Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is the core piece of our backend. We run almost all of our applications there. Our business requirements meet what the AWS cloud offers to us in terms of scalable capacity, specially Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) because we can setup the software we need, set up the services we want to run, the firewalls and the security patches and in few minutes have a running service for our backend. Also, it connects perfectly with other AWS services.

Pros

  • setup services
  • preconfigured services in marketplace
  • firewalls and security patches

Cons

  • the amount of information spread out in the internet seems confusing
  • there must be more real use case examples with real architectures
  • business agility
  • faster time-to-market (in few days the app is in PROD)
  • on demand resources
It is easy to create and manage virtual machines for our running applications and perform different computing tasks there.
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, including S3 and Cloudfront, to accelerate content delivery and SNS to manage notifications.
