EC2 Container Service is tightly integrated with other Amazon services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the large amount of instances and programming tools they provide which make the work more scalable and elastic. applications on linux instances costs less than those on windows and also it helps in the overall costs.the best thing about EC2 is the version control and it does it in its own best way as follows:Closely coupled with the development environment Version control is the heart and soul of any source based application, and there's no reason not to put this on something like an EC2 server. The bandwidth usage is minimal. The guaranteed backed up aspect is a huge load off the restless mind, and the next time you have to run reports on the last three hundred and seventy five thousand revisions… it does not bring your real (or test) environment reaching to a rather annoying halt!

the cost and some things which makes some extra work and also covering the costs and allocating the resources on demand was tough. We should add our own security precautions like that on any server although it is with them and that's one of the main issues as we have to do the installation and maintenance of the features we installed.

I, first of all, I like the great price and compatibility with the millions of AWS products out there. The system works flawlessly and continuously, regardless of traffic, time of day, or any other factor.

My employer is delighted with the price, and I'm delighted with the flexibility and uptime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the complexity and lack of user-friendliness required to deploy containers as a service, though I appreciate the flexibility this affords. I dislike the customized method for getting a "docker login" command, but I understand it's all for the security and flexibility of AWS identity management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Makes it so easy to bring up an instance. It takes under 30 seconds to bring up a working ec2 machine which is just awesome!

2. Wide range of memory and compute configurations to choose from.

3. per second billing, pay only for what you use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Amazon web services has a really outdated UI.

2. With azure coming up with more cost effective plans, AWS need to innovate further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best things are that you can create a cluster out of spot instances, easily scale the instances in the cluster and the containers (tasks) in the service depending on CloudWatch alarms. Easy integration to CloudWatch logs. Options to choose between various deployment strategies like AZ, Binpack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ECR has no way to edit tags from the console. And the only way to update the service is to create a new revision of task definition, which gets cluttered very soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Large, cheap, and limitless storage that can be used for any purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Latency/speeds to retrieve or upload large amounts of data especially large data output (crash logs) from alpha and beta test programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Super easy to start up. Trial period is friendly enough and gives you a good idea of what you can do scale wise. Interface for launching is quite easy and accessing and integration was simple enough (for what we had to do anyways). There is a TON of documentation written by amazon itself and more courses are getting added to Udemy, Coursera, pluralsight, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-medium stuff can be super expensive and not worth it compared to other solutions. I would say try to keep it super small or scale big to get a better deal. But it is on a “month to month” basis for most of the stuff so you can assess as you go if you don’t mind investing time into a pilot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Service is really easy to use and solve all the problems related to the infrastructure. We are already using AWS for EC2 storage and routing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS is extremely functional, but its not reliable sometimes because it crashes and doesnt account for the loss.Additional level of virtualization, kills performance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to setup, AWS provides lots of defaults that are easy to setup if you don't mind AWS tool chain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS ECS revolves around AWS tools. If you want to setup any external solution it's going to be hard. (e.g. load balancer best with ALB, logs best with Cloudwatch, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integrates seamlessly with Elastic Beanstalk - providing a simple and effective containerised deployment solution.

Reliable and predictable when setup and working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slow to startup, can be very difficult to debug startup issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
