Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Web Services

Amazon Web Services is being used cross the whole organization. We have VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) on AWS and send data via Kinesis. And we provide the solution to customers via a web server in VPC.
  • Easy to manage through Amazon Management Console.
  • Separate secure (virtual) service on cloud.
  • So far it has the most used cloud solution. Easily get example or feedback from other users.
  • There is a Kinesis API in Java and C# versions. But the C++ version needs to built on Linux, which is a tedious job.
  • Still, as most used cloud solution, there is a lack of examples or useful code on using AWS.
  • Positive impact is we can provide customers a service
AWS has more APIs to use on the cloud. Microsoft has an API mainly for the Microsoft platform. And Google has different big data analytics than other competitors [do].
This is so far the most commonly used cloud solution. You can get a lot of examples and blogs to compare to other cloud solutions -- though there are only a few.
