Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)

My company is using EC2 for running their website, which includes java web service & angularjs client, which I'm building. I'm a developer, so, I don't have a lot of experience configuring the network. Fortunately, there are people with whom I'm doing it. I just need to define the security group to limit who can access our system. It is easy to setup load balancing & autoscaling.
  • Launch wizards for new users
  • Security groups management for EC2 containers
  • Very easy to use for a regular user
  • Extensive Documentation
  • UI could be improved.
  • They can reduce the price a bit.
  • They can increase the free tier limit.
  • If something goes wrong with the upgrade then I can roll back to my original system just as quickly.
  • Amazing for performing upgrades.
  • Availability of your services is amazing.
It is better than other products in terms of their support team, documentation and initially, you can set up your services almost without paying anything. Apart from them, AWS services do have the best availability in any region in compared to other cloud products available right now.
Before choosing Amazon EC2, I would recommend making some cost projections based on projected use of the application when it goes into production if the projected costs are in the range of your project's capabilities I totally recommend choosing it because you'll avoid costs about data redundancy and system administration.
