Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Web Services

We are using Amazon Web Services in all our new web applications and we are moving all the projects in the company. Amazon Web Service has allowed to automate the infrastructure of our projects, increase the speed of the development, and scale our software easily with reduced down time. Amazon Web Services is fundamental in our array of infrastructure solutions, since we host the applications, backups, static files and databases thinking always as architecture of services. We integrate perfectly our development instances, with a repository, that is connected to Amazon Web Services in order to provide continuous integration and delivery by running automated testings and deploy it to the Amazon Web Services cloud in minutes automatically.
  • Architecture of services
  • Scalability of application
  • Mulitple zones of availability
  • Improvements in the usability of the dashboard. Initially it can be overwhelming.
  • IAM users and roles configurations are complex to configure and understand.
  • Misses predefined architectures of common applications.
  • Higher availability
  • Faster web applications
  • Zero down time application
  • Increase employee efficiency
The flexibility and innovation are the keys. Amazon Web Services provides all the solutions I need in one [place]. With other providers I don't have enough flexibility to create my architecture of services as I need them. Only Amazon Web Services pre-configures services ready to go and with the certainty that they will scale over time.
Can I increase resources independently?
A difference with other providers is you have enough flexibility with the machines you use, you can configure each machine as you want.
Does it have multiple zones of availability?
It has multiple zones of availability around the world, so you can pick the most convenient for your case.
Does it have good support?
There is plenty of documentation, and a big community supporting it.
