What do you like best about Amazon Linux 2?

I have been using 10 of these servers in load balancer at amazon for my development server, production server as well as websites. They work well and are pretty reliable. No complains what so ever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Linux 2?

What problems is Amazon Linux 2 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reliable server for Cheap. Very useful for early stage startups, I love the fact that you create an instance on these in minutes and get going with your application. No need to worry about the server after that. Security, backups etc taken care by Amazon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
