"Any heavy job can be done with light weight."
What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

VPCs are used to set up a virtual network in the cloud; what makes Amazon VPC different is that it provides information and simple tools for beginners to use; when I used Amazon VPC for the first time, I was a complete beginner, but I had no trouble getting up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

Having an active resource within a VPC makes it more difficult to delete the VPC, as it prevents the deletion of dependent services. You would save considerable time by allowing deletion only after a warning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first, it feels complicated for beginners to get started with it. The interface of half of the applications is still pretty old. Also, the billing of the used cloud services is not mentioned in detail. It has a very overall view of the prices. Sometimes, you really need to optimize your expenses all the time. Also, there should a predicting tool to know how much would it cost to run a particular job on the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
