Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)

Amazon EC2 is being used by my organization as the centralized cloud server hosting tool. It is being used across the entire organization and is one of the most important tools that we have to run our company. We run all types of servers from testing to development to staging servers and we use all different types of images when we run our servers. It solves the need to have a cloud based, infinitely scalable system to better host everything from applications to backend servers and so on.
  • elastic compute
  • cloud server creation
  • infinite scalability
  • ability to secure and deploy servers on the run
  • cloud imaging and machine images
  • user interface
  • documentation
  • server sizes and regions
  • lower TCO
  • improved access and durability of infrastructure
  • Lower time to deploy applications
  • High availability of various regions for software deployment
AWS EC2 is fully interfaced with the Amazon Web Services platform and Google Compute Engine fits in more with Google. While either provider would have been fine, we are pretty much all built on top of AWS at this point barring some clients. It just flowed easier.
Amazon's support is pretty good, but I don't like how they have paid support tiers that definitely modifies my ability to get helped quickly.

Amazon EC2 is one of the best tools a development and software company could ask for. It is infinitely scalable and relatively easy to use when it comes to all the things that we used to do that took a long time because human beings had to provision rack mounted servers by hand. It's less apporpriate for enterprise settings where there is still a presence of older, localized infrastructure.
