What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

The best about AWS service is that::

1)AWS provides very vast services related to storage , servers, firewalls, networking , security .

2)AWS has good scalability, cost effective , it has good flexibilty .

its has different regions and has good availabity zones which helps with latency issues.

3)AWS provides good security for cloud it has Identity Access Management system , where datas can be protected and different users can be provided with different access and policies.

4)AWS has good security compliance.

5)AWS provided good intergartion when in comes in terms of migration and while deployment of different application using AWS services its lot easier.

6)AWS provides good documentation on its services .

7)AWS cloud provided proper updates on its services and if any new services are included proper webinars are conducted and the process and serices are explained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

Only the thing i dislike about AWS is naming of its services its not easier to find a service related to a particular search and naming its terms .

like example suppose S3 any new fresher wont be able to identify it as a storage service and the related term bucket it should have something named related to storage.

like other services like lightsail we wont know it is severless if you are a fresher. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

AWS helps in meeting our business like we are a company where we provide cloud solutions and we use AWS Cloud for our work and when any clients us with any application deployment , migration and some liking to move into cloud we provide them with AWS estimates , proper documentation with proper solutions and we intake the client and which is beneficial for us . its was all beacuse of AWS cloud which helps us with it.

What do you like best about AWS Fargate?

Best thing about AWS Fargate is there is no hassle to set up any Ec2 instance all the manual configuration hassle. Fargate abstracts all the server configuration and users do not need to provision or manage any servers.

Users just need to specify the CPU and memory requirements for their containers, and AWS automatically provisions the necessary compute resources to meet those requirements.

On running servers that requires no down time aws fargate is the best choice for it.

It can scale in no time and cost efficent Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Fargate?

Pricing part of aws fargate is a little complex you can check thier document for more info.

You willl have less control over your infrastructure as aws allocate and deallocate the containers independently low level stuff is handled by aws only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Fargate solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fargate is solving problem of quick, managable, scalable, serverless, cost effective integration of ecs container instances that requires little to no infra configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

The ease of creating/managing resources be it serverless or managed by us. We migrated the old architecutere to AWS using various services like DMS, Step functions, Lambda, ECS, SNS,SQS,Redshift etc. The integration/implementation process was quite easy and stable. As a team we used to focus more on logic rather than worrying about the infrastructure. Within a year we were able to migrate everything to AWS. We used the new Architecture everyday from ingestion to reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

There were scenarios where the lambda services were not able to invoke other resources which led to data loss. but after connecting to the customer support team we could analyze the issue and with the suggestions of the support team could see to it that the same issue does not arises again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

We migrated the existing architecture of the client from IICS to AWS. Since the licensing cost of IICS is high compared to the AWS services which we had to pay only when it was in use. The cost and time performance we gained after migrating to AWS was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

If you like to pay 10X more for nothing, get no support or pay for a support that goes in circle go for AWS.... we moved to GCP instead which is 10X better... AWS wonder why people uses it? Burning VC money maybe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Fargate?

Fargate abstracts away the complexity of managing servers, clusters, and container orchestration platforms. You only need to define your containerized application's resources and requirements, and AWS takes care of the rest, including scaling, monitoring, and updates.With Fargate, you pay only for the resources your containers use while they are running. This granular billing model can be more cost-effective than traditional VM-based approaches, where you may need to pay for idle resources.Fargate supports both Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), giving you the flexibility to choose the container orchestration platform that best suits your needs.AWS Fargate automatically scales your containerized applications based on demand, allowing you to handle varying workloads without manual intervention.Since AWS handles infrastructure management and scaling, your DevOps team can focus on application development and deployment rather than maintaining and updating underlying infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Fargate?

While the serverless nature of Fargate is a benefit for many users, it might be a drawback for those who require more control over the underlying infrastructure. With Fargate, you have less visibility into the server layer, which could be a concern for applications with specific hardware requirements or for users who prefer managing their infrastructure directly.While the serverless nature of Fargate is a benefit for many users, it might be a drawback for those who require more control over the underlying infrastructure.

What problems is AWS Fargate solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fargate abstracts away the complexities of managing container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes or ECS. This simplification allows us to focus on building and deploying applications without getting bogged down in the intricacies of container management. so now we are able to work on only developing the applications.ith Fargate, we pay only for the resources consumed by your containers, rather than for idle server capacity. This granular billing model can lead to cost savings, particularly for applications with variable workloads or infrequent usage patterns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
