What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?

I think the wide variety of features that it offers, be it snapshots, AMIs, EBS, EFS etc. Also from the cost perspective, the support for spot, Reserved Instances and even Savings plan. Trusted Advisor plays a great role in identifying the under utilised EC2s and help us save cost

It would be nice to filter all EC2s across all regions in one single page and filter.

What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?

Many of the services offered by AWS are beneficial to the software development process. Amazon primarily offers SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS services, all of which can be utilised in accordance with our needs. I hosted a web API using AWS EC2.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It only took me a few days to find my way around the many Amazon EC2 modules as a beginner in cloud computing, including generating instances, launching instances, scaling up or down the compute resources, and monitoring the instance for any issues or inconsistencies. I think the user-friendly interface that enables you to find the needed information is a key factor in its success.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I have nothing against Amazon Cloud, but if you are not aware of which goods have features that incur an extra fee, it might be a headache for your boss in some situations.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The nicest thing about Amazon Cloud is that you may allocate all of the applications running in your local and fail-prone data centre there because it is safe, scalable, and economical. We also need to take into account the fact that you will always have access to a professional who can help you when you need it. These are my recommendations to all.
