### "Ideal for developers who want to have full control of infrstructure"

April 10, 2021

4.0

I felt it is handy for new developers but as you move into serverless world you feel lambda/fargate makes more sense

Pros

I like the way EC2 offere multiple instance types and full control of infrstructure. The free tier instances have decent features which solves most of the use cases. AWS docs on Ec2 is vast and makes it easy to build applications on EC2

Cons

I am a little concerned over the pricing. It seems to be expensive than other cloud providers who offer instances

### "Convenient, saves time and money"

April 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

We moved our phone server to Ec2. Was easy to set up with no real training. Could it be easier? Yes but overall still pretty easy to provision new servers. There's so much flexibility and I love the feature that allows you to predict what your monthly expenses will be. Never been a minute of down time yet.

Cons

Only thing I can say negative is that I feel the vpn pricing is a bit high. Could be more competitively priced. Also it can be cumbersome to figure out where your server is at until you get on the right geographical location.

### "Amazon Web Services"

April 30, 2021

5.0

Overall a positive experience with Amazon's software, the storage is one of the best options about it.

Pros

There is a little bit of everything you might need, I only used the media portion but there is room to branch out in the other niches.

Cons

There was not a particular feature that I did not, the software simply became one more platform I had to check and keep track of.
