Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Web Services
Amazon Web Services is being used by the Software Development department. We use S3 to host videos and thumbnail images for a particular web application. In the past we've used EC3 to host a Node.js server and RDS services to host a MySQL database.
- I've found AWS easy to setup.
- I found it easy to upload videos and images to S3 using their GUI.
- It was also easy to setup security permission on S3 so only a single site could access our videos.
- When connecting up EC2 and RDS it was a bit difficult, but that was a few years ago so the process may have improved. I think Elastic Beanstalk addresses this issue.
- AWS has made it easy to host our videos and images and to make them more secure.
