon AWS platform is too confusing, like they think you have to be an Amazon employee to understand the interface, too many buttons, too much information that I (as a marketing professional) don't need to know or I won't ever use. They really need to work on a simple platform for people who are not an engineer and let us just choose a simple plan and go with it.

Avantages

The ability to scale up and down our use of the platform is the best feature. We consume thousands of channels of content for ETL and regardless of our ask, EC2 has handled our loads extremely well.

Inconvénients

Setup in the AWS environment can be unintuitive at times, and byzantine at the worst. AWS could definitely do better with some easier means for casually technological teams to make use of the powerhouse toolset.

Avantages

Server Deployment is easy - We use Amazon EC2 for deploying cloud servers for our applications. We have been able to easily deploy multiple configurations from the panel at the click of a button. Y

Built on Linux - EC2 is built on Linux so if you have an understanding of Linux, it makes using EC2 easier.

Cost effective. You really can't beat the cost here, being able to scale at a fraction of the cost of hosting an actual server is worth investing in EC2. You can easily turn off instances of EC2 servers when not in use to save money.

Reliability - Amazon servers have extremely good uptimes which means they are working most of the time, in fact, we have not experienced any downtime since we switched from a fixed host provider.

Inconvénients

As with any platform, learning to use Amazon EC2 can take some time. We had to have our team re-trained to start using it. So it is not ideal if you just want to deploy right away.

Also AWS services are complicated to use in general so you may find it confusing use. For example, the billing panel can be confusing to use if you have multiple instances of servers running.

Because of the complicated nature of the Admin panel, it is easy to get lost in features and tools available, so you are better off staying within the areas of the admin area you know.

Avantages

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

- Easy to use and simple configuration- Amazon provide one year free tier for new user account- Good customer support- Easy to install any OS in EC2 - Provide role base permission to user- Easily manager scaling, load balance and auto scale- Easily share snapshot backup from one account to another account

Inconvénients

- Sometime not able to find an old version OS in new UI- charges for data transfer

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.
