What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?

Amazon EC2 offers per second billing option to the Linux instances we use, so we don't need to use machine for a single second more than needed. Unlike EC2 other similar products don't offer per second billing option, we need to pay for certain amount of time even though we just use to run a simple query which will be completed in seconds.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favourite aspect of the Amazon EC2 instances is it's wide range of OS family collection. We can choose from most basic to the cutting edge tech OSes with high compute resources. The best thing is we can spin up any VM in seconds. Also the Savings and Reserved Instances plan helps our team to save a lot of money.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Nothing to dislike about Amazon EC2 at this point of time as it has everything we need.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are looking to host your applications in cloud without the maintenance headaches of the VMs, please go for EC2.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
