What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

I've been a cloud engineer for a year and continue working on AWS as my cloud service provider. One of the best things that I like about AWS is:

1: its easy-to-use UI and one of the best features is its services; AWS provides almost every product and software engineering service.

2:one thing I would like to highlight at the end is its cost is significantly less as compared to other service providers.

3: AWS has more compliance certifications and security-related services than others.

4:AWS has rich documentation and support, making it easy for users to get started and troubleshoot any issues. AWS offers a range of support plans, including 24/7 support for critical issues of its users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

1:AWS offers per-hour billing, and the data transmission format is generally encrypted in the case of its competitor; I sometimes feel insecure.

2:One more thing I dislike about AWS takes 15-20 mins to spin up a simple website.

3:AWS is a proprietary platform; once an application is built on AWS, it can be challenging to migrate to another cloud platform, which may limit users' flexibility and increase costs in the long run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

AWS solving the problem of Infrastructure on demand , initially we need to buy huge servers now we don't need to buy any physical servers we can just simply scale depending on our needs , now in times of sales one of my clients they use AWS now sales season very high crowd visits their website and after-sales period sales drop to normal rate so they can't predict the number of customers and they cant buy large physical server without knowing the numbers ,so here AWS helped us to scale in and out depending on their need.

These are the features that I really like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)?

The main downside of using Amazon VPC it is complexity especially as I am the beginner who may find the setup of subnet route table gateway and security rules overwhelming managing the VPC can involve significant overall compared to more automated or default network setup. Traffic visibility is also limited unless we configure VPC flow logs which add more setup to potential cost lastly I sense VPCR reason specific connection across regions required additional contribution making multi region architecture more complex that I little bit dislike this application service.

Basically in my organization Amazon VPC solve the lots of problems security and efficiently managing network infrastructure in the cloud it allows us to isolate resource control IP addressing and managing traffic flow between service user and Internet without VPC cloud resources would share the common network increasing the risk of security breaches and limiting customization VPC enables secure communication between instances private access to AWS service and hybrid connection to on premises these are the problems that that basically in our business it has resolved.

What do you dislike about Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)?

As of my experience It requires experience. Constructing peering connections and VPNs, as well as configuring routing, resembles an intricate maze. On top of it all, expenses pile up quickly if you are not vigilant. Such an advanced product comes with challenges! 😅 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I felt it was very much less flexible than other registries than Docker Hub, Nexus, JFrog Artifactory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows me to automatically integrate all services with other AWS Services and this is a huge benefit from a cloud-native perspective. Instead of Dockerhub, using Amazon ECR promotes more security and control as everything can be handled from one-go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Ability to scale up and scale down seamlessly

2. The fact that it's managed and we don't need to maintain the infrusctucure. We only concentrate on business logic and database schema

3. It supports both SQL Server and Posgres technologies that we use

4. It's very easy to implement and pilot different solutions that we need

5. the fact we can use it on-demand making it OPEX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not cheap, but we maintain it as a cost of running smooth business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have several different type of databases in our products - SQL Server, Postgres different versions. We use RDS to simplify the management, improve scalability, availability and reliability.

What do you like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

Signing up with Amazon RDS is relatively easy and there are so many features that are offered. The backup is automated while the architecture can be scaled and replication is managed automating the complexity of the database out of the user’s way. It is a set package solution with those necessary features that increase dependence and productivity for organizations. It has very fast implementation and has good support to customers. Using frequently. It is relatively easy to integrate with other . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

Amazon RDS is a friendly user but its underlying infrastructure is not accessible in advanced configuration. But at the same time, the extensive feature set is a positive, but ties in with a negative — cost, especially for large workloads. RDS is a great answer for the large majority of your needs, however, it may be limited in its flexibility should you need to create something more complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Amazon RDS provides something analogous to how we maintain databases and prepare them for scale by automating backups, patching, and replication. Thus, we enable ourselves to concentrate on data analysis and application development rather than infrastructure management and reap benefits in terms of improved productivity and reduced operational overhead with which we are very much dependent on for the business growth.

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Cost-effective with on-demand requests-based billing to cut down costs of an EC2 instance which runs 24/7 and even no need for maintenance required. Able to easily handle a thousand concurrent requests and scales automatically based on incoming requests. Support for the most popular programming languages stands out from the competition. Integration with other AWS services was seamless and very helpful to build a end-to-end product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Being stateless by design, the state cannot be maintained in most places makes it necessary to store the data either in other AWS services or any external storage. As it's a cloud-based function debugging is a bit more difficult and limited access to logs makes it more difficult. An execution timeout of 15 mins makes it hard for some long asynchronous file handling process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Some offset functions that need to be separated from the main code base and doesn't need a EC2 instance to be running all the time as the incoming requests are limited and not resource intensive. And whole the security part is taken over by AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

The first thing I like about AWS cloud is it's user friendly user interface and the documentation it offers for its users.

Being the largest cloud provider, it offers vast number of features that one can implement in their software development workflows.

The learning opportunities and contents that AWS offers is very much useful to cloud learners who begin with AWS as their first cloud platform.

Easy integration with multiple other platforms makes it easier for developers to work with in their software development process and day-to-day activities utilising AWS cloud.

Implementing a new workflow in AWS is much easier and simpler compared to the competitors.

The customer support AWS offers is really fantastic, including the basic support that it offers even with free of cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

Given that AWS cloud has plenty of features, the cost of those features really comes at higher price compared to the other cloud providers such as Azure and GCP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

AWS solves the need for a data center for hosting and deploying our applications.

As a startup, it was much easier for us to implement new resources in AWS and reduced the time required to launch our product in the market.

It offers multiple services which are readily available in AWS with much less configuration changes needed.

It helps us save costs and focus on building the business instead of managing the data center and its servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Lambda?

Awesome service if you are looking for some quick quirks!! I would recommend highly if you are looking for running serverless applications which can also integrates with many AWS services like S3, DynamoDB, API gateway etc. The best thing about this service is automating things with ease and you pay only for the compute time you use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Lambda?

Only disadvantage over this many advantages.. Need to perform some work around as the execution time is quite long (15 minutes). Debugging might be tricky some times as the logs are stored directly in CloudWatch and sometimes its quite difficult to debug. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Firstly It eliminates the configuration of infrastructure as it is ideal for serverless apps. Simply uploading the code solves the rest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)?

The most important feature which makes it standout in the market is, integration with other AWS services. And it enhances its functionality, making it seamless to use within the AWS ecosystem. Another best features are scalability and flexibility. Amazon S3 has different storage classes which your purpose according to the requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)?

Latency can be an issue sometimes as AWS S3 is optimized for high availability instead of low latency. Pricing is competitive as compared to other Cloud Service Providers. Apart from these, I have never come across anything to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) can be used as a centralized data lake. We are working on a web application developement for a client. And the web application performance need to be monitored in real-time by analyzing logs and user events. Logs and events from various sources (web servers, applications, databases) are pushed continuously to S3 bucket by using Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose. On the other hand, S3 event notification triggers an AWS Lambda function everytime new log data is uploaded to S3 bucket. AWS Lambda processes the log data to filter, transform and enrich in real time, such as extracting IP addresses, URLs, reputation, categorizing event types etc. The processed log data and user events are then stored in S3 Glacier for long-term archiving. By using Amazon S3, we have implemented real-time monitoring which benefits both operational insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
