Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Web Services
Amazon Web Services allows me to create a virtual machine running Linux so that security, availability, elasticity, reliability, and cost factors are all accounted for. Information Assurance is of top priority, including claims-based authentication, single sign-on, MEAN stack, and secure SSH access with public and private PKI infrastructure to leverage AAA best practices.
- Cost: AWS's free tier enables developers to try out the service with no commitment. The resiliency of the AWS infrastructure is a great value-add.
- Ubiquity: AWS networks have the availability and elasticity which not only meet the needs of developers, but also end users.
- AWS is an E2E solution for deploying, managing, and continuously integrating software development.
- AWS needs to improve their java-based browser SSH client. Both Azure and Google Cloud Platform far exceed AWS in this regard.
- AWS lacks the ability to SSH from windows at this time without extensive modifications to the operating system.
- AWS needs a trial period to demo paid features within a free tier window, not locked out of premium services.
- Excellent value for money.
- Wonderful education experience.
- Intelligent customer feedback tools.
- Microsoft and Google App Engine
I selected AWS for my development environment and disaster recovery, due to the simplicity compared to other vendors.
