Amazon AWS
It is well suited for scaling up our cloud virtual machines to handle the increase or decrease in workload. It really helps us to satisfy the demand because it doesn't take lot of time to spin up new machines. If there is unpredictability in the demand it is very useful. But it is a over kill if demand is consistent.

If you're looking for a cost-effective solution then this is a good choice, be sure to keep on top of your balance! The 100% uptime is also a nice addition, although not unique in a cloud hosting service.

Amazon AWS
  • Set policies to add more instances when CPU utilization exceeds.
  • Prevents downtime, as we don't need to stop the servers.

  • The billing reports are quite hard to read, could be simplified
  • A control panel function would be useful
  • The re-billing process could be better, not so cut throat if you miss a payment!

We use AWS auto scaling for scaling up our cloud virtual machines to handle the increase or decrease in workload. It really helps us to satisfy the demand because it doesn't take lot of time to spin up new machines. I gave the rating 10 because it really does help you to handle the sudden spike in number of requests.

We trialed UpCloud to see if it would be better than DigitalOcean but for our needs, it was not. On DigitalOcean once a droplet is created, almost no thought needs to go into maintenance, outages, or other reliability-based issues.
