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

Amazon EC2 simply offers so many awesome features.

Inconvénients

Its princing is not the best in the market.

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

Offers a remarkable level of customization, making it a fantastic choice for tailoring your computing resources to your exact needs. With a wide variety of pre-configured operating systems available, setting up your environment is a breeze. This platform is particularly sysadmin-friendly, providing the tools and flexibility needed to manage and optimize your system efficiently. It's like having an all-in-one solution at your fingertips

Inconvénients

The documentation provided can be somewhat lacking, which can make it challenging for users, especially newcomers, to navigate the platform effectively. Additionally, the pricing structure and advertising could benefit from more transparency and clarity to help users better understand the costs involved. Lastly, setting up monitoring can be a bit complex, and streamlining this process could make it more user-friendly. Despite these issues, EC2 still provides robust cloud computing capabilities for those willing to navigate these challenges

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

It provide best firewall and security features.

Inconvénients

I didn't find any drawback as of now. all good.

Avantages

It is easy to use out of the box and can be set up quickly.

Inconvénients

So far it has been great and we have limited issues.

Avantages

AWS has good name recognition. If you're an IT Service provider, or if you own a company for which you want to get funding, name-dropping AWS could give you some additional credibility.

AWS has every feature you could hope for in an IaaS system.

Inconvénients

AWS has every feature you could hope for in an IaaS system. I've very rarely seen any organization or application that needs anywhere close to what AWS offers. Most people use EC2, Lambda, Database services, Kubernetes services, and maybe Kafka. But most less expensive, and less complicated providers have all of these features too.

As a user, you have to set up all of the underlying infrastructure like network groups, overly complicated (but not better) security configurations, etc. Most of the work setting up an environment on AWS is setting up things you don't really need.

You'll receive bills from AWS and chances are, it will be considerably more than you estimated, and you'll have to spend considerable time finding where the cost is coming from, and changes are, you'll have a lot of trouble shutting down the unneeded items.

Avantages

Easy to deploy
Easy to configure
Fast and reliable tools
Fully customizable

Inconvénients

Console user management
Roles assignment is tricky
Cost is a little higher than competitors

Pourquoi choisir Amazon EC2 

Pourquoi passer à Amazon EC2

Avantages

The ability to spool up a server in a few minutes has always blown my mind. I had a recent server failure that resulted in me spooling up a new server to replace it. I was able to get the job done in under two hours. It would have been much faster than that if I had done it before, but there was some learning required in the process. I've documented the process, so the next time this happens, I will be able to get back up and running in minutes.

Having been in IT my whole life, this ability is quite amazing. It was the stuff of dreams over a decade ago and now I get to live it out. There are way too many good things to say about EC2. I can have multiple servers spread across the world so I can service my customers locally, instead of them having to traverse continents and oceans to hit up a server. I can attach and detach storage so I can start working from where I last started. The list goes on and on.

I want to say that there is a plethora of helpful information available to those who need support. The Amazon support information is great as well as YouTube and other informational sites. If you're Google-Fu is up to date, you can get the help you need without having to pick up the phone.

Inconvénients

The biggest con to EC2 is the shear vastness of features, tools, and functionality. For people who are new and want to start off, there is not an easy or simple "get started here" path that I have found. There is so much to learn, and so much you will never know, that getting some help at the beginning should really be considered.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

- 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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

EC2 was the core infrastructure in the Platform I have developed for a few months. It has provided computing sources for a Web App that was used extensively by hundreds of clients. It was reliable (no downtimes were recorded) and quite easy to set up. We have used different configurations of EC2 to meet our efficiency needs

Inconvénients

The learning curve for EC2 and AWS overall is quite steep, so the first steps were quite hard, but it was worth the effort to learn administrating EC2.

Avantages

What I like most about Amazon EC2 is that it is a tool that has many uses is very versatile and allows me to customize the requirements that I need according to the project that I am developing, I can increase the amount of ram, hdd, processor memory easily from the website, it also has a high level of security, and allows you to manually configure many functions, such as ports, tasks, the control panel from the website is very intuitive and with many features, it also has a command line for more cases specific.

Inconvénients

It is an easy-to-use tool for basic use, however for something more specific it is really complex, the most difficult to learn to use is the console, it has many commands.

Avantages

It provides a variety of options to create machines with different type of configurations. It is safe, secure and scalable. I started using this service to learn some features.

Inconvénients

Some time, my machine stayed open and I did not know about it. After some time I got a mail with certain amount of bill. I was using a free service with limited hours. AWS should have alerted me if I was going over the limit.

Avantages

This Amazon tool is really useful since it has great advantages that is why I like it for several reasons being the main one that is extremely flexible, easy to use, easy to access, requires no maintenance and only pays for what is used, account with an interface that is very intuitive in addition to that in case of having doubts about it provides tutorials or a really compressible documentation so there is no way of not being able to understand its use, also it can be customized to cover each one of the needs that search the user thus being able to host any application, or web service of business or personal interest.

Inconvénients

This tool works very well so finding faults as such is difficult, the only drawback is that locating a support team directly can be complicated but it is not impossible.

Avantages

AWS EC2 instances are easy to launch and use we can use any OS we need , AMI are available and we can directly launch them from dash board on AWS cloud . all type of instance are available as per the requirement like general purpose , and instances which are optimised in computation , Memory and Ram can be selected . EBS volume can be attached according to requirement .

Inconvénients

when upgrade is required then we have to separately upgrade instance and EBS volume and run command to attach the EBS volume .
