What do you like best about Amazon EC2?
Provides varied instance types suitable for hosting based on the use cases we need. We use EC2 to build AI based models for development and testing; we were able to build the GPU based EC2 instances in a short time and spin up the required software for AI/ML development. Example: EC2 P3 instances comes with NVIDIA GPUs to lauch high end machines easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need to request instance quota limit every time if you want to spin multiple high end machines. Also choosing the right instance types needs better understanding on the specifications. The feature does not cover all use cases "Get advice on instance type selection". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
